Thanks for all the supportive posts, guys.
In retrospect, I think those who were skeptical of how Coach Kelly would have done at Florida were probably right.
I have to admit....the thought of a younger coach like Coach Frost coming in is pretty exciting.
Not sure if it will happen but we'll see.....
RTR and GG! :smile:
Florida definitely dodged a ballet. If not a defensive danse macabre...Consider yourself lucky Bazza.
Don't make the same mistake we made in 2006.Florida misses on Kelly, and now it looks like a miss on Frosrt. Uh oh for Gators.... where to go now. I think they go for Charlie Strong.
Someone I know that played there has said until they leave the Big 10 and go back to the Big 12, no coach can win there. Too hard to recruit. Their TX pipeline has closed up. Parents have a 12-15 hour drive to to get to most games. In the Big 12, less than 6 to most, 8 to Lincoln. Last I asked they were not sold on Frost at all.I know sources close to Frost said earlier that if Nebraska comes calling...it would be extremely hard to turn them down. This was per gameday so....Florida may have to dig a little deeper
Actually after that miss we hit a Grand Slam in the bottom of the 9th down 3 runs with 2 outs and 2 strikes. Remind me to send Rita her yearly Christmas gift as a big Thank you. We Alabama fans really appreciate Rita. As a side note on the kind of class President Moore had after the snub. He was transparent, didn't try to deny we after Rich Rod, instead he wished him the best and told the Alabama faithful he would get the best coach available to lead the Alabama program. Boy did he ever deliver on that promise.Don't make the same mistake we made in 2006.
We didn't make a mistake in 2006. Rich Rod wasn't hired.Don't make the same mistake we made in 2006.
Have you heard from your friend as to why the Kelly deal fell through? Was it UCLA popping up or something else?Can't post anything directly yet as it would be a direct link to my guy, but I'm hearing that UF will announce Chip Kelly as new HC, possibly as early as this evening, and that the principle agreement has been signed. Supposedly rock solid on this.
FWIW, for the new folks - we don't allow rumors regarding Alabama, but do allow rumors about other SEC programs, within reason. The guy I know from UF has been rock solid from day one - he's plugged in. IOW I'd bet my own money on this one if I were a betting man...
Remember that UCLA still had a head coach when CA's source was saying that the deal was all but done. UCLA probably pulled that trigger so quickly because they knew that the Kelly ship was about to sail.Have you heard from your friend as to why the Kelly deal fell through?
