Quote:Who said pay them Saban type money?  There is a large difference in what they are offering and what Saban makes.  If you are hiring a coach now, you better believe he can bring you to the promise land....if thats the truth, then you have to be willing to pay him.....or you're getting another Muschamp.

 

everybody is saying this.  that UF can get whoever they want because they can outbid anybody.  It's just not true.

 

Hiring a good coach does not mean you have to pay him max money before he actually proves he can make it work.  How much did they give Meyer at first?  Was it top five coach money?

 

It's not as easy as people think to get well-established coach, because it's that much more difficult to pry them away from their current team.  UF, like they have in the past, will end up with a guy who is looking for an upgrade from their current situation.  He wont be proven like Spurrier or Harbaugh, but a guy who has big potential and COULD BE the next great coach.  That doesn't require Saban money.
