Wow they got a great deal. I think it’s a win-win. He gets to rehab his career and they get a solid coach.

Solid coach?  You know we're not supposed to romanticize our experiences with prior coaches.

For 750k that’s as solid as it gets

Yep, just like Lane Kiffen did.  "And" he inherits a pretty good team (have no idea what they are losing from this team).

It should be a fun trip down to Boca Raton this year with the story lines.  I haven't been there since they played in that old High School stadium.  I know their OCS is supposed to be pretty nice.  Smallish but nice.

The FAU on-campus stadium is very nice. It seats about 32,000. I went to three games two years ago when] I was a math tutor for FAU football players. The team was lucky to draw 15,000 for a home game. I expect  more than half of the crowd at the USF-FAU game on September 26 to be wearing green and gold!

It’s like buying from the week old bread aisle...on so many levels...

Willie's going to be making a fifth of his FSU salary.

Actually for the next 4 years....he will be making 85% of his FSU salary.

I still find it hard to believe that FAU and UCF have on-campus stadiums and we don't! FAU is also building a football training facility right next to their football stadium.
