Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[Dunder]

Frost isn’t coming here so we are absolutely screwed now. Just promote Shannon and try again in 2 years.

I sure hope this post isn’t serious. I can name 50 guys I’d rather sign to a 2-3 year contract than Shannon.

WTF????? What does this mean?

Well that’s confusing.

Why would that even enter your mind?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

You’re very good at spin. Are you a career politician?

no, I'm just a dude it's maxed out every logic test I've ever taken.

I think it's smart to cancel the officials even if chip is announced on Sunday. After the game, the recruits will be led around by Nord and Nuss who just got fired. I don't think they'd speak highly of UF, and the recruits can watch them pack up their office (Nord didn't even get to finish coloring 1/2 his books).

You only get 1 official per recruit. Save it when UF can be shown in its best light by Coach Kelly/Frost.

Agreed
The minute FSU is over I want Nord, Nuss and crew out of the building. I bet their offices are already packed. If not I am happy to come up today and expediate the process.

It means he's waiting for HB's update they promised later this morning on Scout and guessing that info will be included. This guy is nothing but a lurker and reposter from message boards like this one..

i think it means a deal was in place on sunday night and DH is giving cred to the tweet as being accurate at the time ("technically could be true...") and chip has been considering other offers since the deal was agreed upon ("even if chip coaches elsewhere...")

I wouldn't promote Shannon. I'd leave him as interim. Maybe you could go high dollar on an OC with the assumption that if it works out he could be promoted.

But if Chip did revoke before our admin finished executing, and I have no reason to believe that, and if we couldn't land Frost, I agree just leave an interim and wait to take a swing at an elite or potentially elite coach next year.

Im not clear on whether Norvell might be on the "we think he will be elite" coaches. None of the rest are.
It would make no sense to hire another Just a Dude w a Pulse coach (all the others listed so far) and have to fire him in 2.5-3 years.

Who is HB?

Stricklin seems like a smart guy. He knows he can't hire a nobody. It'll be Kelly or Frost. If not, that would signal an epic failure.

By the way, I was kidding about banning anyone.

We are FAMILY!!!! Even when we all don't agree.

Hollywood Bob. A longtime insider on the paid side of Scout and most of Heitner's stuff has mirrored what he puts out..

HB=Hollywood Bob ... waste of time

Hasn't really been an insider since Zook left.

What do you mean drying up? If you mean going down, it will and potentially sooner than most believe regardless of how successful or poor we are. When does the secn contract expire?

Another poster said it was drying up. Drying up to me is over a 30% reduction from what it is currently.

I do expect the SEC network contract to be less next time.

Looks like 2025 and it might not go down that much either. I could see them streaming their content through the internet. Who knows what regulation (or lack of such) will effect the future.

Not arguing with you, just answering the question. I will say his sources and Ox's sources seem to have been saying the same thing on Sunday and Heitner seem to on trust him..

We might not get Kelly. We have had a bad run the Last 8 years but it does not discount we are Florida and the right coach can make us gold again.

Yes of course you are correct, but several other schools are in similar situations. I am a Gator but reality is that in football we are not an elite job, there are only a few of them and personal preference is important.

Imagine if Frost stays and creates his legacy, it might happen.

just another quick hitter....UCF/USF is on ABC @ 3:30pm and the game has been sold out for 3 weeks. Charlie Strong -vs- Scott Frost and word on campus (my son goes to UCF) is that representatives from the Big 12 in attendance. The thoughts that the Big 12 could rethink conference expansion seeing two schools in the heart of Florida with a natural rivalry with two high profile coaches playing in front of a packed stadium on a beautiful Florida day on ABC would certainly not hurt their image. Secondly, it was mentioned on the radio down here this morning that UF is the least of UCF's worries when it comes to keeping Scott Frost. OK State, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Tennessee, and UCLA have "supposedly" contacted Scott Frost's agent to gauge interest.

We may not get CK or Frost and the drop off to the others is quite steep and would most likely put us right back here in 3 years in even more desperate shape. It is quite possible the SS made a great move acting on JM early but did not follow up with enough energy to lock in one of the premiere coaches before the other P5 schools came calling. If this is the case, SS will have shown he is more interest in diversion, tweeting, and exhibiting that narcissistic "look, I am in control" character that doomed us with his predecessor. I hope to God I am wrong but SS may have overplayed his "we are Florida" hand and left us to pick for scraps.

Martin was merely conveying a theory, not a report, based on a logical assumption that there could be offset language in the 49ers contract. That's been supported and refuted over the past couple days.

However, Heitner posted this yesterday.



Rovell is an ESPN sports business reporter.

I think there's multiple angles occurring and I don't doubt the heat with which UCLA is pursuing Kelly nor the notion that it's cause for pause. He doesn't decide anything on the whim. He deliberates and deliberates.

Question is, how long can we afford to deliberate with all our eggs in one basket?
