Stricklin to Florida?

[TrapGame]

You are obviously missing the point so o will summarize. Under Byrne Dan was told what to do and was held accountable. Bring in Strick and Dan starts dictating Strick, ultimately leading to Dan being allowed to whore himself out over multiple seasons, neglect recruiting, keep his Yankee dick demeanor and not make the proper coaching staff changes. Fast forward to 2015/16 off season and Keenum had seen enough. Enough of Dan's shit and enough of Stricks lack of backbone. Keenum puts his foot down on Dan, and Strick to some extent. Dan is given NO extension and an ultimatum to meet or he will not get any extensions. Strick is also put on alert to force some changes. Then we have our first 3 games, coach in shorts and same coach only showing fire for 2 out of 12 quarters thus far. Based on 3 games, Mullen is far from reaching Keenum's ultimatum, andScott is getting out while he still has a little stock value. It's rather simple really, for those of you paying attention at home.

I've heard that Dan has been told that if he wins less than 5 games he will be fired. This is more about his low energy, complacency and his eagerness to job hunt at the absolute worst time (recruiting). I heard this from a long time booster yesterday but didn't want to post it until someone else kinda got close to it. It could be a scare tactic or incentive for Dan to show some fire and desire. Then again it could be complete bullshit. We'll see.

I'm not a big Scott fan, I admit it. So if he's gone, who is an up and comer we can go after?

If you are going to fault SS for being run over by Mullen then you also need to fault Byrne for hiring Mullen in the first place. SS inherited Mullen while Byrne hired, built him into what he is and bailed.

Make no mistake. Dan Mullen holds the power in this situation. He makes nearly 10x what his boss makes and has an outrageous buyout. How much power does SS truly have? Do you think he can go in and fire Mullen and just tell the University to pony up?

He can threaten to fire him...yes. But Mullen is going to laugh in his face and say go for it. This is the monster that Byrne built, not SS. What SS can do is refuse to extend his contract...that is pretty much all. And guess what? Mullen doesn't care. He will take the remaining money due on his contract and then go elsewhere.

No. You have some info from the negative booster side but a lot of that is false with how a lot of that has happened since 2013. Mark has had to cut the legs out of both sides because of negative impact some boosters were having and still trying. And he did it to the boosters as well. There is not anywhere near the contention between him and Strick you are alluding to.

Your last sentence that Scott is getting out while he had little stock value to market himself is as absurd and shows what little information you really have. It's freaking Florida coming at his twice with nearly triple salary. That's not little stock value and luckily landing up in job. Asinine thought process.

[Dawgface]

If he can make triple he would crazy not to take it. Hell....I would go to OM if I could make triple. Well.....maybe not.

[HSVDawg]

What's the going rate for a good athletic director? I thought Byrne had balls of steel. We were paying him less than half of what loafers is making. If UF is offering 1.4 million, maybe Strick should take it. I have a hard time justifying anything near that.

Well maybe that's one reason we had one AD poached by another Power 5 school and his replacement is currently being aggresively courted by another Power 5 school within the conference (in spite of his current school being his alma mater). Stricklin is a huge bargain compared to what they would have to pay the current AD at Texas, USC, or Ohio State to come to UF. We have got to pony up here. No way can we afford to start shuffling through athletic directors at the same frequency as we currently do with defensive coordinators.

I know you were joking, but wasn't part of Cohen's new deal an assistant AD title?

Couple of things, Mullen has taken Msu to 6 straight bowl games, no way in hell did someone say if you don't win 5 games we will fire you. Now may be he was told he needs to show more passion for the job he has and if he wants out of his contract so be it. Mullen has earned to hire or fire who he wants up until now, when you start losing you evaluate the situation after the season, not during the season!

I'm not disagreeing in all what you say, Mullen has faults, some or the negative haters want ever be happen with him, so be it, but as for as winning he has done pretty well.

Any business man or head of a company knows it's better to try and work out things than to say let's get rid of them w/o seeing if one can change for the better. It's costly firing coaches and starting over, yes sometimes it's best but not for Msu and Mullen today.

I just hope we "slobber knock snot balls" out of UMass and others.

Hmmm. AD salaries are not like football. The elite AD's are around $1 MIL (the guy at Vandy doesn't count, his deal is very unique). But then you have like Bama and Auburn around $600,000. I think Moore has extra like $250,000 possible bonus though. Foley and Williams are the only ones over a $1 MIL in the SEC. So we are talking Scott being one of the top 5 AD's in the country in salary possibly with $1.4 MIL possible

[It_Could_Happen]

IMO- Jay Jacobs is the best AD in the country, just thought I would throw that out there. I know many will disagree, just my opinion. Curious how much he makes.

Anyway, if any of you follow the Arky AD Jeff Long ( grew up in Arkansas, still follow him) he had a pretty interesting tweet about this. Didn't directly reference it, but everyone knew what it was about. Go check it out.

" A new opportunity is not always a better opportunity. Choose wisely grasshopper." That's what it said

I think Jacobs makes $615,000. Long is a good AD, I'm not near as a big fan of Jacobs.

Idea was great. Execution, not so much.

I like long as well. He has completely rejuvenated their brand.

I'm not saying we pay him $1.4 million, but we can't just pay bottom dollar because we're his alma mater and he shouldn't ever want to leave, either. I'd be willing to bet Strick's current salary is probably bottom 3 or 4 in the SEC. Considering the current state of the the department and that he was voted AD of the year, I'd say that is way too low.

Yep. Very smart guy and well respected.

I don't know this story. What was it?

Yep. Him and Bjork are dead last in the league, I believe. Just giving everyone the idea that it's not huge salary differences accross the landscape but that offer is almost Saban like in comparison. Byrne makes $600,000 for reference at Arizona.
