Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[5-Star Finger]

What we thought it was going to be like:

What it is actually going to be like:

 

[GBHOR]

So Tim Brando, says during Texas game that CK was seen doing a walk around at UCLA and Kelly has "declined" the Florida opportunity. The declination is unconfirmed. Fwiw

 

[rogdochar]

Backed out of a deal with Florida and nixed talks with UCLA over Under Armour because he's a Phil Knight Nike guy. The guy's a kook.

All of this according to a financial advisor from Ocala who says it was leaked by a Kelly assistant who supposedly stands to be hired by Kelly if Kelly himself can ever get over himself, which sounds like Jonathan Vilma.

How's that for clear and authentic?

Here's this theory I payed 3 rumors for - so it must be a done deal. =

Kelly is so reclusive-elusive that reporters started the gasping-grasping writings that create a myth, a legend of exaggeration. Then Kelly develops a fear of not matching those if he enters the real world of the coaching grind. So now he's frozen, can't move for fearing he won't live up to the over-inflated Chip Kelly. The stronger the hiring pressure, the more he cacoons. No longer a good fit.

Remember all the hype over Tom Herman last year? Texas just finished 6-6

:Yeah I don't care if we get Nick Saban....we've got big gaps in recruiting that aren't going to mend overnight, and we're gonna have a bunch of kids trying to learn a new system to boot. Its not going to be a one year turnaround no matter who it is.

First year growing pains. IMHO, he's a great coach. You'll know more next year for sure but lots of great coaches have rough 1st years.

Yeah, we've had a bunch of people saying (trying to convince themselves really) that our 3 star U recruiting wasn't a problem because Ole Butterteeth and his FIU staffers were really going to coach them up!

IMHO, he's a great coach.

He is a shyt coach with just another sideways offense.

You could be right. We'll find out. Maybe we'll get lucky.

I was never buying what they were selling on Mr Spread Option.

Not saying I want Strong as my coach. I think he would have had Texas in the top 10 maybe even top 5 this year.

Looks like he's going to have to pull out the big guns and go full on french kiss tonsil hockey if he wants to get them to be a championship caliber team.

Dooley saying not Chip?

"Kelly, 53, is expected to be named the next coach at UCLA, returning to the Pac-12.
Yahoo.com first reported the story that Florida has moved past the possibility of considering Kelly for the vacant job."

Damn, I was liking your post, and then you had to mention Mullen

Thank you. I missed it! I owe you one.

Rules are rules.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

to me it was over when aschoff said it was over.

 

[AugustaGator]

Nobody in their right mind would want Mullen here unless you became conscious only recently.

Rules are rules.

Yeah, Aschoff first, now Dooley. They don't write anything until SID tells them too.

It's done.
