How could it not impact you negatively if Mullen is fired for whatever reason after a few seasons? The salary isn't as crazy/detrimental as the buyout, imo. You would be paying New Coach, Mullen, McElwain, and Muschamp.

I don't think he's gonna do poorly, but with that type of money comes high expectations. Hopefully he delivers or they're going to be paying 3 ex-coach's buyouts in a few years.

I don't understand what Mullen is thinking. Why got to FL for only another $1.75 million? Mullen was making $4.25 million at State. (What's the cost of living in fricking Starkville, MS?) The fans loved him and he could have stayed there forever by consistently winning 8 or 9 games a season and winning in the double digits semi-occasionally. That shite gets you fired at Florida and in the meantime, you've got fans and boosters a mile up your arse until they do fire you. Which, if the past is any indication, won't be very long from now.

Maybe he wins a National Championship he was unlikely to ever win at State. Maybe he's always planned to retire at age 50, so he was only going to coach a few more years anyway. The guy looked like he had Kirk Frerentz like job security at MSU. But unless he's the second coming of Steve Spurrier, he's going to be gone from FL in a few years.
