Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[GatorShea]

So we now have official word that Kelly has said no to the Gators? Verified by Colin Cowherd and Pat Forde? Yeah, those are two well connected insiders.

Think I'll wait for a little more reliable source before ranting and raving about how Kelly led us on a wild-goose chase.

I agree with this. If I am UF, I ask him to make some official statement and give him a deadline. If that passes then you know he has to look elsewhere.

 

[Dunder]

It should have been obvious to everyone that if a contract was signed Kelly would not have met with UCLA. You don't sign a contract and then go interview for another job.

But... but... but... the “insiders” said it was. Could we finally put to rest that these idiots behind a paywall are insiders just because they say they are???

If true, It sounds like SS and UF went after one of the best, if not the best, coaches available with a full-court press but still came with short. Assuming they didn’t make some “lowball” offer, I don’t see anything wrong with this approach. 90% of you, including me, would have been upset if they didn’t make the effort and put everything into it. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, blah blah blah. Someone wrote earlier that “you can’t make someone marry you“, if it wasn’t a good fit for Kelly then so be it and it’s better that he isn’t here looking for the next opportunity. If anyone is seriously criticizing UF on this, outside of a lowball offer that we don’t know about, I don’t get it. Following the rumors is fun, but they are only rumors. Who’s next on the list?

Kinda like going club hoppin and asking a girl out at every club. Someone's gotta say yes...

We tried for the Kate Upton but may end up with Miranda Kerr.

Ox, whats your source saying today?

My source says Scott Frost is alive and well. Go the f*ck get him, Strick.

 

[oxrageous]

We got some posters on here that have a future at CNN. It’d be fun to name names, but this unfortunately is bad for all of us. And to be honest, everyone knows who they are anyway.

Go ahead and name names. Let's hear it.

 

[Gator by the Sea]

Disappointing not to get Kelly. Unless Stoops comes out of retirement (which he isn’t) we need to get Frost or we’re doomed to another 3+ years of awful football.

 

[GatorShea]

ESPN just said that we will be meeting with Frost's officials this weekend if a deal with Kelly doesn't come to fruition.

 

[Jbossgator8]

WE have ALL been BABIKED by CK!!

 

[oxrageous]

Ox, whats your source saying today?

Last I heard my source said it was 50/50 and we should know one way or the other by Sunday.

You guys are funny. EVERYONE is speculating, yet you'll believe one thing and not another. If you are assuming all the pro-Chip reports are false, why would you suddenly take the Forde report as gospel?

We'll find what happens we just have to wait.

 

[gatormandan]

Its obvious only the people involved in the actual hiring knows anything.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

We got some posters on here that would rather be right than get Kelly. It’d be fun to name names, but this unfortunately is bad for all of us. And to be honest, everyone knows who they are anyway.

I greatly disagree, with the right assistants even I could improve our program.

 

[Slevin]

Until we know all the facts, including the possibility that Kelly misled or lied, it's all conjecture. But I do agree that the scenario laid out would not shine favorably on us.

Let's gather all the facts first.

Don’t need to know the facts. You have to be a complete pvssy to go to the Past-12 to coach the UCLA Ruins over UF. Zero elite in his body

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Go ahead and name names. Let's hear it.

well I could say you Ox, but you clearly stated you got your info from a connected source so I’ll let that one slide.

However the posters helicopter d*cking their junk in anyone’s face that dared question the validity of the “done deal” statement include donk an 812 for starters. But I still like them though.

 

[Chompin James]

I think deep down all along I PREFERRED Scott Frost. But Kelly was the big name plus the fact that he scares our rivals more. And I didn’t think we had a chance at Frost. But I think if you asked me 3 weeks ago if we could hire anyone not named Saban, I’d have said Frost

 

[ChiefGator]

The biggest problem I have with all of this are the number of days this has dragged out.

Why? We agreed not to talk to any currently coaching individuals until the season is over. I bet we were talking with their agents. Only time will tell, hopefully about a week.

Hey, Slev, let's let the announcement happen before we draw that conclusion. But, yes, I do have suspicions that we were dicked around. It smells of it.

Durty thinks fox is the beacon of legit news reporting and has the alex jones discography on his Christmas list

touched a nerve eh? Once again, you’re wrong. I’m pretty bummed about the turn of events. But am I also laughing a little bit at clowns like you who piss on your own shoes while convincing yourself there’s a rain storm overhead? Yep, I am.
