    For those of you just joining us.

    Fact: Scrap Sorenson is not divulging anything regarding the coaching search.

    Fact: Reporters are tweeting across the spectrum of how the coaching search is progressing.

    Fact: Speculation regarding what we don't know is being taken as facts.

    Fact: A lot of posters need to be calm.

    Because fact is, we don't know anything. And no amount of speculation will change that. Be patient Gator fans, let's not witch hunt Chip Kelly and Sally Struthers just yet. :)

    Easy there killer! How exactly do you know what's been done and what hasn't? Just because they reached a agreement doesn't mean they have to run straight to the press with it. They'll announce when they're ready for whatever reason they decide. I don't understand getting all worked up when you have no idea what's happening behind closed doors, have some patience and let the process play out.

    That Steve Stiffler sure does keep ya guessing. One minute he's the coolest dude on the planet then the next you think he may be the biggest douche. Lots of laughs and most times you can't tell if you want to laugh with him or at him...wonder what his mom looks like?

    Corral is getting a bit restless. I wonder how that would affect his commit.

    If we lose Corral because we couldn't close Chip...

    Why would the president of the university get in a plane and fly all the way up there if it wasn't a solid done deal? They don't need to meet him in person to negotiate numbers.

    Also, why would most of our players tweet the same thing? There's no chance they all saw it as a troll opportunity.. plus why would they do that?

    SS wants his moment in the spotlight and wants to be the first one to let everyone know what's going on. He will do it on his terms so just sit tight.

    My take is that the heavy hitters went to NH for the signing party to impress upon CK that the administration is fully behind him. You don’t send a grunt to get the signature

    My feeling is that SS did not realize how resourceful Gator nation is when it comes to football coaching searches. No one has gone through it more than we have lately and we have plenty of experience.

    He wants to control the news.

    I just thank my lucky stars that we have such cerebral posters like you to enlighten everyone on how the elite analyze posters on a college football message board = thanks!

    Wasn’t there handwringing and worry when Foley flew home without Mac on the plane?


    (Obviously not a coach comparison, just one to the situation and end result of the hiring)

    Could be we sent the "heavy hitters" to try to convince him to sign. And failed.

    The President of UF doesn't convince a football coach. That's the AD's job.
