That any Gator fan would say no to Chip Kelly

His offense would be revolutionary in the SEC- nobody runs the old Oregon offense in the SEC.

More important than the revolutionary offense, he went 46-7 as the head coach at Oregon, including 3 conference titles in four years, 4 BCS bowl appearances (one natty appearance)

I look at hires like this: would I be concerned if our rival hired this guy? And I would shite myself if any of our rivals hired Chip Kelly. We can hire the best available coach. frick the show cause. This is Florida. The stuff Chip did is peanuts compared to what these other big time programs do. Let's do something to be great. Think about Ohio State hiring Urban a few years ago. This would be the equivalent of that. They've won Nattys and been perineal title competitiors since he's been there.

Let's do it.

Also, I just saw Erin Andrews on tv for the first time in what seems like years and she is still hot as shite.

I'm all on board. I wouldn't mind Frost, but his name definitely doesn't have the same weight as Chip Kelly -- not even close. I understand, though, in the way that I didn't want Lane Kiffin. He might be a great coach, but there is some baggage that people couldn't get over.

I wanted to say, too: I'd be in on Lane if it were even a high possibility that Norvell was going to have the job, nothing more.

If Florida is seriously looking at Kelly, why would they be waiting to make the move? There's no reason to wait until the end of the season, is there?

I think Kelly would win at Florida, but I do think Frost would be a more stable long term choice. Seems like Kelly would bolt as soon as the NFL came calling again.

I would be really happy with Chip Kelly. I think the concerns about him wanting to be in the NFL , his dislike for recruiting and not knowing if he could take the pressure being at UF are concerning . I think he has the best upside of all of the possible hires but he maybe one of the riskiest . He will demand a lot of money with a high buyout , so if he fails it could destroy our program for years. I think he is worth the risk as long as his pay is reasonable. I like Kiffin because I think he would be cheaper then most , he has the best experience being at UT and USC . He is most likely the best recruiter. I am not scared off the recruiting violation because we all know that UGA and Bama are cheating . Kiffin has was at Bama long enough to take them down with us . We all know how the SEC loves Bama . There are enough options out there that we can’t let any of these guys get us in a crazy bidding war .
