In another thread I had the odds, based on conditional probability, of getting screwed (not getting Kelly or Frost) at over 50%. They just went up to 80%.

Editor's note: My estimates are all B.S.

Kelly knew what he wanted, which is why (this is my opinion) he only committed to an oral agreement with Florida. UCLA was in front of him the entire time and his agent played it to the hilt. So now he's gonna be stupidly rich instead of just rich.

That's fine, and you're probably correct. But you don't allow things to get to the point of flying everyone up to his house without knowing you have a solid commitment. Stricklin showed in that one move that this job is too big for him.

We needed, and still need, a complete cleaning out of the UAA and anything related to the old regime. That's what killed us here. Wipe the entire slate clean and start again.

Beg Spurrier for a year or two to buy us time

But I fear the oldie but goldies, Mullen and Strong, get pulled in after ABC is exhausted (Spurrier will never happen; I'm just thinking out loud). I'll take Strong/Gilbert over Mullen if that happens.

I'm out of gas.

No disagreement there. The department continues to have Foley's fingerprints all over it.

This. AD's office is stuffed full of Fooleyites who still thinks its the 1980s.

I am just really disappointed
I just want to get the right person for what needs to be done. Not sure what needs to be done Kelly is the best. That being said, I would not have been upset with him. I like a lot of what I have read about him. I do like the hurry up, dynamic, chess approach to offense.
