Sources: UF & Chip Kelly working on contract details

[ThreatMatrix]

Boy they shut down the Chip Kelly leaks fast. I smell a conspiracy.

I think L-Boy is Lawrence of Florida. Endless drivel that only gets his panties wet.

I put Frost coming to UF at 50/50. For those wondering why he would stay at UCF, he has 18 starters returning on a team that is currently owning their conference. And most of those starters are freshmen and sophomores.

He's still young with a lot of years to make money. And at $2 million a year (for now) he's never going to want for much. Sure, he can make a big payday at UF but I don't know how much money matters to him over loyalty and security. I hope I'm wrong and we get him. I'd prefer him over Kelly but I'd prefer Kelly over most of the other options out there.

Was really hoping this was a done deal, now who knows? Everyone keeps tweeting announcement coming soon, but is that Monday soon or 2-3 weeks soon?

 

[Gatorbait25]

Chip is fat. Which means he's probabjy lazy as hell in addition to having.desire to get off ass to recruit . Just say no to fat **** coaches .

 

[ThreatMatrix]

Done deal

Another middle aged bad ass with man boobs bowing up behind a pc screen.

Well, that went well.

If the Kelly thing is true it was never happening today and most likely not tomorrow...at the earliest is Monday and that is unlikely. IF the rumors are true it's more likely they are talking and agreeing to terms...there is a lot to work out and not just saying 5 years for $6 million or whatever...contracts are going to take time

Well that sure was an interesting waste of time reading that all that poppycock.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Okay, the L-Boy rebirth experiment has ended. I wish him all the luck in his future endeavors.

You gave it a shot.

 

[bayou gator]

What many of you probably don't realize is that L-Boy was masturbating to every reply he got and the dislikes put him over the top. It's what he does.

I remembered his name from awhile ago, but I didn't remember anything specific about him. I get the feeling he believes that he is the life of the party wherever he goes, and he is the only one who feels that way.

Agreed, it takes time to agree on all of the terms that are in best interests of all parties ect. I'm sure we all just want to hear its done sooner than later to have a shot of saving this class.

 

[GatorShea]

I don't take much stock in that guy's tweets. He has thousands of followers but very few that like or retweet his stuff. He could end up being right but I think it will be as much of a shot in the dark for him as him having reliable sauces.

IF it's Kelly then yeah the sooner the better...but i would be a guy like him would have quite a few demands. If it's anyone else that is still coaching we aren't hearing anything until early December...but if it goes beyond this week then you know the Kelly rumors are probably BS

 

[MidwestChomp]

Seriously that's the best you got?

Well, he could have at least offered some support

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Honestly, he has always been the least interesting poster. Even in the PF, most of the folks across the aisle are funny, mostly friendly, and provide some wit and sarcasm. In the end I feel like Id love to buy most of you a beer and talk in real life.

Not that dude.

If it's Frost, i dont mind waiting.. If it's Kelly we need to have his introduction presser asap. just my .02. Either is a home run hire.

Agreed on all accounts

In reality I think he's actually kind of an introvert. He comes across to me as a pretty sad guy, really. I've gone back and forth with him for years over on the PF and in all that time I've picked up bits and pieces of his life. As irritating as he purposely tries to be by playing the contrarian for no other reason than to piss people off, I actually feel sorry for him. Doesn't make him any less of a jackass though.
