After your contributions to the coaching search ( ), you should probably pipe down.

Well, at least he was trending up when we got him :). And BTW, my scenario didn't have us playing three consecutive times in one season. I thought I was more clear for an analogy's purpose. Maybe not.
Your top 2, I'm assuming, included Norvell. If so, despite his loss today I think he is a good offensive guy and coach overall. There seems, however, to be some problem in his background that has cooled some schools, including us, from pursuit. I have to guess that Frost might have been the other and he was who I really hoped we had a chance at. It became pretty obvious that Nebraska was where he was headed. If I'm on the wrong path, correct me please and explain who you would be finalizing. If not, I'm still interested to know how you pull off either Norvell or Frost.
He was never staying in the minor leagues.I live in metro Orlando & have a son at UCF so I’ve been watching UCF pretty closely. After seeing how this played out, including his post-game emotions, it looks like only Nebraska had the pull to pry him away. .
Market value of his job has nothing to do with the fact his last job which almost fired him twice, was cushy.
Chip Kelly wasn't a SEC guy, why are you just looking at SEC coaches... are they the only ones with success? A top 5 job has top 5 benefits and top 5 stress. That's part of the gig. But do you think it is easier or harder to get talent for you team at UF or MSU? Do you think the name brand is harder or easier to sell at UF?
Conjecture on your part... So because we wouldn't have gotten Mullen or someone similar in your opinion at less than 6.
He was never staying in the minor leagues.
Why do you think he wasnt going? Because he said so? He also said he wasnt discussing contracts until after his championship game? But it was signed days ago.
You Orlando Community College people are funny.
Our son is at the top of his class in “photonic science
Incorrect. It has everything to do with it. To motivate a person to leave his current job to a new job, payment has to be a strong drive, and if the previous job was easier, it would take much more to pay to force them to make the move. We needed Mullen, at a time when demand for proven coaches is enormously high with all the vacancies, and supply of said coaches is diminished. UT would have probably paid about the same at least to get him. I think his market value is just right.
You are not making any sense here. Sure Chip Kelly was not an SEC guy, but he had a tremendous winning record, which is why he was my first choice. But that is irrelevant since he did not want to come to UF. Out of the remaining coaches that were available to us, non of them had a clear advantage, but I do prefer to have a head coach with SEC experience. Tired of hiring coaches with "winning records" at weaker conferences.
Didn't think I have to explain this, but this entire discussion is by definition conjecture. Guessing what market value of a football coach is not exactly newtonian physics.

Memphis was a mirror of UCF & 1 play away from winning today. I’ve seen the same speculation about Norvell but no idea why Ut isn’t sleeping on his doorstep.
