    You dont know what kind of control Chip wanted..Carroll left USC a mess and a natty that was recalled..Jimmy what exactly has he done? Saban is a once in a lifetime coach and he gradually got more and more when he proved himself.

    What is the sticking point is CK wants to keep Nuss and SS said "Oh He!! Naw"

    I feel ya man, I’d really like to know the exact details of the negotiations... but you can bet your ass now that we never will know anything for certain.

    We gave him everything he said he wanted in the offer by all accounts, agreed to in principal.
    Him coming back at the last minute and asking for more doesn't mean he hadn't agreed prior.

    Obviously CK is an elite candidate, but plausible that SS figured he'd be happy to conclude a deal over the last 10 days since CK was the only game in town. Now the other candidates are available for discussion, so it's indeed time to move off of Kelly's timetable and close this out one way or another.

    Who says we cant afford a big time coach? Im sure we offered him the moon and then he want back for thirds and wanted more for his assistants or a cut from the merch..not going to happen.

    What "control" exactly did UF refuse to give him?

    I tend to think we have about a 3 out of 10 chance at Frost right now.

    I dont think the issues were financial. I think Florida wanted some protections in place due to cKs past. I also believe that he frankly went to the more comfortable situation. If he isnt ready for the SEC fishbowl...then this is for the better.

    Do not drop f bombs or insult Stricklin or any other employee at UF. We don't want to start banning folks.

    We're on a crazy roller coaster.....hang in there.

    You just said it. If we cannot afford CK then we cannot afford a top tier coach. It’s the going rate.

    “We’re going to end up in a really good spot” tells you pretty much where the situation is right now.

    Sources say UF wouldn't cave, had issues giving up control that Kelly wanted. I don't know what kind. Just what I get told and it lines up with every single report so kind of hard to deny it at this point

    I have a feeling I’m going to get banned once we hired the 10th best coach on the market

    You are right, the only fact is that nobody really knows
