    It's weird that it's nearly a done deal, and now they're going to drive it up on the one coach we've closed on. Well, nearly closed on

    This is not real correct. I am on twitter but I am such a rookie at it. Can someone that knows more about twitter confirm this is not real?

    For me, the only reason to prefer anyone over Frost is the simple fact that he hasn’t proven himself as a HBC at the level he’d be entering at UF. Although his accomplishments are impressive at UCF, it’s still in that shitty conference. So choosing Frost wouldn’t be too far removed from the decision to bring in Mac out of CSU in that shitty conference. That said, he very likely is the real deal and I’d be thrilled with the announcement of Frost........or Kelly

    Trey Wallace just reported on his podcast that UF and CK are talking but it’s still early and not the done deal some have suggested. He said to watch and see what happens this week. He says Gruden or Mullen to UT

    Anyone can create a Twitter page and pretend to be someone else. Mostly to have fun. If you see a blue check mark next to the person's twitter name then you know they have been verified as the true person by Twitter.

    I'm pretty sure I was the first person to bring this to attention. How about a citation? Or a royalty?

    Correct. Created by a hopeful UT fan. The real Chip Kelly wouldn't change his twitter, assuming he has one, to @UTChipKelly.

    At least for the next 2 seasons it doesn't matter what anyone pays him since SF is on the hook for 6.5m/yr. After that, however...

    Kelly would definitely be exciting! 25 pages of rumors has me excited, but braced for a Taggart announcement.

    I wish I could say I was happy to hear that, or that I knew our money would be well spent. We shall see what happens.

    I need to check if I have a blue check on my twitter account. Is the blue check mark only for famous people?

    It would be nice if Booger said Florida picked a winner with Kelly.

    This is what I have been saying on all of the Frost threads. If he had beaten some big teams he would be more of a no brainer. He could be the next Urban Meyer, but he could also be the next dud.

    Yes, you and I don't count since we're not "public" personalities. Companies can also get the blue check mark.

    I think the level of improvement from before he got there to this season is significantly better than almost any other coach out there though. Mac made a bad CSU decently better each year in a bad conference. Frost has made UCF an offensive powerhouse in a bad conference by his 2nd year. Reminds me of Urban at Bowling Green. Definitely a risk though.
