Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[Swamp Donkey]

You're confusing me. The facilities are on Foley's dime.

Right. And the rest of the Athletic Department. All of Foley's folks are still there. They all need to be flushed. (Regardless of whether or not this contract included an "out clause" or whatever.)

Can anyone explain why Kelly would meet with UCLA if he signed on Sunday?

Okay, buddy, I get it. You're frustrated. Me, too. I think we all need a group hug.

No, man. That has always been my position. Check the archives if you wish.

If you don't think UCF can and would pay SF $5-6M a year to stay, you are fooling yourself. UCF's attendance is 64,000+ students and each one pays a "fee" each semester that goes toward athletic programs, facilities, and coaches. The AD @ UCF was formally the AD of DUKE University and he knows how to grow and manage a D1 program.

you realize that Frost himself is having to chip back into the fund to keep the assistants decently paid right?

UCF does have a total student attendance somewhere in the ballpark of what you stated, however there is a fair number of them that never step foot onto that main campus in east Orlando. UCF is not just a football school, and the "fee" you speak of likely goes to loads of other sports of which they are pretty good at.


As long as UCF stays in the AAC, no, they don't have the ability to jump his pay to 5-6 million a year....if they could spend that kind of money, they would have done it already

Don't know if you watched the whole thing live but he didn't look anything like a guy who just got left at the alter. More like the cat that ate the canary.

Yeah, that occurred to me as well. All the accounts were that the talks went really well. Add to that the possibility that we created an out in the contract. I'm not sure our people know how to read Kelly. He's a strange cat.

@Law ---> Maybe you can chime in here with your legal expertise. Am I to understand that when Chip signed the contract last Sunday he used the rare, but crafty legal maneuver of having his fingers crossed behind his back?

I hope like hell that Kelly makes it to UF, because I think he is a great coach, who can win championships here. But, if he chooses UCLA, he is a pu$$y. Period.

 

[78]

No, man. That has always been my position. Check the archives if you wish.

Feel free to repost all your disparaging posts on Stricklin.

No, I meant that the whole AD should have been swept clean.

Stricklin is the AD. Feel free to clarify if you feel he needs to be fired.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

There’s a reason we didn’t make a run at Belichik or Saban.

Besides being out of our $$price$$ range, is it because of their relationship to Satan's cock?

Do not sell UCF short. Building some meaningful alums. The aerospace industry is loaded with them and a TON of wealthy kids are going, have been for a while, because UF wanted elite out of state and foreign kids for the higher tuition. Our academic recruiting has been counter to building a sports oriented community at UF the last ten years.

Yeah, yeah. I can say with confidence that Swonkey has always been in favor of group hugs.

OK, man. The Athletic Department needed to be swept clean when Fooley was fired. Thought it was pretty clear from the context.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Yeah, they are like the next Boise State. Whateva.

 

[Jaguar45]

So is there a no crap decision date set? Or is it still the vague “next couple of days” timeline?

So Mike Hill and Lynda Tealer f*cked this up but Stricklin didn't. Okay.

You either believe Stricklin is autonomous or you don't. Stop dancing around the question.

Hey '78, get back on this side of the pitch fork!

You drinking yet?
