    Tilly, if I may field that last question some people thrive on being a negative douchebag and aren't happy unless pissin' in somebody's cornflakes.

    A dynamic QB that wasnt recruited as a QB by any other big time school? Pretty sure that isn't luck my friend. To sit here and undersell what Taggart did at USF is pure ignorance, and I'm tired of seeing it.

    Willie Taggart took a USF program that had kids completely checked out, a team that got blasted at home vs Lousiana Monroe, and was muddled in complete dispair after Skip Holtz ran the entire thing into the ground. I was saw it with my own two eyes what he did there.

    If Charlie Strong who some laughable are propositioning as our coach wouldn't have screwed with Taggarts scheme, they would be undefeated right now, and rolling. Just 3 years removed from one of the worst dumpster fires I've ever seen in the game

    He can't force Chip to sign and what process do you want? Be told of his plans? When has a school ever let it be known of the process? Just go away again.

    That is so small minded and ignorant that I can not come up with a witty condemnation. So let's just leave that comment as small-minded and ignorant. Okay?

    Got a kid that no one else wanted sounds like huge luck to get that production. If you are tired of the ignorance, stop coming around.

    I'm sorry, I really am and I'm trying not to be a jerk about it, but this is a ridiculous statement. To think that no one has any information (you said "any of it") is a preposterous idea. From time to time in my life, I have had insider information, and sometimes I have posted it here. I quit doing that years ago because I kept getting castigated by these kinds of people after I had been excited to share news with my Gator brethren, come to the site, and posted it, only to be ridiculed.

    One night I got a phone call at home from one of Ron Zook's assistant coaches asking me to go online and refute what I had posted because they were trying to recruit a kid at a position that I had posted was "full". I had gotten that information from another assistant that morning in the coaches' offices, and ASKED the coach if I could share the info and was told "yes. we will not be recruiting any more DTs" before I posted it. I agreed to go online to sort of refute what I had posted (best I could without lying or giving away my source), and found one "expert" after another making fun of my "insider" information, just like you see on every page of this thread. That was the day I said "Fine. Just keep stumbling around in the dark, ye castigators," and have never posted another bit of insider information - and don't plan to ever again.

    I have a great source on this Chip Kelly thing. A great source. Someone "inside the room", so to speak; and it has been a hoot watching this thread. Who knows until the announcement - even after the announcement? Remember Glen Mason was introduced as the UGA coach at a well-covered press conference and then backed out. Billy Donovan likewise with the Magic. There are no guarantees.

    I cannot confirm the stuff that Darren Heitner has posted today (the agreement before the USC game, etc.), but you can bet I'm asking my souce about it as soon as I speak with him again. Regardless, we should all be appreciative of what he and others (Tilly, Trill, etc.) have shared. They are excited to share what they know, and they are doing a great job. I don't blame ANYONE for being skeptical, but to make a joke out of people just because Chip Kelly or someone at UF has changed their mind, or simply changed the timing of the announcement, really hurts this site. At least I have hung around. Many, many great sources of information through the years have been hurt by the way they have been treated and simply disappeared.

    Guess SS tweeting funny pics and telling everybody to relax while very publicly whiffing on his first choice, and letting his staff leak information to insiders is a great job by the AD? Real competence there.

    I speak about the above from the view of us whiffing. Still riding with the insiders who are connected, and they aren't to blame if this falls through. The man who can't control the process he's in charge of, or the people he employees leaking things, is at fault, and he would need to pay with his job.

    Mac was fired by SS for embarrassing our brand, would be interested to hear how this wouldn't be way more damaging than some made up pity comments Mac made.

    Don't rush to the ledge. Turned the title back a tiny bit. My apologies, but that is what the system is saying.
    FWIW, some in the know disagree with me doing this, so it may jump back as quickly as it jumped down.

    Mullen might be a huge upgrade but not enough of an upgrade. Hope your future stars don't include willie.

    No I will just point it out when I see somebody who glanced at a Wikipedia page, and saw a coaches record and has no context or understanding of what went into it. Like you yourself did.

    Hope we don't have to talk about Taggart

    Hope we are all celebrating Chip come Sunday

    Tilly can I get a look at the full scale? Does it get hotter than Peter Warrick at Dillards?
