Even FU doesn't believe McElwain on this. I have my doubts now about it, too.

I'd like to say I hated to see that but I loved it. Reminded me of the way Wake beat them down a few years back. I think Jimbo should keep this group of coaches he has assembled. We can only hope it starts hurting their recruiting.

Good chance of rain tonight in the Valley. This game has me a little concerned. KB can't be healthy and if he can't run the ball then watch out. Hopefully GT turns it over several times in the rain.

It's All About The U, baby!

They have quit plan and simple. Jimbo needs to clean house asap. The writing has been on the wall since after we won the NC that these new coachs can't get it done. No way in hell we should have got smashed like that by BC. BC doesn't have one 5 star or even 4 star on there roster, FSU has 10 five stars and 38 four stars. That tells me the coaching sucks starting with Jimbo.

Yeah also remember what happened after that Wake beat down we cleaned house and started wining again. So we will see. But when we play CU in a couple of weeks they should have the running clock that ass kicking is going to be epic.

If it makes you feel any better the Gators are on track to lose by about 100 points to Georgia.

Wow, Ohio St. really no-showed in the first half.

[Moviefan1203]

Does McElwain survive this?

[BizCat]

Omg OSU

[ChadFL]

Penn St.

[Moviefan1203]

Very impressed by Ohio State.

[BizCat]

So so so EXCITED!!!!!!

Gators looking for a way to try to void McElwain's contract for cause. I'd be very surprised if they manage to pull this off. They'll probably have to buy him out to get rid of him.

Florida administrators discussing if they can fire McElwain

University of the Florida administrators are discussing whether they can fire coach Jim McElwain with cause, multiple sources told ESPN.

After failing to find any evidence to substantiate claims made by McElwain this week that his family and players received death threats, Florida administrators have worked to see if McElwain's allegations were enough to relieve the university from paying McElwain's full buyout of $12.9 million if he were to be fired.

Sources told ESPN that they believe the university has enough cause to fire McElwain without having to pay his buyout. Sources also said that if McElwain were to be relieved of his duties, defensive coordinator Randy Shannon would be asked to be the team's interim coach.

When all else fails, crank up the D-line baby ! Lots of future Sunday players there, plus I think they rotate 10+ players on that line and few offenses can survive that for 4 quarters.

Seriously though, Meyer is way over-rated and not really getting the job done considering the level of talent he gets on his teams. Master recruiter, no doubt, but only mediocre as a coach. For example, his insistence to keep f@cking around with cutesy kickoff schemes has cost the Bucks way too many pts., and not just this year. Passing game has been mainly crap for the last 2 years because they can't seem to teach receivers how to run routes/get open. They're starting to get better and the recent uptick in the passing game is also down to Wilson FINALLY attacking the middle of the field with play calling.

And good for JT if he is. He has been criticized far too much for the (mainly) lame passing game of the past 2 years. See above ...

This is ridiculous. He's won BIG at every school he's coached at. He will go down as one of the greatest coaches in college football. There is nothing overrated about him. Can we just stop using the word overrated. Instances like this where it is completely misused are the reasons I hate the word.
