Sources: UF & Chip Kelly working on contract details

[78]

Maybe Stricklin is his own man. I do know this, not in a million years would Foley have approached Kelly. He'd have struck and high and mighty principled pose over the idea. We're better than that, who's available in the Mountain West?

i'm, not convinced the dude either just doesn't know football or drunk off his ass constantly.

he does the DUMBEST shyt, like --perhaps 80%-- running same plays (screen, inside run/draw, screen/crossing route).

and he REGULARLY does stuff that actually hurts the offense, like running a draw on a down when they are expecting a run or running playaction on 3rd and long when everyone knows you aren't running.

He is the biggest obstacle to our offense. Not talent. Not QB. Not OL. Him.

i noticed last night that Fooley's backup plan if McElstain fell through was Hudspeth at LaLa. He was 6-6 last year and is 4-4 this year.

he always had the magic of finding the bargain.

anyone have any questions about why the conferences didn't hire him as a conf pres?

Re: Nuss ... and players practicing what they know won't work must be demoralizing.

Man, if we were to hire Kelly, it would send shock waves through the SEC. The country for that matter.

Yeah there is no way Foley would have even considered him which is exactly why i am glad he is gone. I've wanted Kelly here for years...I think that offense with the talent in this state could be freaking insane.

Just please bring a solid DC with you, Chip, and we'll go places.

I'd find it admirable if he wanted to be the guy to help propel UCF into a big conference.

I'd find that admirable any year the UF or Nebraska job isn't on the table. That's just plain dumb

Who knows, maybe that means Nebraska would keep their current HC one more year. With contact through various back channels, it’s possible Frost let Nebraska know his game plan and they’re willing to wait another season to land him. My understanding is that Frost & Tom Osborne are pretty close.

 

[AugustaGator]

He's opening an Applebee's franchise?

No. That there will be no announcement today.

 

[78]

Frost has made a woefully incorrect calculation if he's declined Florida in order to stay at UCF to try and build something. The synergy and opportunity in Gainesville make way too much sense.

I gotta see this all to believe it. I still think Frost is the guy.

 

[SC Gator]

I’m going to wait and see how this plays out before making my prediction

 

[78]

Huge upgrade either way, but Frost is much younger and you could reasonably expect him to be around longer. Kelly? He's got Meyer written all over him.

Such a dweeby looking dude, esp with glasses.

And all the stuff about recruiting is stupid. Look at Alabama for instance.

Saban does not personally recruit everybody. His staff does. And he has monsters on his staf

The reason Alabama is not running away with the recruiting title this year is because both Cristobal and Kirby are gone.

You forgot briefcases of money, vehicles, and relocating families of committed recruits

This gets super interesting about Kelly around 42 mins. Says Kelly is it.

Link doesn't work for me.. what does it say?

not to be "Debbie Downer" but did Chip have any real college success without Scott Frost as his O/C? Honest question, not sarcasm. My concern is that we get a guy who was "the face" of the program but not "the brains" of the program. Like when Mullen left and Addazio came in. Urban was still the HC but the program really was hitting on all cylinders like it was with Mullen. More important than the HC is the OC/DC as far as I am concerned. I would prefer Frost over Kelly simply because I have seen him be successful @ both HC/OC and know that he can be both the brains and the face of the program. Again, not poo-pooing a Kelly hire. Just really wonder what we would be getting. Make sense??

Chip was the OC at Oregon for a few seasons under Belotti before he became HC.

Kelly is younger than Saban was when he was hired at bama. How's that working out?
