I am always amused by how all the principals in these search scenarios are so "chatty". They tell the intimate details to everyone....former players, boosters, parking lot attendants, hairdressers, etc. I am glad they are not in charge of national security secrets.

For example, how many people within his circle of acquaintances is Scott Frost going to talk with about his interest in another coaching job? There is likely a grain of truth (or more) in some of these rumors. Others are without foundation. The truth is out there somewhere but most likely not known by the landscape architect of a Bull Gator.

I will say it makes for fascinating reading.
A lot of times it's agents leaking info to either get interest for their clients or raises...that's why you can only trust very little because the people involved in the search aren't going to talk to people that would be unnamed sources to the media...unless it's for diversion.

FWIW: “He’s working me. Maybe to be a LB’s coach at UCLA. Maybe Florida.” Jonathan Vilma talking Chip Kelly on Russillo Show.

Spurrier says we have our guy, and that he's coaching currently and might be coaching up til the bowl game

https://florida.247sports.com/Bolt/...-on-Florida-Gators-coaching-search--110246433

The way I read this is he has an idea who it might be, but things are not 100% finalized.

“Scott Stricklin, our AD, he’s well-connected around the country, and I really believe we’ll have an excellent coach hopefully here in 3-4 weeks, who knows," said Spurrier. "The coach is with his team now. The coach we’re going to hire is probably I would almost 100 percent say is coaching his team today, this weekend and through the end of the season and maybe through the bowl game.”

Sorry I dont buy what SOS said as a fact...there is no way that he nor would Stricklin let him go out and say that when it points to Frost that clear.

Also, SOS the other day on the radio said the OC Kevin Wilson could be a candidate. Like Strick said, take everything with a grain of salt

Like I said a this point we cant rule anyone but Stoops out for the job.

Idk. Spurrier has always said what spurrier wanted to say.

This came off as restrained for him, like he was trying not to say too much.

SOS has but this is a different animal than just making comments about a rival, etc...

Like I said it also goes against what Strick said about hearing things and also "coach his bowl", that would go against what Strick would want in a guy coming in and salvaging early signing period.

We will see what comes of this but I won't put much faith in what SOS said due to other reasons

It seems pretty clear someone has at least talked to Kelly's agent. Kind of strange with Spurrier's comments however but I doubt Kelly ends up here.
