    Many people are unable negative meaning words. So when you said I am not willing to say done deal, they only heard done deal.

    NOW maybe there are some light bulbs turning on. So....Kelly was going to be a one-man mastermind? Nope, he was/is trying to get THE best talent together before he says "yes". So who is Taggart? All I know is he gets Florida, has a nice resume (not the home run we all crave but no one else is either except in our own minds), is young and so he is energetic and he would LOVE to get the job. I say talk to him about his plan and how he expects to get there from where we are currently and see whether it makes sense. My guess is that Foley did NOT do that with Mac and instead relied on others' opinions.

    Will Taggart be great? Who the heck knows but I can damn be sure that he is going to hit the road running like CRAZY. And that doubly includes hiring the correct fit assistants. JMHO

    Okay so I am at Scott Frost's house with the stolen Brinks truck with $22million in it. Does anybody know the code for the gate?

    I feel today is going to get even weirder (if that is possible) with all the rumors and articles claiming they know something. Add Chip Kelly being on ESPN 2 for his segment and the regular season ending for all the programs involved for his potential services.
    And if you are in the minority and still whining about the info you have gotten on this board from @tilly or @BenTrillGriffin then bring us some real time information instead of being critical of people just trying to share info. We all have the ability to listen, but understand things change especially with this guy.

    You can't be a great athletic program director and be an awful football director at the same time. He's awful, PERIOD.

    Just like you can't say the head of the Chinese Olympic program is a great director. Won a bunch of medals in side sports that nobody cares doesn't make him a great.

    The problem is we don’t know if the information we have been provided here by the two mentioned above is any more REAL than anything I type out here.

    You keep saying this. If so when will it be announced? Sunday or Monday?

    What about all the Frost talk?

    I just hope we have our ducks in a row now that kelly is looking like a very mild maybe. Early signing period is less than a month away, and I just can't imaging starting from scratch and having a quality coach by then.

    Fuente not leaving VaTech. He wouldn’t even listen if SS called. That is the reality. Norvell on the other hand...

    That is why you have the ability to read the information and make an educated decision as to what you believe, but there is no reason to call them out. Don't take the information as gospel. I have read every step of the way was he can always back out. If you were skeptical about the information you had every right to be. Kelly's past has made him seem very flighty. There are some last night calling them liars. no need for that. I for one want as much info as I can get, but will not take anything as gospel. I appreciate your opinion.

    I will honestly say that I don’t know anything, I just refuse to waffle. I’m tired of ‘temperature changes’ and excuses. I said CK will be our coach when this all started and I’ll say it until he’s in front of another team’s step and repeat, but hopefully he’ll be in front of ours. Everything is speculation and I’m not going to fold just because ‘sources’ are saying the outcome could be different than what I predict. I’m sticking to my guns and if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. If Chip Kelly is not our coach at the end of this, I do believe he never intended to be or we never intended for him to be.

    I’m not the biggest Foley fan, but saying the guy was awful is just denying the facts. He was in charge while we won 3 FB NC’s and 2 in BB. He was also responsible for championship coaches in Softball and Baseball. I don’t follow all the non revenue sports as closely as some here, but I do know we won many, many SEC and NC’s in those sports. His tenure as AD at one of the premier Universities in the US was clearly successful. He missed on 3 Football Coaches, mishandled the end of Meyer’s tenure and was wrong on football facilities. But, compared to AD’s at our rivals, he was spectacular. And then compare him nationally and he’s better than 95%.

    While being in total agreement with the sentiment of this post let us examine the thread. While I have refrained from calling anyone out or liers, I have questioned the ‘inside’ sources. I just want to have an honest exchange of information and opinions. There are some here that are trying to have it both ways. Too claim insider statues but when the info that was provided proves to be incorrect don’t like to be call d out on it. BHT has been very open and honest I believe as has Tilly.
