    That's the $64,000 question. There's no word on when there will be a press conference if CK has been hired. The logical guess is Sunday or Monday.

    My guess would be for a Monday press conference. SS wants to maximize the exposure of this hire and doing it on Monday where it won't be drowned out by the NFL does that. Also, it is a holiday weekend and a lot of the main reporters might not be there. So my bet is Monday.

    By sooner do you mean immediately after the game? Is the SF stuff the hold up for not announcing during the week, is it out of respect for RS, a combo of both, or something completely different?

    I told my teenage daughter that if she was an "attitude" teenager that I would wait until she had friends over and I would cut the grass in a speedo. I just want to assume this gentleman is doing the same. Oddly enough, I have a wonderfully well mannered daughter.

    Do you think CK is waiting to announce his hiring and becoming his HBC-ship in recognition and deference to THE THREAD and its reaching 1000 pages?

    I mean after all it's almost all about him minus just a few wee pages...

    Very good rum for sure.

    But I favor Bacardi (Black Rum, or Gran Reserva, preferably). Perhaps for the political ramifications of it--Havana Club supports the tyrannical abusive commie regime that suppresses its ppl. with impunity, while Bacardi supports free market capitalism, and the hope of a 'Cuba Libre'--or as they call it in Miami....'mentira' (or mentirita--i.e.--lie--or little lie).

    ...but tastewise, I really don't think Havana Club is any better, TBH.

    jmho/fwiw.

    I think that's a stretch. Jim McElwain's contract with Florida was 52 pages and is the same contract Florida uses for all head coaches and includes all the standard contract language and provisions necessary for his employment. Nick Saban's contract is 42 pages and he's the highest paid coach in the NCAA. I can't imagine Florida presented Chip Kelly with a custom 300+ page contract.

    Mac's contract can be viewed here:

    Nick Saban's contrcat is here:

    No real answer forthcoming. I'll have to research it.

    And if Chip doesn't like it, he can go to UCLA and hire who he wants.

    Buddy Martin reporting on his show that "UCLA has moved on from Kelly. Kelly to Florida is done.", also reporting that "Chip is assembling his staff - strength & conditioning, Director of Football Ops, etc. He says Philly was hit by a "tornado" on day 1 and Chip had his people in place when he showed up."

    - I told you guys, that was the point of all the vetting BEFORE hand. He doesn't want to come in and scramble to have to get approval for any hire he wants to make. He has a whole list ALREADY approved and will be able to immediately pull the trigger.
