    here’s hoping Growl gets to feeling better - I’ll bet an announcement on Chip Kelly would help

    Well, since we are going to go for it, I think this is the best way to meet "this group"...

    That would be actually pretty cool... "Introducing your future head football coach as Mr Two Bits.... Chip Kelly!!!!!"

    The crowd would go nuts... a splash hire with a splash announcement!

    Well glad you’re back home there Gator buddy - I’ve still got 2 hours to sit here at and drink beer at ATL waiting for my connection home.

    Maybe we’ll have an announcement by the time I........oh never mind....

    You point out the obvious. Gator fans are so eaten up with such unrealistic, silly expectations that they are in a constant state of emotional distress. Look at this thread: 269 pages of complete, unsubstantiated rumor and speculation, yet that speculation is going to cause thousands of gator fans to need psychiatric treatment if Chip isn't hired. And of course, Stricklin and many others in the UAA are going to get roasted because of those absurd expectations.


    Chip has some baggage and UF should take it's time and consider all options before making the decision.

    I think you're giving him too much credit. These dudes tend to live in a bubble when making decisions like this. They think they have the best option and that people will be ecstatic when they announce.

    They could be sadly mistaken here.

    I’m inclined to think not....

    In Scott Stricklin I trust. He’ll pull it off for us

    Do you all agree:

    Under normal circumstances a hire like Frost or Mullen would be welcome. For instance, after Urban left. However, with 8 yrs of failure and 2x failed hires, do you think there is a bit more to this hire than chosing someone familiar with the program (Mullen) or the big up-and-comer in Frost?
