Just gonna throw this out there. If we happen to miss on our top 2 targets, and settle for a real second tier guy(Strong, Mullen, Taggart), while in the process, losing at minimum our best recruit and hopeful savior QB...you could make a valid argument that unless our move at mid season saved us a legit 6-8 million, we may have been better served giving JM another season.

This is in no way an endorsement of the clown we just fired. But just to keep Corrall and the others in the mix, it may have been worth it because I’m not sure those second tier guys are better by enough to lock ourselves into another 3-4 years of stagnant play. Either way we’re screwed.

I strongly disagree. Even Mullen, Taggart, and Strong are much better, and way more attractive hires than McLnuts. He was the worst. IMO way worse than Zook.

Not disagreeing that they are better. But are they enough of a step up to justify this? Sucking is sucking. But again, just throwing it out there. I may just be going insane from all of this.

Your coach doesn’t give you an opportunity to fire him for cause every day.

Id take Norvell in that case.

That’s why I included the savings. If it’s a large amount, great. If we pod anything close to sticker, that’s where I question things.

I agree with Augusta, My take is that the contract terms were agreed to in principal by all, before this last trip. Fuchs went to eyeball Chip and ask him to explain the NCAA sanctions and get his side of the story. Assuming he got the answers he wanted and assuming he was comfortable with Kelly's demeanor we should have a deal. The" fly in the ointment" is the UCLA job and does Kelly want to pursue it.

There is no fly and there is no ointment.

Honestly... at least for me it’s a conversation that isn’t really worth entertaining at the moment. Maybe we can circle back to it at a later date if need be? Put that fire out when it catches... Cross that bridge when you come to it kind of thing. Bc UF will put their best foot forward for both. And it’s obvious who the best two candidates are. I whole heartedly believe we’re getting one of them.

Lesser of two evils, so to speak.

I get it especially when you have a decent class lined up
