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.

looks like smart doing well at uga this year has lit a fire under the respective asses of UF and tenn.
would be nice to have all 3 playing good football again. i've never been so "meh" about back to back east titles (we've had several in the last few decades). knew we were gonna get clobbered by bama.
kelly was and still is my first choice. i know frost represents youth and a longer "tenure", but that's a silly reason to hire a head coach if something more proven like kelly is on the table.
hell, we'll probably get helfrich as an oc. oregon dropped off last year, but it was the defense that did em in. helfrich's offense was still bad arse.

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.

The process of hiring a coach takes time.
It doesn't happen as fast as we can open up the SEC Rant on the internet or get on our phones to check twitter.
I think the writing is on the wall that if a hire is not made by the FSU game, the guy is Scott Frost. If a hire is made prior to that game, the guy will be Chip Kelly.

You guys are way off. The next coach is in the running for a National Championship.

That threat could be there with Frost as well. Frost played 6 years in the NFL, I could see him wanting to give it a shot if he finds success here just like Kelly did at Oregon.

I didn't believe ATL at first when he said that there would be a good bit of Gator fans who don't want Chip, but holy frick there are.
Who the frick doesn't like winning? If he can take a team like Oregon -- who didn't finish first in the PAC since 2001 -- and literally finish first in the PAC all 5 years while at Oregon and compete with huge programs, what can he do at Florida?
We need this hire -- a true and tried coach with an offensive mind who has a brand that can be sold. There's a reason most fans from other teams are straight up terrified if we hire Chip Kelly.

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 .

Any top tier coach would have a concern for this. Chip tried the NFL and it didn't work out, and, if all goes well, he might find that Florida is an easier program to run than Oregon.
quote:
his dislike for recruiting
Any coach at Oregon would fricking hate recruiting. What do you tell people? Eugene has a really cool Resevoir that they can visit?
Especially when you're trying to compete with campus powerhouses like UCLA, USC, Washington, Cal, Arizona State has an amazing campus who all run similar offenses to you.
Who runs a similar offense in the SEC to poach our players from Florida?
quote:
take the pressure being at UF are concerning
There will be very little pressure from hereon out. He will have two years to do what he needs to do, and with the way he'll be able to recruit talent, he will get it done probably in one.
He has a good class coming in, our entire team is coming back for next year outside of like 3 players. (Washington, Dawson and Powell) He will be king of Gainesville for a long time.

I think all of his post are about Lincoln Riley at OU.
