- A call has been made to Chip Kelly's agent as he is the only candidate out there who may disrupt the Stoops eventuality.
- Barring from a stunner from Kelly, Stoops is the guy. Foley first contacted him after the Mizzou loss to gauge interest. At that time, Stoops and/or his reps made it known the interest was mutual.
- If the money works out (it will) Stoops will named the coach well before the bowl game.
- The really intriguing part is that Spurrier is aware that all of this going down, which explains his reactions after the game Saturday. As you know, Spurrier and Stoops are tight and Stoops surely spoke with Spurrier over the last few weeks.
- Moreover on Spurrier, he is planning to retire after the season and wants to be involved at UF in a mentor role, or certainly a support role for Stoops, Foley, etc. NOT a coaching role. Spurrier loves UF as much as you and me and is ready to see us back on top.
- Also, and this keeps coming up, but there's something cooking with Chizik, certainly not as head coach but an assistant. I've seen his name several times as being mentioned as part of a possible Stoops staff. T Rob and Lawing also likely retained.
​- While Treon was a nice story and a lifeline for Muschamp for a few weeks, and while Treon still has a future at UF as a skill player, Stoops is keenly aware already that Will Grier is the future at QB.

Squatch I honestly don't remember a single time in 2010 it was claimed Bob Stoops took the job.Captain Sasquatch;n108068 said:I'll believe it when the ink is dry on the contract. If insiders were to be taken at face value four years ago, we'd be in Year 4 of the Stoops Era.
