Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[Mim Jacelwain]

Last I heard the ball is in the UAA's court and they are meeting this morning. Hopefully we get some good news.

Usually a meeting is good ( I would guess anyways) . At least their still thinking about it ,or signing off.

It's so nice we are able to draw so many females to this board.

Ox, your diversity program is amazing. You need to start selling it to the fortune 100. They pay real well for results like this.

Oregon's state of the art facility is 142,000 square feet built in 2013 at a cost of $68 M. It was 8 years in the planning. In case you haven't seen the facility, it is nice. Just what an 18 yo kid from the muck deserves. Here's the link.

Still have to build a new baseball stadium and move parking and perform a million other incidentals.
I'm guessing CK's contract has to be at least 5 years at 30 million with a menu of incentives, his coaching and support staff could be another 25. I imagine the total cost would exceed 150 million. There are a lot of moving parts to this and I can guarantee that the facilities can't be designed and built as quickly as you think. This is larger than the AD's paygrade.

I really hope that we invest the capital that we have been saving by going cheap for the past decade. UF needs a home run hire, similar to what the University of Michigan did to get Harbaugh. I also wonder if the potential tax cuts will impact our athletic department after reading interesting ESPN article http://www.espn.com/college-sports/...ege-administrators-worry-funding-new-tax-plan

This needs to get done. I'm tired of having to read thru 12 pages of a single thread when I wake up. I should be using that time to "pay attention" to my new bride.

She wholeheartedly concurs.

Just win baby. Kelly will bring us credibility and the recruitment will follow. We need to upgrade our football facilities to complete with other top notch programs. Please keep Foley out of it!

I wonder what "capital" you are talking about. As I understand it we have debt and an appropriate cap on our debt (100M). So I don't see any capital being saved, just being reasonable in debt. Now if you can raise a couple of 100 millions then we might have some capital to spend.

My info's got to be spot-on 'cause I water-boarded my source. Chip Kelly's hand is in a boot; he can't sign anything right now.

Your dedication to the cause is admirable.

But by my understanding he is to be a consultant on many issues, including this one. Note you listen to consultants, they don't control what you do.

And no it is not "just win baby", we don't do that at UF.

I’m not claiming my info is correct. But I just talked to my friend (who is in Gainesville this weekend) and he told me that the owner of nappys told him that the HBC told him it was not Kelly. (Did you get all that). He said it’s Mullen

And that makes me want to cry

I think its funny. Mullen isnt the target.

Well he is claiming that this Chip Kelly news is just a smokescreen to save Mullen from dealing with news and questions about him and the Florida job.

 

[Daryl]

If it's Mullen, Scott and Steve will be rioted upon....

If they used Chip Kelly as a smoke screen for Dan Mullen we need to storm the Bastille.

 

[Sundaysunday]

I really hope it's not Mullen and if turns out to be him it shows a complete lack of imagination from SS.

Mine use lived to set up elaborate SEC and NC parties for me and Foley turned her into a lazy bitch.
