Re: Rumor: Chip Kelly will be new HC at Florida
UF is the kind of program that believes they should be competing for NC every year (like we do). The new coach's #1 job will get them to doing that.
I agree, but the ole ball coach is their Bear Bryant so the new coach will have to figure out how to balance having him as a living legend and then making his own name of fame.

That said, Chip Kelly is supposedly very Saban-like - complete and total control, won't give an inch - so I suspect he's one of the few that could handle the 'meddling' and minimize the distraction.
Agreed - especially when it's his name on the home field.

Re: Rumor: Chip Kelly will be new HC at Florida
To be more blunt, I think that he would likely tell Spurrier to get lost if he started meddling.
Re: Rumor: Chip Kelly will be new HC at Florida
A good coach with all the talent The state of Florida produces should have them in competition for a NC almost every year, that is once Saban retires of course!
Re: Rumor: Chip Kelly will be new HC at Florida
I think Kelly would be one of the VERY, VERY few coaches (if hired) that Spurrier would have some form of respect for and probably keep his nose out of the room unless truly asked by Kelly.

How is winning 1 National Title make you a living legend? Did UF win a lot yes, but always came up short except for 1 time. Sorry in my book 1 NC does not make a legend, just my opinion. To me there are only a hnd ful of Legendary college coaches and psurrier is not one of them.
Re: Rumor: Chip Kelly will be new HC at Florida
Whether we consider him a legend is immaterial.
He is THEIR Bear Bryant - heck, the field is named after him. He brought UF their first NC and made them who they are today.
Whether we consider him a legend is immaterial.

He won the Heisman there.
He turned the program around.
He won a national title.
He won 6 SEC titles.
He averaged 10 wins a season at Florida.
Pretty clear why they love him so much.

But he only beat Bama once in four years and had the worst loss since 1948.
Re: Rumor: Chip Kelly will be new HC at Florida
Spurrier is arguably the 3rd best coach in the history of the SEC. Chizik ... c'mon man. You're not getting anywhere with this argument.

Just got back in from work......no word yet I guess. Hopefully still working on details of contract.

High-z-man trophy winner who came back and won a National Title as the coach. Smells like a lifetime movie network hit.

I did not say Spurrier was not a very good coach, but his record to me is not of LEGENDARY status. I can think of 4 or 5 coaches over the decades that did much more, and I do not say legend casually. I think there are maybe 4 legendary college coaches. And in my book Spurrier is not on that list. I put him with Bowden, many wins one title and always seems to lose the ONE a yr that seperates good from great or Legendary.

As long as this is taking to get a contract nailed down, it is starting to look like it may all get axed and they will have to get someone else.

Re: Rumor: Chip Kelly will be new HC at Florida
How on earth are you missing what was said? The poster you responded to said he was their Bear Bryant, that's it - you're the one making it into a discussion as to whether he's one of the all-time greats...
