That's exactly how this coaching search has felt so far.
Last night we were the red guy, had a hand on the winning steps of the Chip Kelly sweepstakes only to slip and come crashing back to reality this morning.

Uhhh no. I don't remember anyone "having" Frost to us, if you mean projecting it as an agreement in principle or whatever.

Praying that whoever we get as HBC gets us more than one of these every two years.

Can you point to one time that a coach was named as a permanent head coach for a major university football team in which they were announced prior to the end of the regular season? I can't for the life of me think of it happening.

Are you sh!tting me with this? I've read thru all 168 pages so far. I ain't going back thru them. Damn you for even suggesting that.
OK, well maybe when I get a little bored later....

If we don't cash in on the Chip Kelly sweepstakes. I have a bad feeling going forward with Recruits... SS has to close the deal.

From people that are well trusted and don’t screw arond.
Florida flew up with 100% certainty this was getting signed. They had contract in hand. News broke about UCLA while in the air.
Florida wasn’t there very long. You can speculate Chip changed his mind, or they signed and it’s done. I don’t see how Florida wouldn’t be royally pissed and headed towards option two if kelly said he now wants to think about it. It’s not a job you think about. And that’s how it should be treated. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.
From everything I can tell from piecing everything gator guys have said and yes, pay attention to the paid members of Florida media aside from those dickhead losers at the Gainesville Sun, and not the national media who have zero connection to Florida, says it’s signed and done.
Why Florida would want to wait and drive the entire fan base crazy is beyond me. Do they feel like it might distract from a very very important FSU game? No. Not inmy opinion. It might actually make the underclassmen play even harder knowing big dick Kelly is walking into the building.
Take everything for what it’s worth, but I can’t for the life of me believe he wants to be at UCLA.
I do want to add on, I read all of this via non pay sites (Reddit, twitter, Facebook, texts from friends, etc) but the info seems to all head back to goldkamp. I think that dude is great and I wouldn’t want to NOT say he didn’t say it first.
I’ve said it a million times they don’t mess around with bs. I liked being over there because they were super real with their members.

” tweets that went out this weekend... If they’re not panicking, it might be a good sign.

THIS^^^
Announcing before FSU and having a bunch of recruits there watching the game would whip them into a frenzy. This could be set up in a way as not to cut the legs out from underneath Shannon. Coaches are auditioning as well as players. Respect Shannon, but DANG IT! Do not soft play the future in reference to the (immediate) past.

I can't for the life of me believe that he didn't already know that the UCLA job wasn't going to be open...one of the worst kept secrets in NCAA history. There is 0 chance he didn't know so them firing Mora likely changes nothing.
