    Florida targeted former Colorado State head coach Jim McElwain early and landed him after negotiations over his buyout finally were able to be worked out. McElwain’s Ram’s rank 13th in total offense. Seems like a very solid hire.

    To settle the dispute over McElwain’s $7.5 million buyout, Florida agreed to pay $3 million over six years to Colorado State and also agreed to a future game — with a $2 million guarantee — in Gainesville sometime between the 2017 and 2020 seasons, sources told ESPN’s Brett McMurphy.

    In addition, McElwain has agreed to pay $2 million to Colorado State over time, sources told McMurphy.

    The $5 million being paid from Florida to Colorado State marks the largest school-to-school buyout ever.
