re: The UF HC search 2017 edition

Spivey and De La Torre:

It's a situation now of getting the fine lines of the contract figured out. Hold up is on facility commitments and how many speaking engagements he does a year. AD and Chip Kelly are done talking, now it's lawyers hammering out the contract. It's going to be Chip Kelly.

I'm not sure why a coach has to demand this.

This should be the fricking standard. It shouldn't take a possible coach demanding that they built modern facilities for us to build those facilities. We should build them because they make the program better beyond just a coach.

It's ridiculous man. Invest in the program at a championship level if you want to win at a championship level. shite isn't that hard

UF has won when they have been behind in the facilities race. The UAA has been financially conservative the past 10 years while everyone else is neck deep in debt outside of Bama.

The model at UF is win then get the facilities upgrades you want. I don't think that should apply to football and maybe basketball. It was stupid not to have an IPF already. However, I like the fact UF is able to pull the trigger with firing a coach and not hang onto them for financial reasons.

It's a double sided coin.

Investing in the program gives the coach a better chance to be successful.

Investing in the coach with bad facilities puts the coach at a disadvantage.

I think we need to invest in it all this time around, what worked with Spurrier and Urban doesn't matter. Our fanbase is going to be throwing money into the athletic program if we hire Chip. Hell, I think we could get 100,000 people out there to build the facilities for them for free if it meant us getting an offense and competing at a championship level

If we were ever going to spend some money to upgrade the facilities for a coach -- it would be worth it for it to be Chip Kelly. 100%.

He's a guy that could bring in millions for our program, we need to throw everything we possibly can to get him to come and turn our program around while also generating money and future Gators for our fanbase.

According to my #Source #UF won’t announce Chip Kelly until everything is signed off. It is just a waiting game at this point. #Florida #CollegeFootball #NCAA

Goldkamp on 247: “wouldn’t rule out a potential announcement today”

Edit: The other pay boards have been saying that it is a matter of time.

Jonathan Vilma: "Chip Kelly to Florida." on the Ryen Russillo Show.

how long does it take to vet someone? shoot, i can get a NICS background check done faster than this.

Honestly, Vilma seemed pretty sarcastic while he talked about that. The other sources seem valid, though.
