Just putting this out there... During Pre-game on Saturday, a man in Sansabelt slacks, yellow shirt and Orange and Blue tie comes to mid field blowing a whistle and waving the Mr2Bits card....The public address announcer says "Today's honorary Mr.2Bits is Your next Head Coach of the Florida Gators, Chip Kelly" The crowd would go bonkers...

“way inside” pleeeeeeaaase! wtf!
This has been a :trainwreck:
The only way it would be a train wreck is if UAA had said, chip kelly is our only target and we have him in the bag. Thus far, not a single peep has directly come from UAA. Only when SS landed in ocala and said there is a lot of interest in the job. Not by who or if it was Kelly. It is the fans and bloggers that have been running with eachothers story. Then the message boards etc etc.

So no it is not a train wreck. Wait till we have a coach, of it is not Chip Kelly and is a no name coach, then it's a trainn wreck. UAA had keep all of this very close to the vest and everyone wants to be the one that "breaks" the story.

It's Nov. 16. Granted, this season is different for myriad reasons. But some perspective. #Gators

Dates of hire ...
Steve Spurrier -- Dec, 31, 1989
Ron Zook -- Jan. 9, 2002
Urban Meyer -- Dec. 3, 2004
Will Muschamp -- Dec. 12, 2010
Jim McElwain -- Dec. 2, 2014

3:21 PM - Nov 16, 2017

OK, any announcement is not going to be made until after FSU game. I'm back-tracking on an earlier post. Sunday or Monday? I would say Monday. I would further say that Scott Stricklin knows what he is doing and has taken steps to jump out in front on this hire. We showed up with our big guns at Kelly's house so he knows that we want him. If the hire is not Chip Kelly then that is because Chip Kelly weighed things and in the balance chose otherwise. We do know that Kelly does things on his own terms and is very deliberate in his decisions. With Kelly the highest bidder may not win out. That's just the way he is.

Imagine hiring CK this Sunday - 12/3?

Florida has no football history other than SOS and CUM, huh?

Thank you Law, fellow counselor, and ... Donkey. I had earlier been thinking about my ABC sports' CFB game of the week from my youth and thought what I'd tell to my local bartenders: there were really only seven or so teams back in the early '70's. No one knows of Wilbur Marshall, etc..?

I never saw Idaho State football until ESPN(othing) stopped televising Norwegian curling and Boston College basketball in the mid-'80's.

So do y’all think it’s more likely we’d announce Kelly on Sunday or Monday? If it ain’t announce by then, think we’ll be going to our backup choice, if he’s still available that is.
I speculate Monday.

Gay Mexican porn banned by Trump

I can hear the announcement now:
"Pablos Tunnel is the worst gay porn I have ever watched. SAD. This is another example of Mexico sending us only the worst of its pornography across our borders. AWFUL, very bad. The WORST, I'm telling you...the very worst. So to address this national crisis I'm going to produce a BOD and make Mexico eat them!"

Bud at the NSA just sent me a transcript that came across his desk... It's all redacted but I think we know who is talking!

"So if we announce this before the end of the season, even if the contract says I'm not the coach until 2018 and the effective date is after the FSU game, what chance is there the 49ers think they have a case for not paying the 6 million and take me to court?"

"Pretty small, but there's a chance they might try and we'll have to litigate to fight it, and that won't be cheap. If we wait to announce until after FSU there is zero chance they have a case worth pursuing."

"So, what if I sign now to let you guys know I'm all in, but we hold off the announcement until then?"

"Works for us! Oh Son of a Fawbush how did this end up on Twitter already! Crap, someone get D***** and A***** on the phone and tell them they get the exclusive for The Sun if they start laying smoke about UCLA being the reason C*** didn't fly back with us!"

:shocked:

Soooo... anything new other than:

1. We signed Chip Kelly
2. Chip Kelly is going to Nebraska, UCLA, the Giants, etc.
3. We are waiting to announce until after the FSU game.

Give me the skinny...

I can personally attest that nine-win seasons won us a boatload of free tickets to the Gator Bowl and a lifetime of frustration at the hands of Vince Dooley.
