cooltigger21 0 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It will be interesting to see where Boom lands, and who takes over for the Gators. The SEC is a tough place to work. Maybe a "hard place to work"...but a much harder place to be successful. JMO but WM will have some decent opportunities to look at. These days, like in major league baseball, it's not much of a career killer to be fired from a top job. He learned a lot at UF that will be of benefit somewhere else. The thought that he will jump into a DC job somewhere is hard for me to accept. It might happen but generally, once a person has been the top guy...it's hard to go backwards over a career hiccup. It depends on what he's willing to do. If he's willing to go to a CUSA or Sun Belt level of program, he can probably step right into a head coaching job. If he considers that not worthy of his talents then he will have to step back and be a DC at a major program. All depends on that ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's noteworthy that McElwain has a buyout of $7.5 million. I heard his name mentioned as a sort of darkhorse candidate back last month. Interesting choice if it turns out to be him. I know they likely want an offensive minded coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltigger21 0 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Have the Bammers started claiming that the reason Muschamp was fired was because of Nick Saban? It seems like whenever there's been some type of coaching change in the SEC that it's been because no one can keep up with Nick Saban. They won't mention this...gotta remember that all of them said he was hired because he was a Saban disciple so there is no way they can take credit for his firing too. Even that defies bama logic. nothing is beyond that bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
