I completely understand the frustration, but the problem is there are only so many "top/hot coaches available." So Kelly and Frost aren't interested in UF, then Stricklin and company are in a tough spot. Because after you get past Kelly/Frost, there would appear to be a huge drop off in the splash that hiring another coach will make. It doesn't help that UF's apparent attempt to hire Kelly became public knowledge and appears to have come up short.

Hopefully Stricklin can find a way to hire Frost, otherwise it's hard to see the fan base being 100% behind any potential hire.

I think Norvell has an upside. Not the Kelly upside for sure but still his offense is fun. Frost is a young SOS to me. I like his connects.... to the players, recruits, and today's game. He seems like he could handle the big time "fish bowl" atmosphere in the SEC.

That’s assuming that the report is accurate, well-sourced and legit. He isn’t doing anything publicly
You dont photographed getting on and off the plane and looking like a moron.

Totally fvkked this up. I dont mean by potentially not reeling in Chip.for whatever reason, but making us look like laughingstocks while doing it.

That ticks me off more than anything. They should be canned for being dumb enough to put the President on that flight without the deal truly being done.

Ok, these shotgun kneel downs I am not a big fan of. Then again, I do like the idea of kneeling at the end of the game for a change
Well you have to understand, it is mathematically impossible to fumble during a victory formation, so there is no concern over a center to qb exchange regardless.... or so Ive been told.

We swung for the fences and missed apparently.... is that so bad? In the past we swung and missed like Dave kingman, all shyttey pitches. At least this time we got a good pitch but missed.

I don't think we look as bad as you say.
We missed, it happens. What we do next will determine our perception.

Fvkk yeah it is bad. You swing for the fences on the telephone. You pack up the whole damn office and fly their with your hat in your hand.

We look like fools getting publicly embarrassed.

I think that the president is his boss, it is very possible he decided to go on that flight for whatever reason or reasons we don't current know.

This!!! If he ends up choosing UCLA, the optics of us taking the UF Prez and crew to NH, while it appears that ,or is being reported CK went to LA to get their pitch, wreaks of desperation, or just amateur hour, without it being a done deal

The only people calling us failures in this search are some people on the message boards that are frustrated fans.

Honestly what were your expectations when his name was initially in the mix?
Mine were pretty low but increased throughout the process.

We pressed and he withdrew. It happens. I don't think sending in the troops was the right move at the time but we did for some reason. It didn't work and we may ultimately be better off.

What will be embarassing is if UT, Ark, Neb and UCLA all name coaches before us. Now that will be worse optics than the midnight party plane ride.
