    I want Chip a lot as well, but there are other good coaches out there. Let's not be dramatic. We won't end up with Ed orgeron (aka. Charlie Strong imo).

    I think we get a coach who will succeed offensively even it it's not the ultimate apple of our eye.

    Kind of find it odd though that nothing is leaking about Chip signing a deal when he would likely be announced at UCLA in 48 hours if he has. I think we still have a shot here. There are a few things that point in that direction

    So what coaches would you want IF we don't get Kelly or Frost? Seems like the next two in line would be Strong or Mullen.

    Just don't see Mullen coming here. He was treated kinda like crap and his wife confirmed the feeling. If anything I see Mullen taking the Tennessee job.

    It's a better job, doesn't have to be in the west and who wants to be announced for Florida after all the Kelley fervor?

    Edit: by the better job i meant over Miss st not Florida

    "Banging head on wall." Give me Norvelle, Fuente...Campbell....before either of them....At least try to move the needle.

    I'd take Norvell before 2-15 against the Top 25 Mullen.

    I'd be more in favor of taking a run at Patterson than to go after either of the ones you mentioned. It's like this ask yourself this do you honestly thing Strong or Mullen has what it takes to win a national championship? I don't see them winning more than 10 a season. And I'm not saying they would average 10 I'm saying they'd have years where they'd win 10 ganes

    Frost and Mullen would be my next calls.

    After that, maybe Taggart (recruiting would at least set us up for the future if all else failed. Biggest problem with mac is the talent drop off because of him). Also might consider checking in on Gundy. I still like Gus, and would ask if he and Auburn feel like they have run their course.

    We will know by Saturday morning. UCLA's last game is Friday. The rumors and tweets will explode tomorrow. Will make the FSU game interesting or completely forgettable.

    I agree that the Mac hiring was a big mistake, however Mullen has way better track record as Hc than Mac ever did.

    Interesting, better than Leach(Not a good fit), Norvell (Not proven at all), or Fuentes(Not Leaving), but based on resume why do think Patterson could win MNC in S.E.C.?

    A Super Friends Apache Chief reference on the Chip Kelly thread? It’s things like this that have kept me reading along this thousand page journey. Although Harvey Birdman has distorted my childhood memories of the Chief. :D

    Who did he develop? He did nothing with Tebow. Fitzgerald is average at best. Who else and what did he do to develop them.

    That may be true but Space X does not and they really like UF's engineering program.
