If Kelly or Frost are not hired, hire SOS as an interim
We all love SOS but you have to be crazy to think he has what it takes to be a successful HC at this point.
You will never know if SS messed it up or not. None of us will. There is the possibility that Chip just wants to go to UCLA regardless of what we do or offer. Not always something you can do.

I will say this. If SS misses on Chip then at least he swung for the fences. If he didn’t try there would be people complaining that he didn’t even try.
Absolutely, quite a moral victory. Jolly good show Mr Stricklin!

So, first of all let me thank you for my first DISLIKE. Thought for sure Swamp Ass was going to get that honor. But I digress, it is not a sense of loss, it is a lack of competency in how you handle delicate matters. Again, I deal in high profile employment contracts for a Forbes Top 10 corporation and when we are looking to replace a C-level executive and are looking at other companies who may have talent we are interested in speaking with.....we go to extraordinary length to provide incredible amounts of privacy around our activities. First, on behalf of the party we are interested in speaking with. Second, on behalf of the company we represent so that should we no come to terms with our first effort, the second person of interest is not tainted in the discussion feeling jilted OR empowered to demand more than what they would normally due to the fact that they know we have already be declined. Again, this is not a matter of if he should not have gone after CK, it is a matter of now the whole world knows you failed and you have emboldened and empowered every other person you speak too with a sense of they have the upper hand due to your previous failure.

I give you like when I agree with you a dislike when I don't . It is what it is.

I recognize the need for secrecy in your profession. And I bet SS wishes he had that now. But for heaven's sake, everyone knew ahead of time who our targets were. We knew ahead of time that they were going to take a run at Kelly. And they went to lengths to fly out of Ocala. But you had a media pool trying to scoop anything. And they managed to track his flight.

FFS. I’m now having to put up with UGA fans on my Facebook arguing about how great Mullen would be for us.

We've been trolled by our adversaries before but having our own AD do it is especially ass burning if so.

Still believe in Chip tho

So this thread has gone all over the place. Let me try to get us focused:

Is Chip Kelly going to be our next coach? Love to hear everyone's thoughts

Sounds like they are going back and fourth on keeping some of the assistants, sucks if that's true, kind of a smart idea to let the new coach pick the guys he wants.

On one hand, I can see Chip going to UCLA because familiar conference to him

On the other hand he may want to prove himself in the best conference

On the other hand, UCLA has no history and he can build the program and become a legend there all to himself

On the other hand he can be part of a great program and rebuild a power which is always fun.

On the other hand he gets to live in LA, bright lights, big city, Westwood is nice

On the other hand, money goes further in Florida

On the other hand :suicide:

Urban Meyer 2.0 makes $6.4.

...and he is worth it.
Ohio State has a much greater national recognition than UF at this point in time, so if we want to attract the best candidate we will have to overpay to bring them on board. We are operating from a position of weakness because the last two coaches have **** the bed and the UAA has been using the program as a piggy bank to expand non revenue generating sports.

If Frost/Kelly live up the reputation as the BIG thing and puts the UF program back into the Top 5 every year the extra $3 mill per your in salary will be pocket change to the increased revenue from a thriving football program. Plus given the salary inflation in another two/three years that $6.5 per year may be the standard cost for the coach at a top 20 program. Kirby Smart signed a 6 year deal at UGA two years ago and makes $3.75 per year (plus bonus). Is $6 or $6.5 really that big of a jump.

The UAA needs to grow some damn balls and make an offer that Frost/Kelly can't refuse. **** I'd offer Saben 10-12 mill per year if I thought he would bring us the same success as AL and I can't stand the guy.

To quote David Sterling "Qui audet adipiscitur" (Who Dares Wins).
