Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[Daryl]

They can cover Tenn all they want. It doesnt stop this train.

 

[Mim Jacelwain]

I'm just tired if all the game day shows talking about the tennerC job and not ours

That may be a good thing if you think about it.

 

[GatorShea]

I also think about them giving our job little coverage is because they know the opening is likely taken and there isn't much to talk about aside from speculation. This is a good thing, in my opinion.

Self imposed gag order?

I have also been thinking that it's eerily quiet with the national media on the Gators search. Maybe Stricklin's statements about privacy and his Twitter posts have thrown the national media off.

I would love for the new coach to be Frost, Kelly would also a great get. But I'm wondering if Stricklin's got a different surprise up his sleeve.

I hope not.

 

[GatorShea]

I think the plan is Kelly but there are always one or two people that could bungle the plan.

 

[Gatorraid81]

I hope SS is listening and not even considering bringing that guy back. I'd hope he would reach out to Gundy and even Les Miles before he brought Mullen back here.

Not sure that Les Miles brand of offense would go over well here, and I doubt he’d change it, he never did at LSU.

Stricklin strikes me as more tech-savvy than Foley. Foley was old-school. If he had an interest in a guy, he'd hop on an airplane and go see him. That's pretty easy to track.

Stricklin needs only a desk, a phone and a laptop to sleuth his way through the laborious phase of contract negotiation. It's him, the lawyers and the other side. The only chance that info leaks outside the doors of the UAA is through, well, staff leaks.

Ox is working one such leak. It'll be interesting to see if he's able to obtain any updates this weekend or if this thing continues through its quiet phase as the lawyers pour over contract details and continue to negotiate.

Don't give up on the Kelly story. It's not dead by any stretch.

That’s what is scaring people. Lol

He did get an update, they said “soon”

 

[Daryl]

Les Miles will NOT come anywhere near UF. He was fired for his 3 yards n a cloud of dust offense.. I live in LA, all day long on the radio all i heard were fans who wanted him out for the past 4-5 years.

Soon to this ADD board is the next 20 minutes. I gotta feeling by definition of the source that soon could be up to 72 hours, maybe longer.

 

[NCOGator]

Willing to bet all my Oxbucks that is we lose today, our coach will be named

 

[Pablos Tunnel]

My belief is that SS and the Admin thought this was a business as usual hire. When they got interest from CK they probably just started putting the money together. Same old same old. Then from what I have read Chip had a "Come to Jesus" conversation with SS and President Fuchs. Basically setting in the reality that UF has lost its prestige in football and furthermore your facilities are shyt. If you want to be a showcase program competing for championships, like we had at Oregan or how Alabama is built, then you got to stop talking and start doing. He laid it all out, a grand plan. It was so far off their radar screen that it blew their minds. So now here we are playing catch up. I still thinks its Kelly but only if we guarantee the pieces to complete Chips vision. Them pieces take time to put together.

Go Gators!!!

I don't expect it to be done this weekend.

Geez, they’ll be plenty of fans hoping we lose then.

Agree. They won’t announce until Monday at the earliest

I don’t expect it to get done this month.

 

[MJMGator]

I could see Sunday, but they would never announce anything on game day.
