that happened quick. figured they'd wait until the end of the year.

plus there's that whole weird "I've been getting death threats" (c) McElwain / "report them" (c) UF / "I didn't mean specific death threats" (c) McElwain.

rumor is that Florida is hoping to use that as some sort of legalise to avoid a buyout. not sure how plausible that is. worth a $12 million (McElwain's payout) look, I guess.
2627885, Butch Jones still ain't been fired yet lmao

to get fired. he seems like he wants out as much as everyone else.

2627887, Granted the offense hasn't even been decent the last two years

But I don't understand fan bases like Florida or UTexas or places like that. He won the divisional title TWICE in three years and that's not good enough?!

I mean I get that at some schools the expectations are literally conference or national title or bust. But, man. #Power5Problems
2627889, lmao @ winning the SEC East

It's like the homeless person's version of winning the B1G West.
2627893, he was hired to help

them get better on offense. yeah, they won the SEC Least, but they still sucked and couldn't score.

still I'm surprised this happened before the year is over. makes me wonder if Fisher is in trouble at FSU.
2627895, Fisher is not in trouble

If the noles are bad next year as well though, then for sure.

2627896, McElwain wasn't going to get it popping there. 3 years made that obvious

2627899, Texas had that good ole 'cism and a white knight in the wing.

2627891, Good riddance. Now go get Scott frost.

Let’s go with someone w/o an SEC ‘connection’

Worked out well with urban Meyer
2627898, +1 on Scott

2627918, also, UF would be a good redemption spot for Chip Kelly.
