From what I've read elsewhere from some very knowledgeable and respected people this thing is done...I would not be shocked 1 bit if Dooley and Andreau are putting out exactly what the UAA wants them to put out. That being said i also would not be shocked if it doesn't get announced until after fsu out of respect for the current staff. Though they did move the Shannon press conference up a half hour so who knows they may announce something today
If the deal is done, they need to announce it for a couple of reasons:

1. The coaching search is a much bigger distraction than a new coach being named
2. It's one of our bigger recruiting weekends of the season and having the new HC is ideal

I’m seeing contradicting tweets and backpedaling tweets, followed by several posts here that indicate fans are assuming every freakin tweet is the gospel truth... including preemptive “SS is screwing up the deal” posts to prepare for the onslaught that will follow if CK doesn’t sign.

1. We don’t truly know the facts behind what’s really taken place so far. I have no clue if SS is a genius or if he’s bumbling through this. Neither do any of you, regardless of what the son of a lawyer or other “reliable source” says to a friend of a friend of an old college roommate.

2. If foley were still the AD, CK would NEVER have gotten the phone call. Period.

3. If SS didn’t take the time to vet CK and we ended up on probation in 5 years, y’all would freak out that SS rushed the hiring process.

If CK doesn’t sign, at least give SS some credit for showing some to go after a big name and doing it the right way, to the best of his ability.

You are on a message board where you can’t have fun unless your hair’s on fire.

Just in case you aren't already aware, Robby Andreau backpedalled in a subsequent tweet.



Also, check out John Ivorys Twitter page. Lots more stuff there.

This could simply be a random act of journalism by Robbie. If he didn't have a source that said Chip expressed the desire to talk to UCLA then he shouldn't have said definitively that he wanted to.

Any questions?

Two of those pics are the same girl. I’m just fine with our Gator girls.

Agreed...but even if they announce it Kelly might not be around until after this weekend...obviously we have no idea how this is going to go but there could be a lot of reasons why this could last past this weekend even with a signed deal. Stricklin has been in contact with recruits and they can ease their mind through this upcoming visit weekend knowing Kelly is going to hit the ground running right after that.

Probably. But it’s not like they’re in on it. A major newspaper wouldn’t blatantly lie. It’s just another example of them not knowing shyt but pretending like do.

We never believe anything that comes out of their pieholes - so why start now?

No Chip yet according to a report on the plane coming to Ocala. I did wonder why not fly into Gville, perhaps the leased plane is not in Gville. A fairly large and diverse group was on the plane including the decision makers. No Foley which will make many happy.

Either there is not yet a contract or Kelly is not ready to travel to Gville, perhaps both.

I don't see any need to actually tour UF, our facilities are well known and you do have Google Earth, it works pretty well.

Time will tell.

I had a very bad idea, how about we just hire Chip and Frost to be co HBC's. That would make many angry, and probably neither would like it but it is amusing to think of what say UT fans might say or do.
Andreu looks like a clown walking back that tweet.

And he didn't before? How any of these guys at the Sun can look at themselves in the mirror is beyond me. I think Kelly is still on the plane in a sleeping bag, waiting for the presser. :)

No it's probably more like Stricklin knows those idiots will run with exactly what he tells them instead of actually doing any work through sources

Fuk our current staff and this whole paying respect to them nonsense. Nord and Nuss should receive zero, not one iota of respect. Hire the new guy and let him wave at those two chit coaches from his new office. This staff rolled out one of the worst coached, worst prepared, physically and mentally teams in UF history.

The Cessna that they flew up on only holds six. Six were on that plane. There was never any intention of Kelly returning with them on the plane. It doesn’t mean anything other than that, but the fact is that he couldn’t have came back.

Nobody has time for logistical facts around here
