Oh, the insanity doesn’t stop there. If you read the comments they claim that Riley originally wanted to come to UF then changed his mind at the last minute and chose USC.
Also, what would be the purpose? “Hey, I know you guys are thinking of firing me and you’re gonna have to pay me a huge buyout. But please, don’t. Let me continue to embarrass myself on the field, and get the exact same buyout at the end of the season when you’re gonna fire me anyway.”“I have heard the same sentiment from several other booster. One, believed the call would be made as early as this past Monday (thinks Napier used a lifeline).”
lol - used a lifeline - why is this a the game show???
I don't think they get a certified guy.
Love how they think Napier is not playing the supposedly more talented and better underclassmen just because. Never occurs them that those players aren't playing because they have not beat out the guys ahead of them. I personally would start Lagway over Mertz just because Mertz sucks.
Don't forget they have to buyout Riley, Lane, etc. and their staffs current contracts and in the case of Riley USC basically gave him a $9M home as part of his deal. Not sure all of the homes in Gainesville are worth $9M.

The meltdown when they inevitably whiff on all their top tier targets and end up scroungin through the bargain bin for a coach without any proven success will be glorious.

They’d move Lincoln and his family into their on campus basketball arena in exchange then he can host recruits in his own house like Mario…
Looks like a minimum $60 million to get it done, plus both are going to want guaranteed commitments to invest in the program/NIL like Mario did and 10 year contracts. There’s no chance they’ll do it BUT with the recent coaching “success” they’ve had it’s what they should do.My friend, you have missed a step.
$26M to payout Napier.
Likely $20M to $30M to buyout Kiffin/Riley from EXISTING contracts.
$10M salary for Kiffin/Riley.
Plus staff.
Plus NIL.
I believe I have posts from last year that quantified the cost of moving on from Slingblade Billy at greater than $50 million OVER what they are already overpaying for currently.
You forgot the buyouts for his 75+ assistant coaches
