I don't know what Meyer could provide to Kelly that would be damaging. There is no one in the administration in a decision making position other than Foley and he'd in the background now. He's been gone now for 8 years.

With reports he may want to hire the OSU co OC as OC maybe he called to discuss permission to hire him.

One more thought. The original facility was planned for a postage stamp parcel of land north of the track. Just make it bigger and take over part of the track. Then move the track to when the baseball stadium is cleared. Hell they can run track at Buchholz HS in the mean time.

Well here's my take....There's been alot of smoke on the Kelly hiring if it is true. One thing we have not seen at all.....A Chip Kelly statement denying that he is not interested or not talking. Its been all week and not a peep. So maybe this is happening.

They call it the silly season for a reason. Coaching searches are stressful but exciting for fans, searching for every morsel of information they can find.

Hope often clouds the day and rumors lead to broad assumptions and sometimes, what appears to be more than just a rumor is just mistaken identity.

Enter the Florida Gators and the Chip Kelly watch in Gainesville.

An article by The Gator Chomp Blog reported that Chip Kelly’s agent, David Dunn had potentially arrived in Gainesville abroad Florida’s University Athletics Association plane on Wednesday evening.

The report was based on a now-pulled YouTube Video of a man getting off the plane who resembled Dunn.

According to Andy Staples, however, the man thought to be Dunn was none other than the pilot of Florida’s plane, Scott Bedner.

Hate to burst the bubble, but that’s Scott Bedner. He pilots Florida’s plane for a living. https://twitter.com/gatorchompblog/status/930971251983527936 …

The silly season has indeed fully-arrived for the Florida Gators.

The video sure seems to show the individual leave with the group that flew. The 2nd vantage point shows him again. Sure doesn't seem like it's the pilot.

Isn't the plan already approved (knocked down the baseball stadium....move the new bb stadium out near the lacrosse stadium....and build the FF on the old bb stadium)? Unless Kelly has A LOT of pull, I doubt they change the plans. Like you said, construction timelines are difficult.

@incarceratedbob: @JessicaAtwel Only update for today.
Contract is written k=just bunch of language on both ends need to be ironed out.

1) Chip wants less speaking engagements than some Boosters are comfortable with.

2) Chip wants to make sure "Legendary" coaches can't stick beak in with on the field stuff.

Boosters are being consulted? Spurrier's being asked to STFU? :lol:

Yeah, I am sure the pilot did get off the plane, that doesn't mean that Kelly's agent didn't get off as well.

So you want to piss on the best track and field program, winner of five times more national championships than football, so football can have a bigger indoor

The same track program that already gave up its indoor facility to fit more fat ass Bull Gators in the ODome? The same track and field team that has one five times more national championships than football?

He ain't talkin' about Butters, Zook, or Muschamp!
I know, why did it say coaches? Urban Meyer is a friend of his and would not stick his beak in. He could have said Legendary Coach or said Steve Spurrier.
