Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[78]

For every zig.

Wednesday, Nov. 22 — Day 24
8:33 p.m.: In speaking with industry experts, including two high-powered agents not intimately involved in this particular search but aware of the negotiations, OnlyGators.comhas been told that it was believed that Chip Kelly was on his way to Florida as recent as early Wednesday. And while some are starting to think otherwise after UCLA’s pitch and insertion into the process, most still hold that belief. Kelly’s greatest hesitation at this time is believed to be the pressure that comes along with coaching and recruiting in the SEC compared to that of the Pac-12, a conference he has already dominated and that is of great familiarity to him. More than anything else, it is believed that Kelly is “just playing the game” at this time, which lends to the below report that he is looking to extract more from the Gators, whether that is decision-making power, money, etc.

There's a zag.

Just a reminder:

He had a 3 hour flight to think about how he wanted to look .& act getting off the plane. Think about it

I'd guess that Tinerc is probably the worst job in the SEC.

They have less bluechip recruits in their state than Kintucky even, and have to play Bammer twice likely to win a championship ever.

Tough sell, even if they put 102,000 teeth in the stadium on some Saturdays.

With the right coach Rocky Flop can easily pull in top 10 classes every year, hell Bytch had two top 5 classes while he was there he was just such a shi**y coach that he couldn't do anything with the talent he had.

Yeah, it all seems revisionist to fit a narrative. I don't ever recall UCLA being mentioned re Meyer.

I think Ox should ban anyone who advocates for Kiffin or Mullen....

FWIW, all-time stats.

Florida 20th at 714-414 (.628), UCLA 36th at 594-418 (.584)

In the all-important "importance" column:

National titles -- Florida 3, UCLA zippo

Edit: Supposedly the Bruins shared the title in 1954 with Ohio State

UCLA won a title in '54.

UCLA won a title in '54.

Already edited that in. They shared it with Ohio State. Obviously explains Meyer's conflictedness.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

I see the false confidence and bravado is still in full effect

Someone PM me when you have a link to some actual info :)

 

[Swamp Donkey]

UCLA won a title in '54.

He meant in the last 50 years.

UCLA won a big bowl game once too, Orange Bowl in the early 80s.

Powerhouse program. I imagine with the right coach the could challenge for best team in their county in a state that cares less about football than about tofu.

Did he, really? Said "all time" at the top of his post and edited to add the title.
