I have a question... How on God's green earth is Mac coaching one of the premier programs in college football, while Chip Kelly sits at home? That seems almost criminal.
UF's prior AD did not view UF as one of the premier programs in college football. You can see from his three football hires, Zook, a DC, Muschamp a UAL DC and McElwain, an ex-UAL OC that he viewed the prior successes of UF, under Graves, Spurrier, and even limited successes under Dickey as somehow illegitimate or maybe even offensive. Heck since Meyer was presented to him as a fait accompli, he may have felt Meyer's success was somehow illegitimate too.
So he went on this DC/UAL connection hiring binge, because he had no respect for UF football, its past and what it is. Thus we have a fan base chaffing under a style of play that does not fit UF football and as such has zero chance of success here. Until the stink of UAL and Saban is removed from this program, it is highly unlikely in my view that the program will have much success.
And you are right, Kelly, while not perfect, would be a step towards returning UF football to what UF fans demand.
