re: The UF HC search 2017 edition

i don't doubt petrino or kiffin would light it up and probably win a natty at uf. just think there's too much baggage for stock strocklin to hire em.

I’ll take Randy Shannon before Norvell.

Wat da fuq did you just say?

I don't want a HC who doesn't want to coach. We already had that in 2010. You're nuts if you want Shannon. He's Mac with a face haircut. Average recruiter and coach. We may end up with him given Stricklin has dropped the ball and I won't watch a minute with him as the HC.

There is still hope, and actually a good chance he wakes up tomorrow and comes to his goddamn senses that Stricklin was never going to give an inch to a basketball school.

frick em he had his chance. At this point he comes across as little bitch. Moving on...Scott Frost 2018

Frost is actually our best chance to get him -- I can't believe Frost even talked to us, to be honest. Or at the very least heard us out. Of course, most coaches would, but it makes the noose a lot tighter for Kelly to hang himself.

If Florida tells him no, he will find it very, very hard to find a good deal. He officially fricked himself at two schools for trying to leverage them both against each other, they both caught on, and both are content to move on if need be.

As soon as UCLA said that ''he didn't know if he wanted to coach anymore'', I knew for a fact that we had won. I would still take him on, but he lost a lot of stock for being a whiny little scared bitch today.

Not gonna debate with you on why the HC from Memphis in his second year isn't like the HC from Colorado State HC in his third. Just not gonna do it, man.

Not to bust bubbles Straw, but for all we know Stricklin just checked Kelly out as part of the search process and maybe nothing more. Something tells me Stricklin isn't in awe of ANYONE. For all we know Stricklin has already talked to agents of maybe eight to ten coaches and has been doing a lot of research on all of them.

Honestly Straw, I think you have hyped up Kelly way too much. He last coached college football in 2012. Recruits were 12 or 13 yrs old then...yet you think they would flock to UF because of his name? He coached in the fricking Pac 12 and enough said there. I just don't see the immediate success that you seem to think would happen. We need a coach who would BUST HIS arse and work hard and smart to get Gator fans back after seven years of mediocre-ish football.

This is just my .03 worth. I could be dead wrong and we hire Kelly and he sets the SEC on its rear end....that would be great, but I don't see it. Whoever our next HC is, he is inheriting a loaded roster and should have wins right out the gate, but afterwards?

I myself prefer someone who has recruited Florida, has experience in the SEC or the south, is driven to succeed and hates losing. Kiffin may be that person, his drawback is being basically single and ADs like a wife by the side of their coaches....but it could be overlooked because of the positives.

Frost is almost surely headed to Nebraska...where he won a NC as a QB, has family there and strong ties, plus a AD who he is friendly with. Nebraska just needs to fire their HC first and Iowa just put up 56 points on them.

Whoever is running the show at Arkansas is fricked up, you don't fire a HC minutes after a hard fought loss and just before he has to face the media in a presser. They couldn't wait a few hours? Sure he deserved to be fired, but not in that manner.

Coaching in the SEC is tough business. Mullen is safe at Miss State and could retire there. Saban is a god and safe for however many years he wants, Vandy wants graduation numbers instead of Ws. Everyone else? Its a fight to keep your job and raise your family. That's why salaries are high.

Saw on twitter he was offered Saban like power over the team. If thats not good enough then he can kick rocks

No Chip Kelly on ESPN today
