Having a "long-term" interim HC will destroy recruiting. Committing, playing for UF will become a joke. We've got to make even a guess on a real HC and go from there. Jeez, we made a foolish guess on McElwain and he was able to get this last top recruiting class.?
With the Gator-public creating the certainty that Chip Kelly is so far above other HCs, if we miss on Kelly how many disappointed 2018 recruits will sign with a more stable school. Or, as an even bigger backfire, Kelly signs elsewhere and many of our recruits go with Kelly, whom they were taught by us is by far the greatest coach out there??
I wish we had let this HC-search unfold at the quiet pace, Stricklin's pace, culminating in the last week of Nov. Our fan-PR should have evenly praised several possible HCs, so any of those leaders could be touted to recruits with full confidence and pride, once he was selected. Now, won't we be seen as bogus trying to talk up the non-Kelly choice?
