Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[Egor's Assistant]

Suicide pact! I'm in. Texting from my Tesla.

Dude, if you have a Tesla, there's no need for suicide.

 

[YLGator]

I've negotiated hundreds of contracts in my day and have never signed a non-binding one. Nor have I ever help up a needle moving contract over minimal, irrelevant points. Acquiesce and get it signed!

If we lose CK over this, then yes Crunch, SS is incompetent.

I told everyone this about Shannon this morning and everyone wrote it off

 

[Blacklabgator]

If Kelly or Frost are not hired, hire SOS as an interim

Yeah. He lit it up his last few years at SC

 

[PaterLacerta]

Kelly ought to hire his own staff. Of course I suspect this story is drive-by SWAG.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

my point is....if you are going to go swing for the fences....fine, do it....more power to ya....that's what I want them to do. BUT, do it in a way that if you strike the hell out, you don't make the school look bad. You don't get caught because if you do, then everyone else knows they were your second, third, fourth....hell we may have to go off the board at this point to get a coach. I love the effort. The execution was flawed.

We tried to be stealth. Damn internet stalkers were posting our every move. Heck, it was a middle-of-the-night, same-day return flight. How much more stealth can you get? I guess, the player's tweets didn't help keep a lid on it either.

Aside from him being a bit odd, why is mike leach not in the conversation?

a "bit" odd? Brother, that guy is the de facto definition of odd...I mean on his own planet odd.

 

[T REX]

Non-binding agreement? WTF? If we don't get Chip there's gonna be some questions for Strick.

He's sitting in a real tesla coil ready to turn the electricity on.... Hold on till Sunday we will help.

Randy Shannon holding up the deal.

More proof that this is going to help Miami more than we realize.

 

[OcalaGator83]

I am just amazed to learn that Chip Kelly is the only good football coach in America. Why can somebody like Alabama go hire an NFL coach but UF is apparently in the fight of its life for some dumpster dive coaches?

 

[AvgJoe]

Kelly ought to hire his own staff. Of course I suspect this story is drive-by SWAG.

Well to be fair.... his staff could cost a lot....so while he's getting side money from the NFL you would at least like to know what buyouts you are expecting for this staff that is to resurrect the program, right?

 

[GatorSkin]

Suicide pact! I'm in. Texting from my Tesla.

I was just trying to help the guy out. You can be in all you want but count me out. I'm in the 1% of the board that's still not freaking out over nothing.

 

[KronoGator]

Not buying the Shannon bull, sounds totally made up.

 

[5-Star Finger]

If we lose CK over this, then yes Crunch, SS is incompetent.

I'm telling you, there is more going on here than SS. This reeks of Foley interference. I don't think you can waive off the rumors that he was against this hire. This hire is the anti-Foley. Can anyone think of another time a coach was hired and strong armed into keeping existing staff? That's a legitimate question. I can't think of ever hearing this - and that has to be coming from someone high up in the administration. Is it just the President himself - or does he have Foley in his ear?

UCLA opening up wasn't something expected at that time.... good for them to pull the trigger and throw a turd in our party punch bowl

 

[Scott512]

If they don't get Chip Kelly or Scott Frost it will feel like a let down.

 

[PaterLacerta]

Revise and amend. They shouldn’t be dictating who to retain. My concern is that he thinks a PAC 10 D is going to work in the SEC. In that event, his career will be nasty, brutish and short.

He is in the autistic spectrum for sure.... highest functioning level

 

[YLGator]

If this Shannon non-sense is true, we should just fold up our tent and be content to win swim meets from now on.
