Was on CBS checking scores and they ran this:

Yahoo's Pat Forde reported Saturday that Florida has "moved on" from Kelly. From the report:
Quote
Florida administrators met with Kelly on Sunday in New Hampshire and remained in contact with him earlier this week, but no deal was forthcoming between the two. Florida had kept its options open while engaged with Kelly and is now prepared to pursue those other candidates.
Forde goes on to report that with Kelly out of the picture, Florida is now focusing on UCF coach Scott Frost, who has led the Knights to a 10-0 start this season, and has his team in position for a New Year's Six berth.

Florida is meeting with Frost representatives this weekend.  I wouldn't say they've moved on from Kelly.  If Kelly calls them tomorrow and accepts the job, then he's the coach.  

In all likelihood, Kelly was in no hurry to sign, said he'd look at other jobs, and think about it.  Florida said we understand if you interview elsewhere and not take it as a 'no' to us, as we'll meet with other prospective coaches with the understanding we prefer you- type of thing.

apparently Kelly is owed $18.5 million combined for 2017, 2018, 2019 seasons from the 49ers and Eagles. Eagles & 49ers owe him money for 2017, and just the 49ers owe him money for '18 and 19. If he doesn't take a coaching job they'll have to fork him over that money. If he gets a coaching job, whatever he gets paid from his new employer the 49ers/Eagles don't have to pay him- and if it's more than what they owe him- he doesn't get paid anything at all.

If he signs a fat deal with UF/UCLA for like $30 million over 4 or 5 years- Eagles/49ers are off the hook. Financially it probably makes more sense for him to wait it out. Collect his free $18.5 million and then take a job.

i've said this before and was shot down, but not enough to change my mind:

these guys are financially comfortable and have none of the concerns most of us do... they aren't driven by $$$ as much as they are competitiveness and ego.  possible hires like Frost or Norvall may in fact be awestruck by the cash, but founded guys like Kelly, Miles, Mullen, (and from there 'up')?  I just don't think the money is the primary concern (except where it relates to ego).

I agree with you for the most part.

It's just...not very many opportunities in life to get paid 18.5 million dollars to do absolutely nothing. If I have that opportunity I'm taking it. Lol.

Chip definitely has to have some money stashed away. Not sure it's enough to turn down $18.5 million for doing nothing. Not like he's worth $100 million. I'd be surprised if he's worth more than 20 million after all the agents/lawyers/taxes he's had to pay out.

Kelly's already been doing nothing, you know he's bored.  

I love the "Florida talks to Frost" article listing Holgerson and Leach as potential coaches for UF......in what universe?!?

USA Today just posted an article like 30 mins ago that said their sources say Kelly has flat out turned down Florida.

Who knows what to believe. If Kelly is truly out- gonna be an all out war between Nebraska and Florida for Scott Frost. Who does Frost pick in that situation?

UF demands of Frost: points that = wins
UN demands of Frost: come home and do what you do. 

point being, his leash will be hellaciously shorter at Florida i'd wager, where Nebraska is likely to offer time to do what he has done down south.  He's bound to know that and that has to weigh heavy in his decision.  at UF he's up against schools, yeah- but he's more importantly up against fans that are a lot more unforgiving.  When he made his choice to coach, he likely dreamed of returning home... so long as there isn't a huge difference in $$$, i wager he heads home.  

and leach is exactly the type of coach i could see on the UF sideline... he fits their culture.

... and big bret is officially whacked now.... 

edited to add: 

it's being said he was cut loose even before leaving the field... he received a call while still on the dang field... if true, that's about unprofessional as it gets and stupid- sending message to whomever would possibly coach there.  

does Nutt return?

right lol. Lots of openings.

Arkansas, UCLA, Florida, Tennessee are all open. Texas A&M and Nebraska are virtual locks to be open really soon. That's 6 pretty good jobs. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Ohio State DC Greg Schiano get one of those jobs.

speaking of Schiano- had he never left Rutgers- where is that program today? Instead of being a laughing stock and people being mad about the B1G adding them- my guess is they'd have been a top 25-30 program year in year out and one hell of an addition. Part of me would love to see him wind up back there and stay there for the rest of his coaching career- he's only 51.
