Issue with Kiffen is he is another known coach recruiting Fl hard. How many big teams does OH or Pa have :)

If Kelly ends up at UF he's going to be the reason we are dragged into the modern era of college football in terms of facilities and program management. He could end up being a Charley Pell type in terms of contributions to the infrastructure of the program. Kelley might go down as one of the greatest. Right guy, right time for a paradigm shift in our football fortunes. Stricklin needs to get it done!
Pell had Dave Thomas. Stricklin needs to find his Phil Knight. This would be over now.
Isn't Kelly on ESPN2? We need to keep our eyes and ears peeled because at some point today someone's going to ask him re the Florida job. His response could provide some clue as to where this is at.
Sensitive to the negotiations I am sure he has a pre-arrangement with his buddies at the mothership Do Not Bring This Up.

I think it's a done deal and with that SS and CK can announce the news at the most optimal time. Most likely out of respect for Shannon and the Gators

Meyer was asked re his intentions when he was on the set of ESPN. It's not as if it's some broad unspoken truth that you don't. And if Kelly doesn't, then you go to the program director and ask if there is an agreement in place not to talk.

Sports reporting is no different than any other line of work. The more you dig, the more you get.

Am I the only one who is not exactly thrilled with the possibility of Chip Kelly being hired? I don’t know why, I just don’t have a good feeling about it.
:backout:
He's clearly the "home run hire" of this cycle, but that does not mean there are not legitimate concerns around him. How long will he stick around? Will he put in the effort in recruiting? Will he be successful in the SEC? I feel like he's the surest bet out there right now, but those who believe its all reward with zero risk and that he's going to be winning the national championship in year 2 are just kidding themselves. The difference between him and say Frost or Norvell is that he sustained success at a bigtime program for more than just a season, so his resume suggests he knows what it takes to be successful.

Maybe. Maybe CK Is going to throw a bone to ESPN and allow them to break the news.

Im tired of hearing out of respect for this guy or that guy.. You dont hold off on a home run hire announcement due to someones feelings when youre program is floundering. He may be a great guy, ok cool. but he's also a professional and understands this is a business.

Ppl are on tv saying UF better watch out today against UAB... U A B. Are you friggan kidding me? We've fallen this far and we're worried about ppl's feelings when we have a program defining hire right at our fingertips?? GET IT DONE!

Before or after Corral flips to Bama??
Very little likelihood that Coral sees himself fitting in any of the option offenses being mentioned for our next HC, Kelly, Frost, Norvel, Mullins, Strong, Taggart, any of them.

You'll be in a purgatory of watching chumps and butters offenses for an eternity.....

Stay alive and fight for change

We live in America and under the constitution we have rights!!!! Rights against cruel and unusual punishment is something we all must fight for.
