No chance. The timing of this says that we panicked at the “news” today out of LA. We slow played this to not hurt feelings.

Buy the rumor, sell the fact. We botched it.

And because the focus immediately went to us vs UCLA, they couldn’t even casually arrange this meeting. So rather than being told discretely that he prefers another job, it’s now public knowledge that we got turned down.
You're taking this very hard. If he doesn't end up here it could be something as simple as the weather. He's a portly fellow that has never spent a summer in Florida. Or it could just be geography. If you have real money you can't really compare living in Gainesville vs Brentwood or Malibu. In other words even if he ended up at UCLA it doesn't prove ss blew it.

However I remain in the group that believes he's ours.
You're awfully confident and using more emojis than words lately. What do you know Swonkster? Spill the oats.

Why do people think the normal Monday AM presser is going to be anything about a new coach? It is just the normal post game Monday presser for the coach, who is Randy Shannon right now. I dont think it is a big deal it was moved up 30 minutes.

Agreed. Also, if Kelly or his reps are meeting with UCLA, you'd have to think it won't happen at 8:00am Pacific time. Enough time for them to say "thanks, no thanks we choose Florida." Then Florida has the presser.

Hmm! This is the best the Gainesville Sun has to offer.

I don’t know if Kelly will be announced today, but if the UAA flew up to see him I would hope they had a verbal agreement in place and were going to sign the contract in person. They don’t have to bring anything back except a signed contract.

If they went up there without a verbal then I am concerned with how Stricklin is operating

I know it's not the right salary range but it gives you an idea of the difference

In fairness, they fired their coach just recently and put CK on the table. We've been reusing an old thread under new titles for months to help it grow length, and we've built up enough steam to add 50-100 replies every 12 hrs.

Months? This thread just started like a week ago.

Edit: actually 5 days ago.
