Looks like Nebraska is going after Bret Bielema as he has a previous relationship with the current Nebraska AD from his days at Wisconsin.

Bielema responded to that saying he is 'all hog'.

Brett didn't go 'hoggin' when he went wife shopping.

Not sure if this is made-up, but awesome regardless:
@Jeff_McLane
Chip Kelly again on why he wasn't interested in the Florida job: "I don't think our pro offense would work at the college level."

How they worked out the buyout situation:

The renegotiated buyout has CSU receiving $5 million cash and $2 million guaranteed to play at Florida in the future, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. McElwain had a $7.5 million buyout in his contract.

I hope we give CPJ a bigger contract, but also put in a hefty buyout.

Good job by CSU to protect themselves and negotiate a good deal.

On paper it's a heck of a hire. Heck of a hire.

SEC has a habit of humbling fine coaches, but I could see this being awesome for us dwaggie haters

If I were CSU I would've demanded a home game from UF.

 

[floridajacket]

Pretty good negotiation from Foley. Offering a home game didn't cross my mind, but they have to pay that 2 million to some mid-major, regardless. And 7 million is 7 million for CSU.

Agree. Plus he has a history in the SEC and knows the area.

I'm wondering if they hire the coach or AD first.

Tough situation. May be targeting someone in a championship game. Or the Mad Hatter.
