People need to take a damn breath! ;)
Until SS or CK say there isn’t a deal, I’m not concerned with this taking 10 days or whatever. Hell, I’ve been working back and forth on Ts & Cs for a possible contract for the last 4 weeks on a proposal that doesn’t involve a staff and facilities... people are acting like this is calling a guy named Chip to put in a new driveway on the house! This isn’t like Stoops last time we went through this and he was leveraging for his own deal and facilities, it seems to be with a guy into details so he doesn’t get screwed and those are the people you want to do business with... breeeaaathe... Mac is gone and Dan ain’t gonna manage our driveway project.

Ts and Cs? :ohboy:

I don't see how Kelly or any decent coach would move forward without guarantees in writing given the history of poor pay for assistants and lack of funding for upgrades.
You may be right. But, if so, we may not be able to move forward at all. If Foley left us so untrustworthy that these things have to be in writing, then there is no basis for a relationship. That means two things. (1) that Foley left us as badly off as is being claimed, and (2) hiring Strong, or someone else who trusts us, makes sense.

What about Mike Gundy??? He would show up to the press conference in a sleeveless shirt flip flops and jorts. Don’t forget that bad ars mullet! He fits the culture

Im not advocating kiffy over Chip..... but if Kelly is a fail to fire then get kiffy. He's as arrogant and cocky as our beloved SOS was at a young age- minus the heisman of course.

Plus he's wired into these kids culture.
I know I'm pissing up a rope and it will never happen with UFs AAU. But that's what we need- brash, bold, confident and connected to today's culture

I have taken the stance that I am not losing any sleep over this ordeal. Our football program, though I love my team, is in such a shambles that it is not worth getting all worked into a frenzy. With that said, I am on record as saying I am not a Kelly guy, but I certainly understand the strong feeling for him and would get the hire. And I am also on record as saying if Cousin Eddie becomes the coach at UF that I will NOT attend a football game until Cousin Eddie is no longer the coach. I will still love the Gators but I refuse to attend a game if Cousin Eddie is working for UF!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked what was up with the announcement. Is it a done deal or what?

The response: "Soon."
Well that certainly narrows it down! :lol:

Take a deep breath, guys. Our primary goal is still in play.
