    FWIW...Jonathan Vilma said that Kelly was reaching out to him to go to UCLA and maybe Florida. And this was before the Kelly to UF smoke. So the story of Kelly reaching out to assistants regarding UCLA is definitely true, but it also could be misinformation depending on the timeline, which is not provided with this story.

    If Kelly provided a list of assistants to be vetted to UF, then Kelly had probably already contacted them before all this drama started happening. You have to remember everyone knew UCLA was going to be open. No one knew UF was going to be open.

    FWIW, I know Jon would rather be at Florida; I do not believe he will be coaching next year, though.

    Son, after 60 yrs, dozens of countries, and 4 continents of rabble rousing I know what embarrassing is and this thread ain't even close.

    Vilma had this conversation before they fired Mora I believe, maybe it's just me but I think UCLA had a "deal" with Kelly then they booted Mora. I don't have any inside sources, I am more of a timeline kind of guy.

    With Charlie you can expect a Muschamp like defense , if we could be top 30 in offense that’s a strong combo

    I’m starting to think a Frost, Norvell or Mullen who jumps at the chance to coach UF is better than having Chip got my back and forth not knowing where to go. That’s assuming that portion of the timers is true.

    Exactly. Notice there’s was no mention of WHEN he asked anyone about going to UCLA.

    What's the story on Norvell? Is he riding Fuente's coattails at Memphis, or is he an excellent coach in his own right?
