Update: Kelly buzz..."The Thread" Hall of Fame bound.

Listened to it Tilly. I took it is as he wants Kelly to hire him and he speculated Kelly would go some where. Kelly gave no indication of anything. That was Vilma looking for a job. I'm not saying Kelly could not come here but that just sounded like Vilma hoping for a job from his friend.

 

Unknown at this point. Maybe. Do we, as fans, have the patience to find out? I would be excited to have either!

 

Or SOS with the Redskins...

 

RIP Big East

 

As of yesterday Spurrier had this to say:

“I believe we’ll have an excellent coach here in 3-4 weeks. … The coach is with his team now. The coach we’re going to hire is probably – I would almost 100 percent say – is coaching his team today, this weekend and through the end of the season and maybe through the bowl game.”

Could Spurrier really be that out of the loop?

 

If chip returns to college any idea who his dc is going to be? Offensive geniuses only win half the battle. He would need an open checkbook and homerun on the other side of the ball.

Exciting idea if we don't get Frost. I'd be stoked for either.

 

Or was spurrier instructed to spread some misinformation.

 

Or things have just changed on SEC approval for Kelly if true.. Most of the guys on our list are in that situation described by SOS (other than Kelly) and SOS probably thinks Stoops is retired for good.

Positives Kelly:
- established and has NFL experience
-coached Heisman winner
-quicker start

Positives Frost:
- younger version of Kelly could stay longer
-was the OC at Oregon when they were hot and had the Heisman winner also

 

Awesome post. This solidifies frost for me. You just put a smile on my face again!!

 

Spurrier is pretty involved I think . He knows who we are targeting. I hope it’s Frost if not Kelly. Worst case Taggert

 

I really hope your source is correct.... this is a grand slam hire if it comes to pass.

 

Spurrier is all smokescreening and what not.

 

Or Tebow, who Kelly strung along and then cut when he should have made the roster. Tebow of course took the high road and thanked Kelly for the opportunity, when he should have told him to pound sand

 

I thought you know who it is going to be?

 

Spurrier recently commented on the coaching situation and said “The coach being considered, is currently with his team”.

 

Kelly is with his ESPN broadcast team

 

And don’t love the idea of Vilma as our LB coach. Great player but no coaching experience at all and a cane to boot

 

Or Stricklin is specifically telling SoS to spread bad information. Kelly would be a monster hire and everybody would notice.

 

The issue with announcing a coach soon is that the NCAA limits the number of coaches a team can have. So announcing Chip means one of our current coaches woukd have to be released/demoted, whatever.

Personally I think Chip should be our guy. I'm concerned that Frost has so many factors going for the soon to be open Nebraska job that he'll use UF leverage to get a UF payday at Nebraska. I'd do the same thing in his position.

If not Kelly or Frost, Florida takes more risk than it should with a Norvell type, or there is a dark horse that wows us all.
