if kelly said he now wants to think about it. It’s not a job you think about.
Massive applause. If he did not sign...I do not want him here.

It was leaked he would be the coach about a week before that game. As I recall he actually bailed on his ESPN assignment the weekend of the Michigan game and was announced a couple days later.No...OSU played michigan Nov 26 and Meyer accepted the job Nov 28 2011
Point being he wasn't announced before the end of the season much like Kelly won't beIt was leaked he would be the coach about a week before that game. As I recall he actually bailed on his ESPN assignment the weekend of the Michigan game and was announced a couple days later.
Yeah agree, when they don't let you bet the other side or bet on any other destination, UF obviously, so the odds are pretty arbitrary. I read it like you, they are pretty sure he ain't going so every dollar they take in is gravy.Yeah, there is always some risk anytime you offer a line, but clearly the small risk with offering this stupid line at such a low payout is one well worth taking from the house's perspective. You know if you could get a corresponding line for him NOT to coach ucla at something like -130, it would be absolutely pounded into oblivion. This is a one sided sucker line with minimal risk to the house, as they know chip kelly is probably ours.
Can you point to one time that a coach was named as a permanent head coach for a major university football team in which they were announced prior to the end of the regular season? I can't for the life of me think of it happening.
Typically I would agree, but Kelly has been out of the coaching ranks for a bit and he may need some time to consider leaving a cush job at ESPN for the pressure cooker environment that is coaching at a program like UF.Massive applause. If he did not sign...I do not want him here.
Why didn't OSU announce Meyer then? They aren't going to do that until this season is over...wish it were different and they would just announce it today but they aren't going to do that to the staff and teamWell it usually doesn't happen because the coach being hired is most, if not all the time currently coaching another team. Kelly is not, so there is no reason to delay.
#NCAAF line move alert: Chip Kelly is now at EVEN to land the UCLA head-coaching job after opening with +125 odds.
Hey Genius - Bottom line is CK is favorite to be coach at UCLA. That doesn't look good for UF
I actually have a close source to this. He worked out and accepted the deal in the spring. It was done within a week or two after Tressel resigned. This is a legit source who’s still close to the Meyers. They are also a personal friend of mine, not an acquaintance.No...OSU played michigan Nov 26 and Meyer accepted the job Nov 28 2011
and yet they waited until Nov 28 (2 days after the last regular season game) to announce it...I actually have a close source to this. He worked out and accepted the deal in the spring.

That's what I was thinking earlier... Think they went up to NH thinking they were going to get CK on the cheap.... If so bad ideaI think by now it's clear our boys went up to NH looking to make a big play at a big prize, but they swung and missed because they brought this to bargain with:
