It would be astounding if Scott Frost is spurning God knows how many huge offers to stay at UCF. I find it difficult to believe.
I don't know what I'd do if we hired Kelly. He's been my dream candidate for several years.
So much conflicting reports it's driving me crazy. Franz claims he was told by big time boosters. I doubt he lied. Boosters are the ones who usually fork up the salaries so they'd know. But it could just be a booster getting ahead of himself. I don't believe the frost staying with UCF thing at all but crazier things have happened. Petersen stayed at Boise Freakin State for 8 years
Update from my source...
He talked to another ex-UT (Texas) player who is friends with Trey Burton. Burton said that a member of the UF Athletic Dept (assistant AD maybe) called him asking for feedback on Chip Kelly (who he played for). Burton fully endorsed Kelly and said Florida should hire him...
Just so you know... my source is a close personal friend who works in sports media here in Austin and works closely with many ex Longhorn players. I trust that he is telling me what he has heard and not making stuff up.
I'm sure after checking with the senior at Boise State, the next thing they did was drive out to Ferg's trailer in Mizzu to let him know.If this is true chferg was saying it all day before this.
There is absolutely no idea what he has negotiated with UCF as a result of all this attention. I can say that those who work in planning around Gainesville/UF/Alachua County who have run into UCF's president and followed his moves, he is extremely aggressive and wants to make UCF the flagship school in Florida. It sounds funny, but UCF is making moves. Having a bigtime football team would do wonders for UCF's brand. They very well could amend his contract with a $4MM base and $10MM bonus if he gets UCF into a P5 conference. So I really wouldn't be surprised if they offered him something major.It would be astounding if Scott Frost is spurning God knows how many huge offers to stay at UCF. I find it difficult to believe.
