RE: [gatortalk] McElwain gets a raise, now the highest paid coach in SEC East

Bianchi mentioned Coach Mac's salary last week.  He said something like "just charge it to the SEC Network!"

Anyone else think this is insanity? A 750k raise and over 4 million in salary?

 

Well, second only to the stupidity of how much we paid Muschamp not to coach, and then forgot to put in a one-year non-compete to keep him from stealing our top recruits.

 

I would think that - during the original negotiations that took place only a year ago - someone considered the possibilities that the Gators would win the SEC East, the SEC title, earn a playoff spot and/or win the Championship game. Each of these possibilities would have come with an appropriate bonus that everyone was happy with.

 

To pay that bonus, and then give a raise is equivalent to paying the bonus twice. I have to wonder if the UAA has an attorneys on staff, or if Foley breathes orange and blue incense, goes into a trance, and agrees to the first vision that crosses his mind.

 

Between the O-Dome renovations and the needed football facility upgrades (such as the dorms), this money clearly could have been used elsewhere without violating NCAA rules.
