    Sounds plausible. If Kelly is playing the 2 schools against each other, then I would expect a lot of back and forth at the end.

    However, I hope that since we are publicly calling his bluff, that a. it is a last ditch effort, b. They know Frost wants to be in Gville.

    You're not going to believe this...

    But I agree with you lol (except for the treating him like a discount coach part, SS is really trying to pony up whatever he needs to). He was also raised in Lincoln in addition to it being his alma mater. With the recruiting piece, Frost's time at UCF is all he needed for a pipeline to UF. He'll still have those relationships if he goes to Nebraska.

    UF UAA needs to come out and say, "We're pulling the offer and moving forward. Get off the Crapper, Chip."

    Force leverage and maintain posture. Maybe that's what they've done...

    If what I'm hearing and reading is true I don't want Chip Kelly. Yes, I said that.

    At this point I would like to get Kelly, not just to get Kelly, but to throw it back at the national self righteous hack keyboard jockeys.

    If Kelly doesn't want to be here, I mean Jesus Christ, he isn't the messiah. I can't imagine his demands at this point. Go get Norvell or what's his face out of Iowa St. I'd rather have someone who has a fire in their stomach instead of a roast and an ego.

    Screw the Fawbush kid Coco, Southern Cali is still under a severe smog warning after that burrito you ate out there in the 1940's.

    I feel like a kid expecting to get that huge new awesome whatever on Christmas morning. Only to find underwear and socks under the tree.

    The logic here is baffling. Kiffin got his shot in the NFL. He got fired. Kiffin got his shot at a major program. He got fired. How on earth does have have "elite coach potential" when those other guys do not? Your criticisms over those other coaches apply just as much to Kiffin.

    If we want a proven coach, we go Miles or Mullen.(assuming Gundy is a no) You bypass the upside. If we want a coach with potential, we go with Norvell, Campbell, or Taggart.(assuming Frost is a no) You don't go with Kiffin or Strong. They had their chances and failed. They have a lot more to prove before they get another chance.

    How the hell did UF screw this up?

    Having posture about your program and not cowering to one man and demands?

    Please.

    The UF brand is much larger and more important than ONE man.

    I hope this isn't just about money to Chip. I want someone who really wants to win and win big.

    I was thinking this before I read your post. My only concern is that of you are using it as leverage, (a) you potentially have given yourself only 2-3 hours of leverage (because then you will know whether SF will be coaching in the SAC championship game) and (b) SF will answer CK's texts about whether he is interested. Limits the leverage you can create with this leak.

    Yeah, that would be bush league. Can't imagine that's it, or CK would have already announced UCLA.
