Beating OU in Norman was a long shot even with a full compliment of players, but with Grier out I expect us to get destroyed and probably lose whatever bowl we go to as well. Holgs gave up calling the plays this year and our offense can put up big numbers but so much of that is Grier making something happen. We have no dedication to the run whatsoever and without the star QB we will struggle to score. Not a big fan of Spavital. Holgs had us evolving into a balanced team that could grind it out on the ground and we have severely regressed in that department under the new OC.

Rhom Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Just heard on radio that Chip Kelly interviewed met with with UCLA yesterday and is expected to choose between the Bruins or Florida and isn't considering any other schools. Kelly has always seemed like a west coast guy to me and I just don't see him being a cultural fit in Gainesville. Thoughts @Kalbear? @Triskele? Edit: revised the language regarding meet up with UCLA to be more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Chip is much more a new Englander than a West coast guy. He's a good coach who doesn't care about boosters, doesn't play recruiting games and does not like it, and genuinely takes the kids sides. I think he would be an amazingly entertaining disaster at Florida. I think he would be fairly successful at UCLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 There are two major disqualifiers for being the head coach at Florida. One is "not being Steve Spurrier". The other is "being Steve Spurrier". Florida is one of those schools whose fans think the school/team is far, far more important than the rest of the nation/game/world thinks it is.

Florida is a bit of a Johnny Come Lately in the landscape of college football. They have had precisely two good coaches, Spurrier and Meyer. Their fans seem to think they've been around a 100 years.

Kalbear Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Urban Meyer had a lot of success at Florida, but Florida wrecked him. It's saying something when Ohio State is more relaxing and chill than Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 10 minutes ago, Triskele said: I know that the word is that pursuing Kelly was why Mora got fired with a game to go, but that's about all I know. UCLA would be ecstatic to get Kelly. Everyone says that UCLA is a sleeping giant, so to speak, but they've failed to cash in on that potential so consistently for so long that I question whether it's really true. Kelly might be the final litmus test on that. If Florida doesn't get Kelly I wonder if they'll try to steal Frost from Nebraska. I still maintain that Nebraska hiring Mike Riley was one of the more bizarre hires I've ever seen. Nebraska may have to fire Riley sooner than they planned on if Florida doesn't get Kelly. Everything I've heard says that Frost is plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrum Aeternum Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Miss State sources reporting Dan Mullen is interviewing with Tennessee today. Mullen is a confirmed toolbag, but is also a pretty decent coach who typically does more with less. Can't say I blame him for wanting to high tail it out of Starkville.

Ramsay B. Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 And they have brought in their back-up QB to try and make the comeback with 10 minutes left. Talk about an odd decision. ETA: Holy shit. The Pitt QB just tried to give the game away but it turned into a huge 1st down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
