What if... the big dogs flew up with a contract.

Got to asking questions to be sure and got the wrong answer. UF pulled their offer and flew back.

It's possible.

Not out of the question but Stricklin really needs to choose his words carefully when he announces someone other than CK.

Look, guys. This is what I'm going to say:

How do you guys think that multiple people from multiple sources have gotten so many things right up until this point? I understand you guys have been beaten into not believing good things can happen to us -- but look at it this way.

You don't fly every big staff member out to New Hampshire on a Sunday unless you are very confident with what you have. It's very possible that we didn't sign a contract, but I think it's more likely that we went out and gave him official promises for the contract for him to look over the next week. That's my least optimistic outlook on all this because I'm still at 98% he's coming to Florida.

How do you guys think the son of the director of the UAA got hold of Chip Kelly signing a contract?

Buddy also predicted it, and knew where the plane would be returning and also said that they had signed a contract.

Relax, gents.

What if Chip Kelly signed but it's not done until UF signs, and we're holding off on signing until Sunday so that Chip gets that $5mil

I'm not all panicky and most likely the deal is done. He's interested and we are too. We meet and discuss terms, verify, meet again.

Check things over again and everything is good. That's my thoughts anyways.

100% what happened, but it's not just that:

We're waiting to sign off on it to make sure that we're not liable for the buyout to pay him.

That's why we're waiting until the official end of the regular season.

I just saw that. Hard to keep up with everything. 1 week or 5 million. I'll wait.

How do we know the guy is a legit “son”?

What if they all showed up, and Chip downed a whole bag of Chips Ahoy. Like just one sleeve at a time, sucked down. And then he stares at everyone and says, "That's why the call me Chip.. So is that like Fox, Fooks ,or fricks?"

What then?

Then they wasted their time for nothing.

Again, feeling very confident he comes to Florida.

The only thing I could see getting in our way is the UAA acting like retards, but that they went with Struglan to visit Chip tells me that they're #AllIn

Chip is owed 5 million from San Fran if he does not take a job this season. UF's season is done after FSU.

I thought his buyout from 49ers was 6 million dollars a year ? Seems odd that this buyout would go by our season and not the 49ers.

The more I think about it, I don't think CK is coming regardless so we need to manage expectations. I think Frost is looking more realistic than Kelly at this point.
