    Ok but I'm not getting any "information" except our only targets might have been Chip and Bobby. The likelihood Stoops would come out of retirement to take on this pressure cooker are slim and Chip Kelly is looking less likely, although he still may be our next coach. So, I doubt Chip and Bobby were our only targets.

    You guys with the "sources" and "inside info", do you happen to sell used cars for a living? After 450+ pages of corny jokes, and hot chicks to keep up interest, I'm still wondering when that 11am announcement will come. Just missed today's window.

    Can't wait for the spin control and here if Kelly doesn't wind up being the head coach. It will be everyone's fault besides the guys with the BS info buried in this thread.

    BTW, I'd love to see CK end up being the HBC. Go Gators.

    Since we are including bands in the thread, AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young has died.

    FYI: As of today.....Deep Throat says the deal with Chip Kelly is still in the works. Just buttoning up the details.

    Again - just passing this along.

    I hope I'm not being trolled - but the person who gave this to me isn't a BSer type so take that FWIW.....

    A deal falling apart with a top coach is not surprising to me because we have a bunch of idiots running the show at UF. It's not SS's fault if we wind up with another mediocre coach. I've lost my passion for UF sports due to these idiots. I know I won't be contributing a dime to UF as long as they are in power.

    Agreed. And anyone who knows anything about Chip Kelly as a coach had to see this a mile away regarding demands. His adherence to sports science, etc are well-documented. I’m really not sure why we’d go down this road with him if it was going to be an issue to begin with.

    I never said they were only targets just that they were the first two targets and I know Bobby was approached and thought hard about it and was not an immediate "NO". Remember OK job changed for Bobby. Ok job is changed forever since three main things: 1) TCU emergence and added to a power 5 conference, 2) Baylor being woken up from the dead, 3) A & M added to SEC.

    I think Stoops coaches again but you are not wrong in that Stoops to UF too early in his first year of retirement but he was approached seriously more than just a left message by SOS.

    Other than making Stricklin feel good for about 2 minutes what good would that do?
    Well one must remember that a lot of the same people that are involved in this hire are the same people that got us here.

    Not an encouraging feeling.

    Yep, just like recruiting- "they had an agreement in place but it fell apart"... "he said yes to the coaches the night before then signed with fsu".

    No doubt a great recruiter. If he doesn't have a Winston type qb he hasn't been very good. He has beaten us, but that really isn't saying anything.
