    Even Trump is mad about this. He said today that he should let those three UCLA basketball players stay in jail.

    Probably not. Schools like UF and UCLA that actually turn a profit on football generally don't dig into funds on the academic side of the house for coaches. That money would more than likely have to come strictly from the athletic side of the house.

    They probably do have money because their program makes money, and I'm sure there are also plenty of booster dollars coming in.

    If Stricklin misses on this, his tenure is over before it ever really began.

    Do I think we will sign Kelly? Yes.

    If we don't, I've never been more sure of financial consequences to our football program

    I understand the sentiment and don't disagree it can be viewed as worrisome. The widespread thought is that Chip pursued UF and reach out first, UCLA's coach getting fired has been looming since before then.

    If he wanted to go to UCLA why wouldn't he just wait for Mora to get canned and then call them? I think as his agent you should at least hear them out, if nothing else than to be professional and keep a clean face. That's his job.

    Just as in free agency players talk to multiple teams, recruits visit multiple campuses. At the end of the day I have faith the better situation, and the one that's farthest along will win out.

    Have faith everyone!

    Given Foley’s tenure and now this we have to start questioning the UAAs commitment to having a championship quality football team

    Let’s be honest, all the signs are there that it fell through between us and Chip. It’s no coincidence UCLA abruptly did this, something is up. Oh well, we need to let this go and get behind our future coach Dan Mullen.

    That is what I meant.
    Even Dr. Dre gave them millions of dollars.
    UCLA is going to sign Kelly this week.
    Bank on it.

    [Been thinking about it all week. ......what is making Seider continue recruiting trips if there isn't an alterior motive? I'm guessing, but I strongly suspect a connection with CK gang. A silent communications by someone in the CK group would really want to reach out to a very fitting commit class for 18. Also, Zo hints very good coach is staying, I again suspect Seider. It seems a quite persuasive fit to me.....fwiw[/quote]

    Yeah, another coach that would make me quit watching football. I would love to have someone who whined their ass off about our program be the face of the team

    Yeah sure buddy - all of us posting here and laughing our butts off for 530+ pages, celebrating together every time we hit another century mark in our post count, are "in low spots in our lives". LMAO

    But in my occasional attempt to be a good guy, I'll try to help out with your little problem here. Hint: it has something to do with the word "seriously" in your post. Taking yourself too seriously is a route to disappointment -- taking this thread seriously will mess you up completely.

    Pop the cap on one of the good beers recommended dozens of pages earlier and kick back and enjoy the wait for the CK announcement as best you can. Another helpful hint: stay clear of page 136. You'll be thanking me for that.

    By the ESPN video about Chip being asked about the UF job, ESPN is enjoying our thread also.
    I think that was pure set up and ESPN knows what is really going on and trying to troll us.

    "According to many sources" blah blah

    Well, according to many sources, CK is about to be a Gator.

    These guys got nuthin'. This story writes itself immediately after a new firing.
