After “allegedly” not trying to pull together money to buy out his contract, the university administration is now apparently trying to fire him with cause (and with no buyout) by alleging that he is lying about receiving death threats. Don’t know what is going on down there, but I’ve never seen a coach win two division titles and then just overnight have folks trying to run him out of town midseason. Just a complete disaster.

And one more thing, McElwain is an SEC head football coach, so by default there is a 135% chance that he has received death threats. No idea what Stricklin and his numb nuts crew are thinking on this one.

Those “sources” headlines at the bottom of the ESPN scroll are pretty eye opening.

I've got to think Florida wants a higher profile coach than Mullen. Somebody who can compete with Kirby Smart. I wonder what their fan base would think about that hire.

This has been a hard year for SEC coaches. Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ole Miss, A$M, may all be looking for new coaches at the end of the year.

Congrats Strick, you wanted a higher profile job, well this is what you get. Enjoy it a-hole.

I don't think Dan will leave for any other SEC school, but if he does, he deserves everything that happens to him.

I'm so glad we don't have Strickin as our AD. He has no balls. You either fire a coach or don't. You don't leak stuff to the media while you're riding the fence.

I think he's leaking this to try to pressure McElwain into taking a reduced buyout. If I'm McElwain, I tell him no way. Good luck proving I lied.

Exactly. No way they can prove anything that happened in a phone conversation unless they bugged his phone.

The big question is why did they ever even remotely decide they should fire him to begin with? Dude has done nothing but win division titles before this year and all the sudden they want him gone MIDSEASON after a 3-3 start? Its absurd.

I assume it's because of the 10 (or more?) players caught up in the felony debit card scam scandal?

Maybe they could run a naked, stranded great white hidden camera scheme that blows this wide open. Play a little Barry White, light some candles, and let the shark sex happen. Boom...it's over.

No, it actually has nothing to do with that. They are trying to say he lied about getting death threats and that is literally the whole thing they are using for the “with cause” justification. At least that is what is being reported.

He's effectively Assistant AD in charge of everything Foley hates doing. Namely marketing and fundraising.

Foley is still boss.

Stricklin wants this to be a stop that puts him on the career path to Birmingham.

Exactly. Oh, he runs the athletic dept on a day to day basis and makes the routine decisions. But you can bet his decision on McElwain is going to be just what Foley tells him it's going to be.

Just as was the case here with Rick Ray / Howland, Stricklin has very little say in this one. Its the boosters and Foley pulling all the strings if they are being pulled.

There will be no coaches 'poached' from one SEC school to another.....now, just as with Nutt, if an SEC coach is not coaching at the time, that's different.

I think the shark picture could be part of this deal as well.

Pretty bold by the Florida fans to skip right to death threats without even throwing a warning brick through his window.

I cannot remember an SEC head football coach being hired directly by another SEC school and that goes back a long way. I seem to remember the conference has an informal rule against that happening.

Watching SEC Now. Chizik looks like he’s having PTSD talking about it.

If Gruden wants a college job, he is waiting for Saban to retire because it will be ready made with talent. Then it will take him a year or two to dismantle it like he did at Tampa.

I wonder how much Gruden gets paid by Corona? He'll have to give up that paycheck going to college.
