    Not so much support, but I went from "let's get Campbell" to "I'm not sure about him."

    TIL on Gatorcountry

    - Skepticism is heavily frowned upon. you should believe everything you read, as long as its a positive for florida, ANYTHING against Florida is fake news.
    - Optimism is the only truly acceptable way of posting. If you're pessimistic or in any way slightly negative, we will trash you for being a Nole, or a Dawg, or a troll, or all of the above.
    - Venting is not allowed. Its PG here, and you must be this tall to ride this ride and vent about a possible elite coach picking an irrelevant steaming pile of garbage program that only cares about basketball over florida.

    I'm sure theres more but thats the short of it

    We protect insiders on the Den.....we'll do it here, too. Some inside info has been provided to posters to ease their minds and give them an idea where the coaching search regarding Kelly was headed. NO source was wrong nor did they lie or make it up to mislead. Info passed on here was true and accurate at that time. We could have remained silent and let you wonder. Something has happened between Kelly and UF.....insiders here still have valuable insight because they heard the developments during the negotiations between Kelly and UF. It's up to you whether you want to believe them or not but DO NOT attack insiders saying they were wrong or misleading.

    Usually the inside information is found on the Den but this time there were insiders here on SG. Be grateful for that.

    Let things shake out before getting angry and blaming anyone involved in this.

    Yeah, Campbell is my number 3 behind CK and Frost who I don’t think we have much of a shot at anyway with all of the Nebraska ties.

    Here's a clue. Buy a VIP membership and see if the PAID insiders who cover the team as journalists agree with you...or us. You think they all made it up too? What about Darren Heitner?

    I have been pretty upfront about what the "system" is and is made up of. I have NEVER said I had a deep insider source. (I challenge you to show me where I did. I can show you multiple posts that state I do not.

    I did stumble across some info. I did match it up with multiple (unrelated) information streams.

    There was an agreement my friend. Thus the Ad and prez flying up there Sunday. Kelly may be backing out, but no one is making anything up. If you have been paying attention, I warned of this. I said the door was cracked based on CK's history of cold feet at the alter. I have been here since the Urban search, and until the Mac firing, you have never seen me claim anything. Why in the world would you think I would make it up now?

    I don't understand it bro. Let me be clear in saying I DON'T CARE when they do it, it's just weird to me.

    The majority of this board are amazing people and know how to think for themselves, so I have pride in the Gator Nation for the most part. These guys waste no opportunity to present themselves as clowns. Lol

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Chip Kelly. The offensive scheming is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of RPO most of the plays will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Kelly’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from cat behavior, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these systems, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Chip Kelly truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Kelly’s existential catchphrase "I don’t even know if I want to coach," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenevs Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Scoot Strokelan’sd genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Florida Gator tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

    It's more about bitching before something has even happened.

    All jokes aside, thanks to @tilly and @gatornana and the others for allowing me to post the info I have here. They could have easily told me "hey, don't post that here - that's for the insider board".

    I'm not even a member of that board BTW. If was posting complete trash with no merit I would have been banned or heard from them long ago!!

    There's a difference between skepticism and attempting to attack people for simply sharing info by the way. :)

    Campbell is a solid candidate, but he really hasn't done a whole lot more than Frost at this point and Frost has Florida recruiting connections and an exciting brand of offense.

    Dude, if you honestly thought anyone posting on this board had any credable info, PM me I have some swampland to sell you. This board is a fan board, some may have some booster friends and they report hearsay, if you buy that, it's on you.

    There's nothing subtle about his offensive scheming. It's why the NFL figured it out. It works extremely well in college because you don't have the caliber of athletes and tacticians. However, it falls far short of the truly special offensive minds out there.
