    What coach has won here, and won big running the pro? If you want NC's, we need a HC that'll break the score board, kick ass and take names.

    Was he an EE? If not there’s probably something else going on with this. Makes no sense to decommit unless he was an EE.

    Kelly is too meticulous and successful of a coach for me to think he is just plain indecisive. I think he is probably an incredible negotiator and will do whatever is necessary to get what he wants. I still hold out hope that things will work out for the good guys.

    The other guy who keeps harping on "control" doesn't seem to be able to define what "control" it is that we're talking about. Do you have any insight in that area?

    There are coaches that won at UGA, Alabama, Miami, and FSU, but it's impossible to win here with a PS offense? Not buying it. I guess Saban couldn't win here?

    I posted the following several days ago and got toasted / roasted and deep fried by a few "Chip Kelly is a god" zombies but Kelly's ego seems to be on full display and not what we need.. If this thing fell apart because of King Kelly, it's a gigantic blessing in disguise!!!!
    What I wrote then ....Like many others my concern about Kelly has always been that he lakes integrity. Look at the awful way he treated Tebow in Philly. That's just one example of how he treats others. Couple that with a very strange, aloof personality, gigantic "small man" ego, hatred of recruiting and now possibly playing both ends against the middle and there are lots of red flags waving in the wind.

    'The pro" is a misnomer since most of the pros run some variant of a pass-first spread offense.

    But it's basically the same, correct? Nothing dynamic unless you just out talent your opponent.

    No one is disputing that. But anyone with common sense knows that in order to succeed, a coach has to have administration on the same page.

    Mac won at CSU. Zook won at Illinois (for a while)

    Texas is the most telling comparison to,Florida

    He was bad to Tebow in Philly? I do not remember.

    If that's the case then he can't come here. He has to move on.

    Yep, and after “sources” said he was only considering UF and UCLA he may have to consider a lesser program that MAY give him what he wants but won’t put him in position to get to the top of college football.
