Hey, Hernandez was from Connecticut....

Fla/FL ST/Mia have boatloads of kids always getting in serious trouble.

Chip Kelly to UCLA

smart move

great hire. Chip is a great coach.
My only thing though is this- with the kind of pro-style QB's in UCLA's back yard every year, makes me question the move a little bit. Just a tiny little bit. Still think it's a great hire and Chip will do good things there.

Josh Rosen was probably 98% off to the NFL anyway, but that hire just put it at 100%. That hire might open up Michigan to landing top rated prep pro style QB's out of Cali like they did in the 90s and 2000s. USC can't take them all and they probably aren't going to want to play in that style of offense at UCLA. Just one less home team to compete with improves their odds that much more.

I'm sure there are a few VERY good QBs in southern Cali that fit Chip's offense

he will get them and he will run a great offense

as for the Tom Brady type protos in LA........... I'm sure Chip would rather have them land in the Big Ten than across town or anywhere in the PAC

Yeah, kinda agree with Badge. 

Florida has only ever been great under 2 coaches. 

Ohio State has basically always been great since the 1950s. 

Cooper was 11-1 damn near every year and they fired him because that 1 loss was to Michigan. 

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.

He had a rep as a great OL coach. He'd been the OL coach at Stanford when they were a run oriented team and had lots of linemen drafted. He then was with the 49ers as OL coach when they were leading or close to leading the NFL in rushing damn near every year.

USC fans were upset he was leaving to go to Michigan because he had turned around their young OL. USC fans seemed to really like him.
Drevno had never been an OC or involved in game planning the offense. He coached OL and he did it pretty well.

I think the problem might lay with the mismash of voices/schemes going on in that offense. Rumors are part of the reason Jedd Fisch and Wheatley left- didn't get along with Drevno and both wanted more hand in the offense. Drevno is Harbaugh's guy. Been with him since U of San Diego days. He turned Harbaugh down at first to leave USC. My guess is Harbaugh had to offer him an OC title to get him. Fisch and Wheatley weren't his guys.

Issue could be that Drevno is in a little bit over his head as OC and OL coach. Harbaugh went out and brought in Greg Frey to be a co-OL coach. Both were known for running completely different blocking schemes and recruiting completely different style of linemen. Maybe that's why the OL has had some hiccups this year? Two different OL coaches on two different pages. 

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.....

In Columbus no. 
BC is where you could live the good life. Get paid $2-3M/year, live in Boston (not my fav city but fun) and never get noticed. 

should Florida miss out on Kelly and Frost, where do they turn next? Dan Mullen? Greg Schiano? Les Miles? Mike Leach?

FWIW, while he was out of coaching--between Texas Tech and Wazu--Leach lived at least part-time in Key West.
