No argument there. Did you listen to Travis' take? It's worth your time, bro, to understand how Kelly ticks.
No man, it's not worth my time.

If something changes, I will.worry about it then. The two sources have been solid so far.

Again, it's about tangibles and intangibles. Some of the people here are so influenced by their O&B glasses that they refuse to acknowledge it. I hope we get the guy, but I'm not counting chickens after yesterday.
Understood, but all the tangibles point to UF being winner. If Chip ultimately chooses UCLA, maybe he isn't ready to be in SEC limelight and we can move on.

I'm not sure why exactly, but this search and the hysteria involved, has created an odd rift between some of us. I get that this deal is likely not done, and possibly won't be at all. But I'm not sure why anyone's optimism or excitement is being bashed here. Comparing the situation to the vols and Gruden? Really? There's literally nothing but speculation there. If nothing else, returning empty handed or not, the fact that we flew to NH yesterday validates that we're in serious discussions with Kelly. That's nothing like the tenn/JG situation, and it's ridiculous to imply that it is. Same with the "watching planes, how embarrassing" talk. I love the fact that we have fans passionate enough to go out of there way to look for clues. We're supposedly a passionate fan base that cares deeply about the football program. With modern day technology, that's par for the course.

Again, not sure why some are taking certain indications that we may be getting Kelly so hard.

Mac, that you? :lol:

How does Travis know how Kelly thinks? Kelly could very well pick UCLA, but I'm not sure that anyone outside of a small group of his closest friends and associates know what he values most in a program/job.

Okay, then that settles it. Florida won championships in 2006 and 2008, UCLA didn't. Florida's in the SEC, UCLA's in the woeful Pac 12. Florida has more money to offer than UCLA.

Not a chance in hell Kelly talks to UCLA.

The uaa plane that landed in Ocala without Kelly? Well later went to Jacksonville and then back to Gainesville.
That’s because they were going to pick up Brian Jenkins, current football coach of the University of North Floria Ospreys and announce him as our new head coach today! His experience in the ultra competitive Atlantic Sun Conferernce will allow him to make a seamless transition to the SEC. Foley found him on Wikipedia and realized that since the Osprey’s inaugural season was 2016, we could probably swoop in (no pun intended) and get an up an coming coach for a steal!

How does anyone know anything? They do their homework. You obviously haven't done yours.

No, i’m Saying go EABOD. You are fighting this so hard that it sounds like you have people asking you to squash the positive rumors and create doubt. You sound like Pat Dooley.

Man, I understand it's a message board, but alcoholica seriously gets mean sometimes. It's not a good color, dude.

78 is just cautious. A lot of us are. If we get Kelly, we'll all EABOD. Ok, maybe not that. But at least we'll be doing cartwheels like that recruit.

So 75 minutes out from the presser, and the only real dissenters right now are the spineless shills Dooley and Andreu, right? It seems like the sites reporting that Kelly is meeting with UCLA are operating off the tweet that Andreu backpedaled from faster than Deion Sanders.

The Robbie Andreu backtrack indicates that he may be acting at the behest of the UAA. Common sense dictates:

  1. UAA tells Andreu to put out misinformation tweet about Kelly not signing the deal so that UAA can announce on its own timeframe.
  2. Andreu puts out tweet and improvises on UCLA interest
  3. UAA sees tweet and think it makes UF look bad bc of possible UCLA interest by a UF HC candidate.
  4. UAA tells Andreu - "hey backtrack that post a little"
  5. Andreu tweets "retraction" of earlier post.
I think someone suggested this last night

If he's a true competitor (which is one of the qualities we need) then he will go with us and the SEC. Hands down.
If he doesn't really want the competition and expectations, he'll go with UCLA. Hands down.
