Quote:I keep having to tell people that there is more money in the nfl.  People I know keep thinking they can get WHOEVER THEY WANT because UF has money growing on trees.  It's just not true.  UF has a budget.  Jim Harbaugh is not going to make more money at UF. 

 

coaches normally don't take a step back to college unless they aren't doing well.  they don't go back to college for money, cause it's not there.

 

UF is not going to spend a bajillion dollars on a contract like everybody assumes.

 

 

Well when Alabama and many other schools are willing to spend more money than your school, you aren't going to get that coach your school thinks they deserve.  Everyone keeps saying Florida is an elite job....its only elite if you're willing to pay for an elite coach.

 

The school will lose more money in the coming years in tickets, merchandise, etc. if they choose not to spend money and get a good coach.  Three more seasons like the past couple years will dramatically reduce people in the stands and their relevance in the football world.  

 

I have a feeling Foley can find some money in the budget if a winning football program can continue bringing money in the school.  Fyi, Foley only makes 1.2 million.  I was surprised he didnt make more.
