Maybe Kelly isn't #1 on UF's list.  Anyone who is currently coaching, you have to wait to even talk to.

On the other side of the coin, Kelly is in no hurry.  Wait it out, see what jobs open up.  Hell, he might be waiting to see if Taggert goes somewhere so he can go back to Eugene for all we know.

The one thing I do know, for sure, is that Tennessee fans are.....special people.  And sort of creepy.

I do feel confident that Florida will get who they want - I don't believe UCLA or Tennessee will steal anyone from the Gators.  Frost may take the UNL job, because 'mama calls' but other than that - I like our situation.

The radio guys in Gville have been making another great point - 3 years ago, the coaching choices weren't great at all.  This year, there's MUCH more to choose from, both in quality and quantity.

Call me crazy, but I could see Florida convincing Spurrier out of retirement for a couple of years to stabilize the program.

If he didn't have to recruit perhaps.He's in a good place so does he want the challenge over the head aches?Regarding Kelly he has a lot of contract money coming from Eagles/Niners.He might take a gig for less cash

I think Kelly is gonna be at UCLA. That is why they fired Mora today.

I think most Florida fans prefer Kelly, but we have a group in mind, and if we get any of that group, we'll be good to go.  Kelly, Mullen, Frost.

Better than obsessing about one guy who's never shown interest and hasn't coached in 10 years.....

I think any of those 3 guys would be a really good hire for Florida. All run pretty similar style wide open offenses that feature QB runs.
Chip Kelly would definitely be the big media praise winning hire- but I think the best fit for Florida might actually be Mullen. Mullen has helped develop Josh Harris, Alex Smith, Tim Tebow, and Dak Prescott. He's coached the last 13 years in the SEC, recruited the southeast and the state of Florida extensively and he's taken over a doormat Mississippi State program that was basically a 3-9 or worse team every single year for the last 40 years and aside from that awful 1st year and last year when he had to replace Dak has had them hovering at 8-9 wins. That's not easy to do playing the SEC West. If it was in the SEC East- which is really poor like the B1G West- that'd be one thing- but he'd been doing it in the toughest division in CFB.

Florida officially met with Kelly in New Hampshire.  We'll see where that goes.  My biggest, selfish plus with Kelly is that he could be hired tomorrow.  

All this waiting for other coach's seasons to end sucks.

Lots of chatter out there about Chip Kelly announcing Sunday.

To UCLA.

He should go where he wants to go.  UF still has 2 eggs in its basket if he goes to UCLA.  

Now Frost may go to UNL and Mullen might stay put with a hefty raise....and that's when I'll think, "well shit...," but not until then.
