In Mr. Spavitals case, however, he is an SEC coordinator with no ties to Florida. All of his ties are to Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri. He is making $486,000 with bonuses that could push his compensation into the $3.5 million range over the life of his current contract. You are paying GOL, what? $1.2 million in total compensation, iirc. That's probably fifth or sixth in the conference. Former TU offensive coordinator Chad Morris made that at Clemson as an OC. SMU had to double it and offer him a chance to move him, his wife, and his family back to their ancestral home where he was one of the most respected high school football coaches of the last 50 years. Tuberville makes an obscene amount of money, like $3.2 million. UCF doesnt have that type of cash and they won't get someone like Spavital by offering money he could leverage as a coordinator and expect him to move into a recruiting area where he has no ties. And if he decides he wants to leave Texas A & M over money, those idiots will match the dollar amount quick I am sure. I'm surprised anyone on this board would actually want someone who was a graduate assistant five years ago. I know you want to win, but that is crazy. Lots of people wanted Spavital to come back to Tulsa where he played high school football. TU wouldn't even think about it. Don't be surprised if he joins the staff of another former Tulsa Union QB and Bill Blankenship protege, Justin Fuente, when Fuente makes a jump into the SEC or Big 12.
