    It’s more than that. He constantly rips the fan base, paints the program in a bad light on national talk shows and goes out of his way to glorify Georgia football. Also rips the Journalism dept at UF. He is very bitter towards UF

    If he gets paid millions, wins, and doesn't have a crazy fan base expecting Alabama success, then it's about as good of a job as one can expect.

    Yeah he said about a month or so ago that Florida fans were the most spoiled fan base in CFB who could never be pleased. His mentions on Twitter were very entertaining

    Saw some ESPN guy ask Chip Kelly about the Florida job...it was awkward, they mentioned the plane flight data, he awkwardly skirted the issue and then said that the Gator Job was one of the best gigs out there...something like that. Someone see that too...?

    Go Gators.

    Telling of what? Where did he go to HS, maybe Chip will take that job for less pressure, after all his agent attended there, must be a shoe in.

    If you're talking about the interview on the tarmac that was not a reporter, just a guy from the r/FloridaGators subreddit.

    BTW going back to the fishbowl comment, I see it 2 ways. Either you’re in a fishbowl because the school has been successful or you’re not because the school has sucked. If CK makes any unsuccessful P5 program good, it will become a fishbowl. Oregon was becoming a fishbowl. That’s the nature of fanbases and interest. The SEC is an extra level of crazy but that’s the price of coaching in the most passionate competitive region in the country. Football is religion. He seems to also be religious about football so I would think that’s a good fit.

    True. He might not be up for the challenge. He might want a fanbase that doesn't give a shit.

    Well, if they're naturally "perky" it's less likely they'll be altered with implants. But that said, give me naturals anyway, perky or not

    Seems to me UCLA fired Mora at the time they did in a desperate effort to make a play for Chip. Perhaps Chip told his UCLA alum agent he would at least listen to the offer...but the job had to be vacant...smells like a panic move by UCLA.
