So, your saying that if FL was 8-0 right now and he said that, he would be fired? Keep it real, man. That is pure fantasy. In this world, it is almost always about W/L.
You tell me. You and so many Mac fans keep hyping up his 2 Eastern division championships like they are major accomplishments.
See, that is different than what you said in the post to which I responded. Yes, it is an excuse for his firing - a red herring to throw the stink off of it. But the reality is that this is all about wins and losses.
Amen. Bring him - he'll be a Chip on the old chopping block in three years. His Philly fiasco - with his fingerprints on every aspect of it as elefantman noted - was prologue to what will go down for Chipper as an SEC coach. Of course he could also go to UcheaT if the Gators get Chucky first and replicate his 49ers' success story in turning that franchise around.

But he is either telling the truth, or he is not. If he is telling the truth, he isn't throwing them under the bus. He is shining a light on an ugly truth that needs to be exposed. It is that kind of stuff that destroyed many good programs - a win at all costs, throwing the victims under the bus as you go along.
He might struggle in the SEC, but I have no idea how failure in the NFL has anything at all to do with college football. Gene Stallings, Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier all had struggles in the NFL. Heck Daboll had one of the worst offenses in the NFL a couple of years and was out of work for years as an OC. Pointing to the NFL and going on he sucked in the NFL now he's going to suck in college just makes no sense to me. Especially when you're talking head coaches, where how you acquire players, how you handle them, etc... is so very different.
This is the main problem with the Mac love. How many Bama fans say “we were SECW champs in 93 and 96” when referring how good CGS was. Two years it was a whoopty doo feeling at making it to Bham and Atlanta. The truth is no real competitor wants to back into a championship because you are the best bad team, and you get slaughtered by a team that actually deserves to be there. I think had he beaten UGA yesterday there would still be trouble right now and he would still be gone. Florida wants to be competitors in Atlanta not participants.
Gene Stallings?
I'm not a Mac fan, and even if I was, his family is set for life. This is about why he was fired. He was fired for one reason - he wasn't winning enough, and there was no real hope that he ever would be. The rest of this stuff is just deflection and misdirection.
There has to be something on, that we do not know. CJM looks like he wants out, but wants to exit as the good guy. The story about death threats looks like a hoax. It gives ammo to the PTB, and he will get a jump on getting a job at a place that suits him. (Or maybe Mrs. Mac.) Who knows?
2009 Rivals Team Rankings:
Kelly's offense is not the same as the other three. Dublin has traditionally run a single back, air raid offense similar to what he learned from Joe Tiller and Mike Leach. Gus and Hugh have some similarities, though Gus likes to run a lot more than Freeze.
Remember though - his type of offensive players are not on campus at FL right now. The Gators would have to be willing to lose for a few years if they want someone like Kelly to have success running his offense there. In this era, is that even possible?
