Id love to hear Russel's thoughts on how Kelly's pre-Florida accomplishments stack up to Spurrier's or Meyers' pre-Florida resume's. 'Oh Steve only won an ACC title at Duke, and he was good in the USFL."
I kinda doubt ESPN will alllow Messrs. Stricklin and Kelly to grandstand on their programming. Bad precedent, IMO, since others might expect the same. OTOH, Chip is an employee so maybe they would. But if they allowed it, I think he should pull a Gator hat out of a gym bag a la the recruits on Signing Day.
Me: Baby, I'm gonna be home around 10. Wife: What? My parents are coming for dinner! Did something happen at work? Me: No, I'm driving to Connecticut to see if I can spy on a fat man talking to a skinny man. Wife: ..... click.
That was more or less my take about Kelly. Russel is more or less trying to curb the hysteria, or at least that's how it appears. I would not be upset with Kelly at all. I just hope he brings some defense with him. As much as I want offense, I also dont want to watch 58-54 games either.
It will be a special doubleheader. First the Kelly announcement, then it will be announced that UT has hired Jimbo Fisher. The UT AD will say, "It was easy, since FSU had zero interest in matching our offer."
Dude, we are about to go from Jim Mcelwain to Chip freakin Kelly in less than a month. What the POSSIBLE HELL could be wrong about that!?!?!
