[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 912567, member: 630"] Billy Napier was hired at UF last year at $7.1 million. He has a guaranteed budget for staff of $6.35 million that can go to $7.5 million. $13.45 million minimum-- Without advisor or other staff salaries. The budgets at Georgie and Bama are higher. How do we spend $9 million for the Collins buyout plus $1.5 million for assistants buyouts, then come up with another $10-13 million (each year) to compete? Then there is NIL money. Dream all you want, but we just don't have the money to play in this high stakes game. We have to catch lightning in a bottle, and the odds are low, and the cost high. Criticize Lewis all you want, but he was Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year before we hired him. Criticize Collins all you want, but he had taken a team to a bowl game in his prior 2 years as HC, and before that as an assistant at UF and MSU was nominated for the Broyles award as top assistant. So throw out all the names you want, but the odds of success playing a schedule that is in the top 25 in difficulty as we have the last 4 years are low. Maybe fans are right and I am wrong---a .500 FBS coach like Johnson is as good as we can expect. The alternative is to position ourselves with a schedule like Wake Forest has, which means no Georgia and no Clemson every year--but then we don't sell tickets. We are between a rock and a hard place. A new coach is very unlikely to solve the problem. I'd spend the money on NIL, but as someone else said, we always seem to be behind the 8 ball. [/QUOTE]
