Could you imagine if they are having the halftime show at the basketball game tonight and then the lights go out, the enterance music hits, and then Chip Kelly is at center court.

I don't know who Scooter Stickman is, but our new AD Dash Riprock seems to be making a splash!

Thought our AD was named Shooter McGavin

That makes sense. But my understanding is that there were certain assistant coaches who were directly involved in that 7 on 7 deal, whereas Chip was liable only for failing to be on top of the situation. I doubt he would include those particular coaches on his list of requested assistants, and if he did, surely he'd have to understand if UF said no thanks on those guys.

That's my thought too. I would assume both parties have a pretty good idea who might be an issue and I find it had to imagine Kelly would demand any of the guilty parties be on his staff, or even wanting to work with those guilty parties anymore for that matter. Sounds to me like this is just a matter of due diligence and that any parties not cleared would be eliminated.

Well, if "I coached Ray Lewis" doesnt impress a high school LB then nothing will. They all know who he is.

It has impressed the 3*, that's for sure

Awwwww I got busy and missed 300

Gatuar · Nov 16, 2017

This is like those guys that live on a billboard in protest ...we will keep this going until we hire Chip!

largartos · Nov 16, 2017

Meanwhile, down here in sunny Costa Rica, we can pass the time as we wait for the announcement.

This thread is bursting at the seams... Sometimes this too.

Sounds reasonable. They might be looking for the best PR timing for the announcement in addition to actually wrapping up details. Starting took look like early Saturday might be the biggest exposure to drop the announcement officially. Friday p.m. is usually a wasteland.

I think this makes a lot of sense. If true, i wonder how long said vetting would take.....i wouldn't think too long. I keep going back to if Chip is the guy this should get done fairly quickly to help with recruiting, the longer it goes the less confident I am that Chip will be the guy. This kind of thinking gives me renewed hope.

If we don't get Kelly I am going to feel more let down then my girlfriend does after sex.

...with the Dazzlers, and he then does a coordinated dance routine with them that culminates with a full-court tumbling run ending in a forward flip off a trampoline and a THUNDEROUS TWO-HANDED DUNK!!!

A couple things I’m piecing together from a friend who’s an insider on the TOS:
They are going to work out every detail possible before announcing.
-Kelly is expected to bring Tom Gamble from Michigan in a player personnel role. Gamble worked with Chip in Philly and SF.
-Kelly will have a massive budget for assistants and secondary staff
-Kelly is very demanding and detailed in terms of the infrastructure he needs to do what he wants to accomplish here. It’s going beyond a stand alone facility.If you’ve read anything about Kelly, you’ll know that he’s big on informatics which is lacking in CFB. He thinks he can really expose this inefficiency in CFB . In other words, Kelly is a football mad scientist and wants to make sure UF provides the lab materials.

-Spurrier has come around on Kelly

Also,From Neil Blackmon on bill king this AM:
-expect Seider to be retained and maybe Brad Davis
-President Fuchs and Stricklin are enamored with Randy Shannon and would like him to stay on in some fashion. It’s ultimately up to Chip what role RS would have the program. Many expect RS to leave if he’s given a role that doesn’t involve him being an on the field coach.

Uf has been heavily negotiating a liquided damages provision in the event Chip lands UF on probation.

If this is true, and I have NO reason to doubt you, I'm getting very stoked and really can wait patiently......

No not patiently....

Most excellent news! Dilly Dilly!

Truth, I was looking forward to Miller until the stupid CC crap. He looked like the next Davis.

Yes, you are correct. That's his name. Sigmund Stickleaner. Not sure why people are continually confused by this?
