Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[78]

@FootballScoop: If anyone is looking for a distraction from these Friday early games… an update regarding Chip Kelly

Here's the problem I have with these off-brand accounts.

So, if Chip choose UCLA, Frost elects to move to Gainesville…where does that leave Nebraska? It is referred to as the carousel for good reason.

Not buying. Yet.

So we are trying to use logic on our emotions?

If we don’t have an answer from Chip by Sunday, we should move on.

OnlyGators. What are they saying re Strong?

Friday, Nov. 24 — Day 26
2:30 p.m.: FootballScoop.com, in speaking with a variety of coaches across the industry, believes the “prevailing logic” is that Chip Kelly will choose UCLA over Florida and that the Gators will then turn to UCF head coach Scott Frost as their next top candidate. The website also reports that neither school has begun speaking with additional candidates at this time but that South Florida head coach Charlie Strong is hoping that Florida comes calling.

Chomp: We’re providing this update because it’s the lone item of any consequence that has been published by a reputable outlet since end of day Wednesday. Nevertheless, considering the website goes out of its way to indicate that its information is not coming from Kelly, his agent or the schools, it should certainly be taken with a grain of salt at this time. That said, the information that Strong is trying to make it clear he wants to coach the Gators is relatively common knowledge, as is the fact that Florida would pursue Frost if it does not get Strong. Considering Mississippi State is reportedly, according to Sports Illustrated’s Bruce Feldman, doing whatever it can to keep Dan Mullen (including a potential offer of $6 million per season plus an increase in staff pay), UF’s options may be slimming if it does not land Kelly — and if Frost either chooses to stay at UCF or move to his alma mater of Nebraska.

Let me give you a very strong reason, the CEO sets the culture...not the other way around. The HC of the football team @ a major D1 institution IS the CEO of the athletic program from a public perspective. Ask 100 people who the coach is for Ohio State versus the AD for Ohio State. You will clearly see who the culture setting figure of the program is. SOS forever changed the culture of UF athletics. UM built on it and expanded it. The last two coaches have degraded it. To say that people who NEVER get in front of a camera, NEVER meet a recruit, NEVER get interview at half time of post game, NEVER have a midweek call in show, NEVER have to answer for W/L's.....to say those people set the culture of your program is absolutely comical. While in THEORY...it may be an approach that is written in a manual somewhere, in PRACTICALITY, the culture of an org is established, affirmed, and lived out by its most public figures. I can't tell you how many times we have looked for a C level executive for a company to "come in and change the culture" or "get us back to our core principles". Let's not have the tail wagging the dog here. I can give you dozens of examples where LEADERS ESTABLISH CULTURE, not the other way around.

Of course leaders set culture but the institution will impose culture too. For instance look at what we fans and the administration is looking for; potent offense, energetic and fun to watch, accountability, pain in the a$$ for our rivals, etc.. Doesn't that define the UF football culture. And yes, SOS defined that culture in 1990. We've been trying to find someone who could fit that culture since 2001.

I would be happy with Strong depending on the staff and assistants that he would get, especially those on offense.

As to Kelly we could adopt some of his reported monitoring and enhancing performance activities from the Eagles without him around.

We need an offense that develops players and does not insist on one system, but rather adapts to the talents and abilities of our players.

Strong es el número dos? Really? The fact that all this drama is bringing out the wallets in Stark Vegas is funny, though.

I personally like strong but we really need an offensive minded coach.

Andy Staples is a UF alum. As far as Kelly "looking into" ASU, seriously? How many schools is he going to string along? And btw, this thread has made it to 300 pages!! Will it get to 400 before we know about Kelly?
