A new coach changes everything. Hell look at Georgia and Miami this year! We need a spark and Kelly could be dynamite to this team. I have the same feelings when Urban was coming here. I just knew we were back!

Maybe we do get it Kelly. Not out of the realm of possibility. I hope we do get him. But i just don't believe its done and hes signed.

Hell yeah I’ll take that! Meyer was 6 years and it was spectacular!

Meyer could have kept the change on the 5 years and I'd feel the same way about it being spectacular.

How many solid reports (not pure speculation) have came out about UF targeting other coaches?
How many solid reports of Chip Kelly actually meeting with other schools?

Before the meeting with Kelly we had crazy ass people hiding in the bushes at airports and UF couldn't do anything without leaks.

Since then either they've miraculously locked down any leaks or they aren't looking around and neither is Kelly.

Some of y'all need to calm down and just wait. Stop reading every report filled with nothing of substance you can find.

There aren’t any other candidates that they could fly to because the season isn’t over.

Before the Kelly talks started there was reports we had reached out to Frost's agent. Haven't been any reports like that this week.
We can and absolutely would be reaching out to other agents. Theirs gonna be a lot of very attractive jobs open we're not just gonna sit around and wait.

Buddy Martin mentioned that when we fired Zook we also told recruits to hold off until next coach was on campus.

Reality sucks doesn't it. He'll whiff on Kelly, let Frost slip away, and settle for Cousin Eddie.

Only Gators latest:

uesday, Nov. 21 — Day 23
9:52 p.m.: LandryFootball.com reports that Chip Kelly’s agent met with UCLA on Sunday, the same day Florida flew to New Hampshire to meet with Kelly himself. It also notes that Kelly’s meeting on Tuesday with two senior athletic department officials and the Bruins’ heaviest donor “went well” The discussion with the Bruins appears to have centered around donor commitment and Kelly potentially having the necessary funding to build the program he wants from multiple standpoints.

Chomp: Kelly’s agent meeting with UCLA on Sunday certainly debunks prior reports that the sides had no legitimate contact at that time. If this report is accurate and Kelly’s primary concern regarding UCLA was its financial commitment, there is a case to be made that he may actually favor the Bruins with that being his lone reservation. UCLA bringing out the big guns in Casey Wasserman, the founder of the former megapower management company Wasserman Media Group, is a massive revelation. If Wassterman promises Kelly to give him whatever he needs to win — such as Nike founder Phil Knight did for him at Oregon — Kelly-to-UCLA may be more real than anyone believed 24 hours ago.
