Florida coach Jim McElwain on buyout speculation: 'We'll see'

I think they’re fine example.
IMO winning doesn’t define a program. It is a symptom of a program.

Is Larry Coker a great coach?
Is Gene Chizik?
Is Dan Mullen?
Is Gary Pinkel?
Is Gary Anderson?

I would imagine you also don’t think winning is the sole measuring stick of a program.
My broader point is, if people at the university think he isn’t the right guy, they should make a move ASAP.

IF you aren’t sure maybe you wait. They seem pretty sure of themselves.

I agree.

Tim Brewster won while he was here with two bowl games in first two years.
1 and 6 in year three and the plug was pulled. Rumors were out very early that year that the plug was going to get pulled on Brewster and as soon as he hit loss #6, he was out. But it appears people around the program realized it wasn't the right guy, but had to kind of wait it out before they could can Tim.

After Tim was fired, many people were surprised because back then it was unusual to fire coaches during the season.
Even as Kirk Ferentz.

Brewster went 1-11 his first year. He did not go to two bowl games his first two years. He was fired in year 4.

Crap.
You're right.

My mistake.

Hope you enjoyed the Kirk Ferentz link nevertheless.
