I can guarantee right now: Kelly doesn't say no to whatever we're offering.

Per Darren Heitner:

Confirmed that UF is looking at Chip Kelly as next head coach. Decision could be as soon as this week. Also heard that Florida was becoming very frustrated with Jimmy Sexton, who represents many other potential candidates. Chip is represented by David Dunn.

This is the most legitimate report yet. He broke Mac and UF parting ways

David Dunn has offices in Gainesville. People who live in One Particular Harbor may know someone.

Chip is happening.

I agree, if for no other reason than there are now so many different stories out there. The problem becomes that with the amount of excitement growing around Kelly's potential hire, if he doesn't end up being the guy, unless you get Frost, almost everyone else is going to be considered a disappointment.

Got this from gator country.

quote:

I've been hinting at the fact Frost doesn't really want to come to UF, but some of us are so stuck on us being UF we can't fathom it. He either stays at UCF or goes to Nebraska. Frost is really feeling himself and is hell bent on proving himself in a situation that people deem improbable. Coming to UF and succeeding doesn't feel like a challenge to him, making UCF a "powerhouse" is, reviving Nebraska is. He's played hardball with UF the whole time. I mentioned at the onset that he and Taggart were 1a and 1b and that was the case. Until, Chip reached out WANTING to be our coach. Tag wanted to be our coach bad also, but some things got out a bit too early and neither side wanted to appear "slimey" if that makes sense. Once Chip reached out it became a no brainer really. You want a guy who WANTS to be on our sideline - not a guy you have to chase. And when that guy just happens to be one of, if not the most innovative offensive mind in CFB history - you make it happen. Even if he doesn't like to do dishes or fold laundry. ;)

Holy frick, it's happening.

P.S., if that's true about Frost, he's an idiot.

UCF is going to be a legit contender, but once they move to a real conference they are going to have a frick ton of 6 - 6, 7 - 5 seasons.

It's a done deal, man. So many sources are reporting on it, and I can guarantee you something: This isn't the first they've been talking. We've been breaking on this for at least a week and a half now.

It was decided a while back.

Well, on Monday Darren Heitner of The Sports Agent Blog, tweeted that Chip Kelly is the leading candidate for the Florida job, stating that UF prefers a candidate without ties to agent Jimmy Sexton (Jim McElwain’s agent).

Confirmed that UF is looking at Chip Kelly as next head coach. Decision could be as soon as this week. Also heard that Florida was becoming very frustrated with Jimmy Sexton, who represents many other potential candidates. Chip is represented by David Dunn.

If Heitner’s report is true, it appears that Florida will have a new head coach by the end of the week.
