The information I gave you guys was 100% genuine, straight from the mouth of someone in the UAA. The fact that they were hoping to announce Kelly today is 100% true. Assuming it doesn't happen, then the contract situation is still being worked out.

We are running out of time for recruiting purposes and Stricklin damn well knows every day counts.

So, who would be next in line if this falls through? ( Not that I think it will but if it wasn't a done deal shouldn't they be looking elsewhere as well ) Are they even looking at anyone else right now?... Trying to get my bearings in this insanity...

Just curious, is this the same guy who told you Hugh Freeze last time and Bob Stoops the time before?

And all it takes for you guys to get triggered and start foaming at the mouth is for someone to mention his name. Someone could say Foley has been threatening to kill Scott Stricklin's dog with a meat grinder if he hires Chip Kelly and I swear half of you would believe it.

He made a couple bad football hires while he built the best athletic program in the country. Get over it.

You wouldn't give me credit for anything no matter what I did, so debating with you is pointless. If you think all of this is made up, then so be it.

If Kelly isn't named the coach, your whining and b!tching will hold more water. However, everyone is hung up over the time of a press conference. There's no question Kelly's people have been in town negotiating this, it will be announced whenever it is ready. It's obvious there were more hangups in the negotiations than expected.

He built one of the best.....there are plenty of great athletic programs out there, and UF is among them.

The thing about the southern athletic departments/programs is they play a limited number of sports. Go look at the northern and west coast programs: men's soccer, wrestling, sailing, men's volleyball, men's lacrosse, beach volleyball, woman's field hockey, water polo, fencing, sprint football, equestrian, rowing, squash, men's gymnastics, synchronized swimming....

I don't think any reasonable UF fan thinks Foley did a bad job....outside of football. But you can't argue he made three TERRIBLE hires in football and HE let the facilities issue get out of hand (his words, his actions).

Pretty sure football won three national championships while he was AD (although one was SOS, whom he didn't hire). And basketball won two. And softball won a couple. And the baseball coach he hired just snagged one. I could keep listing the wins off if you'd like, but I know all I'd get back is "durrrrr but football is the only sport that matters herpderp."

I already said I believe Kelly is our guy, but that was broken AFTER your guy said he WASN'T our guy. So no, I'm not just hung up on press conference times, I'm hung up on the majority of the bullsh*t we've been fed all week being completely wrong.

Everyone throws this Hugh Freeze thing at me. The report that came from me was that Hugh Freeze was the #1 TARGET back when Mac was hired - not that he was hired. He WAS the #1 target - that was 100% true. He made it clear early through his agent that he wasn't leaving Ole Miss.

Unless this board is cleaned up, decent people will not stay here. It’s getting worse each day. If it is left like it is, it will limit it’s growth potential.
are we thinking this is like the upside down world in that Vidflix show?
