Well, if you want an offensive splash, there is no bigger hire than Chip Kelly. No one even comes close.

Him recruiting Florida would be pretty spectacular. Can you put out a feeler?

Which never-going-to-happen scenario is more likely to happen: Chip Kelly coming or Nick Saban being lured away for $25 Million?

As far as the buyout goes, if you held a "Buyout Rally" in the Swamp at $100 per ticket, I'm more than certain we would fill the stadium and spill out into the surrounding streets.

For the Chip-Kelly-is-never-going-to-come-here crowd, why not? The fool is just sitting on his couch with potato chip crumbs on his chin and the front of his shirt. He could do a hell of a lot worse than UF.

My main concern about Kelly is that he doesn't want ANY college job again. I think he might take an assistant job in the NFL before he came back to college. Still, it's worth a shot.

Ive never been a big fan of his, but we could (and have) certainly do worse.

You know, half the battle with getting a quality guy is timing. Maybe for once, just once, we get lucky.

There is no buyout if the coach steps down for "health" reasons...

Oh don't get me wrong Ox, look back at my history and you'll see I've advocated going after Kelly too. I just don't think it'll happen for various reasons. I would be thrilled if it did.

We're laughing. That could become the big "out" here. Then we'll cheer and promote 2222 to on-staff rules advisor.

We finally land our guy. Bob Stoops comes home. Not that I'm saying he would be the best, but it couldn't hurt.

Bob Stoops is free now, too! Let's have a super staff with Saban, Stoops, Kelly, Gruden, and Ox.
