Colin Cowherd on Florida

[GatorSkin]

There is really no reason for Kelly to come to Florida. He's doing great in the NFL, the top level of coaching, and he's getting paid a boat load of money. The only reason he might "listen" is to see if we are willing to make him the highest paid coach in college football. We couldn't offer a penny less than 7 million/ year and have him take us seriously, and it would probably take 7.5+ to even make it a possibility, IMO.

Not that I think he would leave Philthy for Florida but he makes 6.5 million a year now I don't think it would take 7.5 if he was actually intrested in returning to college ball.

If you're making 6.5 Million already, which is far greater than just about every coach in college football, why would you leave for a piddly $500,000? I mean really, we are talking a 7.7% raise to work A LOT more. Plus, as he continues to be successful, his 6.5 Million dollar contract per year will likely get renegotiated, especially if he finds his way into and wins the super bowl.

As much as I'd really like to see Chip Kelly coach at Florida, it's wishful thinking at best. It's not going to happen.

Chip Kelly is seeing this speculation and thinking.....

 

[Alagator]

Finebaum is better than Mike and Mike.

Yeah, if you wanna listen to him pumping Alabama for three straight hours...in his ever classic monotone, uninspiring voice. I swear every time he talks for more than 30 seconds, I start to fall asleep at the wheel.

If we're talking about best radio people on ESPN, SVP is #1 and it's a landslide.

Actually that's one of the things I remember Spurrier saying he didn't like about the NFL. The longer season and longer hours. His implication was definitely that he had to work harder in the NFL than in college. No time for golf, I suppose.

SVP is the only good show on ESPN

Yeah he's not coming here regardless unless he just hates the NFL wich is doubtful. It won't be about money.

I don't see how there is much longer hours per day let's say, but the longer season yes, but the offseason in the NFL is really more of an offseason. College coaches are working year round as recruiting is non stop. There is seemingly far more travel in college than in the NFL, and I'm sure all those hours driving and/or flying aren't really considered "working hours".
Not that either job wouldn't be stressful on it's own merits but I'd have to think there is more work in total on the year for a college coach than an NFL coach.

NFL coaches only get about a month off, compared to college coaches who get several months off. Because of the NCAA instituted dead periods for college football, there is a lot more dead time in College.

The difference between Saban going to Bama and Kelly coming here is that Saban was failing hardcore in the NFL. Kelly isn't.

Yet. It's extremely rare for anything to last long in the NFL.

I keep hearing that Florida has a lot of talent. What is that based on? Recruiting rankings? That can be the only thing since it doesn't appear UF is talented on the field. UF does seem to have an unusually high number of highly rated players that don't pan out. Of the ficve stars on the team, only Hargreaves has lived up to the billing. And even Hargreaves hasn't had a good year. He was UF's best tackler last year. In the Missouri game he was as bad as everyone else at missing tackles. D. J. Humpries? Can anyone give a reason why he's still starting. I could go on, but don't you have to have some evidence that UF is talented before saying it is? The biggest example is how the first thing said about Jeff Driskel is that he was "talented." Why? Did he ever do anything on the field to merit that adjective? Muschamp kept saying UF was a "very good" football team without any data to show it to be true. Let's stop saying UF is "talented" until we actually see evidence on the field. That way, unreasonable expectations, like thinking a 4-8 team was going to be good the next year, will not happen. Maybe UF is very talented and just needs a new coach, that could be true. But it's not a given. What is really galling is seeing someone like Travis Rudolph at FSU look great instantly,well not instantly, he didn't catch a pass in the first three games, while a guy like Demarcus Robinson is almost as likely to drop the ball as catch it.

I'd put the percentages of Chip Kelly to Florida at about 5% right now. However, I'd put Bob Stoops to Florida at about 55%. Twitter is still buzzing about Stoops-Florida.

I seriously doubt it. I'd love to have stoops and their may be a chance but not a 55 percent chance

Never heard of Travis Rudolph. Clearly I don't pay attention to FSU as much as you. They play in the ACC, it's unwatchable. Who gives a **** what Travis Rudolph does? Get lost.
