    I don't think that was much of a consideration to toss Mac. Had to be done when it was. SS wisely seized that opportunity.

    I have ZERO insider info. Again, NO CONNECTIONS but I think we're not getting Kelly. Just my gut. I'm also not upset at Stricklin. He tried. The only reason this is the circus it is stems from the media and social media frenzy. None of this crap came from our AD or school. Let's hope SS can close a deal with a guy we can rally behind. I think he is aware of the importance of this hire.

    Update:

    Hearing that Forde's article is NOT accurate, we have NOT moved on from Chip - offer still stands.
    But Chip is demanding more at the very last minute.
    SS has given everything asked for in principal agreement, CK asking for more at the buzzer - SS may have had enough of the back and forth.
    This is not a scenario where UF hasn't laid it all out.
    That is where the ESPN report of moving to push for Frost come from, who has still not talked to any teams yet.
    That report may be a leak to force CK to shit or get off the pot.
    The thing with Frost is it would be a war with Nebraska who is likely willing to give him whatever.
    This weekend remains as deadline for it going either way.

    This thread is going to haunt us if Kelly is indeed not our next coach.

    HUGE risk here is that if true and we also whiff on Frost, it will be very bad

    It is hilarious that approx 2 days before the end of the UF season and assumed announcement of a new HBC, that "articles" come out that Florida has "moved one" etc.

    How so? Only one guy in play. Looks like the dude didn't want the gig. I've never been forced to take a job. You?

    Even our own reports (e.g. Edgar @ Orlando Sentinel are saying Florida has moved on). That is in addition to multiple national media sources...no longer insiders and random bloggers. Not sure what is really happening but these articles are a LOT different from others this week.

    Generally no coach is more important than the program. But certainly a coach that has never won a game at your school is not.

    Then why did he fly the President there? That was dumb as hell and makes you a laughing stock if you don't have an agreement already and Kelly turns us down..

    Scott Frost would be foolish to stay at UCF after this year. He has taken them as far as they can go. Undefeated and not even in the top-10. They have a junior college stadium and facilities and don't play in a major conference. This is a great year to get a job at a major program.

    Stay at UCF and build what? No conference championships. No National championships. So what would he build? easy wins?

    Just give him what he wants. If he wants a freaking Death Star, give it to him. I'm not understanding the hangups here.

    But whatever, Kelly or no Kelly, we're the Florida Gators. We'll be fine.

    Chip dominated the negotiations. F it and him and give frost a blank check. Give frost whatever he wants and blow anyone else out of the water.
