you are correct about Ohio St. and Bama

I was referring to the open jobs
I think the pressure/expectation thing is a little over-hyped. I think most really good/great coaches like Kelly are very ego driven and put more pressure on themselves than fans/media. 

What Kelly probably doesn't like about Florida is the fish-bowl element to jobs like that and all the off-field stuff you have to do in jobs like that- the fundraising, the coaches shows and radio shows, and appearances and the mingling with donors & former players. And in Gainesville he's the biggest star in the city, he can't go into a grocery store, restaurant, pump gas- whatever without it being a problem. In LA? Nobody would even recognize him, know who he is or give two shits. At Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Florida- you have to deal with that crap to an insane degree that he just wouldn't have to deal with as much at a place like UCLA.

turns out they did fire him via phone while still on the field... any potential coach ought to take note of that...

RE: Drevno

Two years ago, and maybe even last year, I read that he was the best OL coach in the country. I read that here (well, not here, but there). And he was a great recruiter too.

Now the guy is toast. Lord help Don Browne if his D slips, even a little.

Funny how things work at helmet schools with helmet expectations.

Check back if he loses tomorrow or next weekend. The pressure at Florida is NOTHING compared to Columbus.

A couple places are saying UT and Chris Petersen... that's not a bad choice.  @jacdaniels posted it on the UT board, and there have been several articles on the web today saying same.
Tennessee is a fine program,great fans,Volunteer Navy,Gnl Neyland,best whiskey and all that.But if I had to listen to "Rocky Top" 5 X a quarter I'm sticking an ice pick in my ears

If I were Kelly I'd go to UCLA
If I were Frost I'd stay at UCF
If I were Gruden I'd stay in the booth
If I were Riley I'd retire
all good gigs

This is just an ignorant statement.

Odd that if Frost to UNL is a done deal, why he'd agree to meet with FL (or have his ppl meet with FL).  

What good is it to be the consensus "best job opening" if your top 2 picks don't choose you?  Ugh.

why I feel you never fire the sitting coach until you have the next coach signed sealed and delivered

Isn't Columbus the biggest city in OH?  Almost a million people?  You can't get lost in a million people?  

I get the SEC college towns - everyone knows where you live, so they know which grocery store you go to, and bother you when you're at restaurants, etc.....but I wouldn't predict that stuff in a city well over 150,000 people.....

well, don't fire a guy like Pelini that is winning

but, a guy like Riley that gives you your worst season in over 55 years.......... he needs to go even if you can't sign a guy on your top 5 list

#11 or 12 can do better
