Of all the rumors this one sounds really stupid. Scout has knowledge of what was discussed between Meyer and Kelly? What a joke. I bet it didn’t even happen.

Their forum does not not even qualify as a forum. A forum is defined as a place for "open discussion" or exchange of "ideas". None of that happens over there. Discuss and repeat their viewpoint or banished.

I can handle being disagreed with or even made fun of for my opinion, but they can't stand to be disagreed with so they just shut you off.

Happened dozens of times. I wasn't using profanity or abusing folks, I just didn't like foley or Zook or mac, and they couldn't stand it.

It's more like a propaganda machine. Spew the company line or you're out

They are friends. I would be stunned if he didnt.

The reason I'm skeptical of this Meyer story is that, at this stage, I doubt either party would allow something disparaging to be leaked. It's not like someone finding out the two are meeting. It would be a pretty big slight to someone you're currently in negotiations with. It would be like Stricklin getting the wrong vibe from Kelly during talks, or being contacted by someone else that he prefers, and letting that out, damaging Kelly as a candidate for other jobs. I just don't see it. Down the road, there may be stories that come out if things go south. But I'd be shocked at this juncture.

Also, has anyone mentioned the fact that, at best, Meyer would be giving his recollection of the facilities from 7 years ago? The IPF and others changes have either been made, or are underway, and I doubt he'd have any knowledge of it.

To me, the story just seems too obvious. It fits the facilities/Meyer-is-the-devil narrative perfectly, as seen by the reaction. I could see a snag in things and remain somewhat skeptical, but I don't think this is it.

I'm not sure i completely believe the story either but i don't think it necessarily makes Meyer out to be the devil...i do believe those 2 are friends and maybe just giving an honest assessment. I really like my current job and if someone were to ask my honest assessment there would still be plenty that i don't like and think could be improved and would let them know that. The facilities issue is real and just like Shane was just talking about on the radio he thinks they are the worst in the SEC right now and says he has seen them all. Foley not wanting to get in the "arms race" like he said a decade ago has cost this program big time.

I wouldn't doubt that Kelly would contact Meyer about coaching at Florida... why wouldn't you contact one of the most successful coaches in their history to find out what the job is really like. As to what was actually said... I doubt that. It was probably more of a professional courteous call.

Yeah, I'm not necessarily denying the idea of Kelly contacting Meyer. What I'm doubting is that something that sensitive, and with a direct impact on either party, would be allowed to be leaked. Did Stricklin contact Bellotti or Lurie about their opinions of CK? Wouldn't shock me. But would he let it get out that one or both questioned Chip's work ethic? That, I say no.

Do you really think with ongoing negotiations that the AD would come out and admit it? If you're waiting for the AD to make a statement about the search with actual factual information then just wait for when a presser is announced because you are looking in the wrong place.

Are you even a candidate yet? I haven't seen a thread discussing it. You're more likely than Urban coming back and that's been bandied about for a while now. Are you willing to get paid per touchdown? per victory margin and by total wins?
