Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[T REX]

I like Tim, but he's just towing the ESPNSEC company line. To say that MSU's coach is a culture fit at UF is asinine. He wasnt even a culture fit when meyer was here dragging his ass to titles. He sure as hell isnt a fit with his poor man's excuse for a heinz 57 offense and 2-18 record against ranked teams as an HC.

"With a loss against Auburn on Saturday night, MSU's head coach made some history, but not the good kind.


After a 49-10 loss, the MSU coach moved to 2-15 in ranked matchups. That is the worst record in AP poll history."

He was 4-29 vs ranked teams coming into this season. I do not want this loser anywhere near our program.

Small fish in Cali, whale in the Pac-10.

Not at UCLA. Dolphin at best.

You can have a bad fit if you are a winner.

Quite true, but having a bad fit makes winning less likely, not impossible but less likely. If you really don't want to do most of what is required by our organization go somewhere else, or at least that is my opinion. If Kelly wants to come and has a plan to meet all his requirements (could be delegated) I am fine, if not I am also fine with him going somewhere else.

I am tired of the "Culture Fit" argument. It sounds like Foley all over again.

I don't understand this statement. Earlier you mentioned, "high profile employment contracts for a Forbes Top 10 corporation." Does your corporate culture not play a role in your selection process? I work for a global engineering firm; our corporate culture certainly influences our leadership selections.

I like Tim, but he's just towing the ESPNSEC company line. To say that Dan Mullen is a culture fit at UF is asinine. He wasnt even a culture fit when meyer was here dragging his ass to titles. He sure as hell isnt a fit with his poor man's excuse for a heinz 57 offense and 2-18 record against ranked teams as an HC.

Yeah, Tim's pretty loyal to Mullin (and Meyer).

Says he played for Cal

Crap. For 40+ years I thought he’d played at UCLA. sigh.

Lou holtz had an out but only for notre Dame dating back to when he was at Arkansas. Sensible for both parties and not that unusual.

That is true. So we're Arky now. Both parties in our case deny any such signing though.

In any event, if this fantasy document was presented and/or signed, I hope our people know it isn't worth the paper its written on and are going all out on our backup plans. We had a jump on everyone else, now we do not.

I’ve actually heard that ASU was a bigger threat than UCLA. I think the UCLA stuff is just smoke.

I was a Mullin fan until I watched the MSU / Bama game. Mullin blinked on that 4th and 2 on the Bama side of the field. No thank you.

I love Arizona and I love the Phoenix area (I have relatives there), but that's a Grade C landing place for college football.

So according to the media, Chip Kelly wants to go a team that has no history of winning and sucks ball$ all together? Maybe this dude can't handle the pressure here and needs to go coach a d-2 school.

Arkansas was hot back then. Then it wouldn't be bad to be Arkansas.

I just shared it. I think it's weird speculation.

I know. Which makes it even more confusing.
