I don't think you get it. That exact story you shared was already shared in this exact thread. A few other sites have posted articles only linking to Forde's article. The only source on this rumor is Forde's article. You can't corroborate one source with the same source.

You know things have went off the rails when sasquatch is the voice of reason.

I don't claim to be as in touch with what's going on in Gainesville as most of you ****ers, but why is this so hard for so many of you to understand? The reason we haven't announced Kelly as our coach is because no one ever names their new coach before the season ends. It's the way things are done. The deal is done, their just waiting til season ends to announce it for multiple reasons, but mainly to keep us in the limelight a little longer. We need all that we can get after the past 7 years. It's over with, quit worrying about it and drink a beer and enjoy it. It's about to get fun again.

It’s clear that we swung and missed. Florida wouldn’t hide it if he signed. You can create all the imaginative story lines you want for it, but there was no reason for them to hide it if it was a success.

I still like the idea of Kelly, but I’ve said it before that I want someone who wants UF. You all should want that. We know what it entails, and I want a coach to look at it and say “F- yeah I’ll do that!” I’ve been on the frost train from the start. I’m still on the frost train. That’s the dude I envision to be my coach. Not some fat slob who doesn’t give two ****s about the program or it’s people.
Bingo!!!

Of course it's played out, and it's going to continue to be. But no one is forcing anyone to hang out on message boards and rehash it.
You know what you’re right. I’m reading a bunch of peoples opinions and gossip. That’s it. Not forced into it at all. I’m doing it to myself. But the truth is he’s not our coach. And not you, or anyone else knows why.

Ox, it's clear to me you know something you're not telling us because this is the most optimistic I have ever seen you. Dare I say future pumper?
The opposite is true also. All the Butterpumpers are praying we don't land a great coach who immediately fixes the recruiting and the team.

I guess they are just so invested in us deserving to suck another decade, because 0-10-1.

If I had to label myself, I would say I was a pumper but finally jumped off the sinking ship during the UT game. Although I could tell Mac wasn't getting it done I felt like he was going to turn it around. Truth be told I'm glad I was wrong cause we're about to land Chip Mother F*cken Kelly....

Call me a pumper but I want nothing more than for UF Football to be back on top sooner rather than later.

I don't know either but I bet if the contract was signed we would not be waiting for tradition. We would announce to get our class on board and to perhaps attract some other recruits earlier. Just my take, basically worth what you paid for it.

I see. We're waiting to announce until Sunday to follow protocol.

I want Kelly as much as the rest of you, but you're going to have to do a better job of selling me on the idea that the coast is absolutely clear.

Kelly's career in the NFL has nothing to do with college football. His college football system is proven.

... So, nothing has nothing to do with blindly eliminating your team's most productive players. Plus, what other vitals will he ignore, blindly believing in his supreme method. His wins at Oregon were with a NFL-caliber QB at the helm, heavily relying on the option. I can see that working against "out-west" defenses but wary of success against SEC defenses, wary being the operative word..

When is that true or any system

We will need to recruit? When is that not true?

Point being many here think he's coming down from the mountain top with the tablets....

I'm saying we need to be able to pivot the roster quickly to get the expected success. Very doable in time.

Nothing will convince you until SS announces it so log out and wait until you read it in the newspaper.

What NFL caliber QB? Darron Thomas? Jeremiah Masoli? He didn't have Mariota until his final year.
