So I was reading the Gator boards last night. Someone there posted why there may be reasons Florida had not hired Chip Kelly yet, as if he were the next head coach of the Gators wouldn't they have named him already? One of the thought this poster made was Chip Kelly was forcing the hand of other schools to make moves, one of those schools being UCLA. Kelly made it look like he was close to a deal with Florida so a school like UCLA started to fire their coach and create a more appealing opening to him. I could see Chip Kelly to UCLA way more than I could seeing him at Florida. Easier conference, less pressure, excellent recruiting grounds. Interesting stuff.

 

With that said, if Chip goes to UCLA, expect angry Gators to go hard at Frost. Think about it, they will need to save face, they would have excited their fan base up with Frost, then they learn they may not get Frost so they spin it that they are looking and close to a deal with Chip Kelly, get the fan base even more excited and fired up, only to get schooled by Chip, his agent, and UCLA. Gators will be aiming for Frost to try and keep the excitement going in Gainesville.

 

 

Angry UF fans is what I was talking about last week if they didn't finish the deal with Chip. I see Chip going to UCLA now that the job is open. He knows the region, recruits are right there in his backyard, he doesn't have the SEC/UF pressure on his back every week, good weather, and he dominated the conference already. UF should be very, very nervous.

Wishful thinking. I think things are starting to really heat up with Florida, UCF, and now the possibility UCLA is on the table, and Texas AM considering firing Sumlin and wanting Jimbo Fisher?

 

Just think things are heating up really fast and maybe so much movement that more cards are in play here and we do the most Nebraska thing ever and somehow miss out on Frost.

 

Thanks,

 

Welp. Buckle up guys, this just got a whole lot more interesting.

They aren't missing out on Frost since it has been in the works already. Moos is working to land the coach before he fires Riley. Same thing he did at Washington State.

Not at all, but what that could do is send Kelly to UCLA, Frost to Florida.

Frost to Florida is no longer. Strong will be their next target if Chip goes to UCLA.

Mora out at UCLA. That’s a school that scares me more than Florida in the Frost sweepstakes.

No, but it should make UF nervous as a person could get. That job is going to be one that Chip takes a serious look at. That is why people were saying it was dumb for UF not to close the deal last week.

Sharp and Benning continued to say last night that they thought that Nebraska would be the one to break the story on the new head coach very similar to the way the AD hire took place. In other words, they continue to believe it is going to be no one is talking about right now.

Oh Benning........

A lot of outdated info and poor speculation in most of the article. They will get their clicks and traffic though.

Ha knew you’d comment on this, stalker.

 

Weve been over this, it was better. Doesn’t matter how much better.

You mean like, the only thing Riley was recruiting? Skill position guys.

and not even filling the numbers either. It wasn't as good as people tried to make it seem. Not needing a QB and running back? WTF were they thinking?

IMHO, Frost will do fine in recruiting, probably pretty similar to Bo unless he can win big games.

 

He will have a hard time recruiting quite as well as Riley was though unless he retains a couple certain recruiters.

Bo vs Riley at the same time as coach at Nebraska Bo had a better start to the recruiting class than Riley did. People were thinking this class was so amazing but they didn't even realize taht Bo's class was better for the same length of time in the program (going into the season for both coaches). 

I expect much better skill talent and speed under Coach Frost.

Well, if I was a highly coveted dual-threat QB or a 5-star pass rusher & NU hired Frost, I'd be 'N' in a heartbeat... but that's just me.

Frost should recruit at a much higher level than most coaches at Nebraska since TO since kids like to play in a fun offense. He just needs to make sure his assistants are good recruiters.

What is VolFanRockyTop15 saying!??!??????

You are trolling. Not cool. 

Folks, don't put too much emotional investment into what UCF people say. Less than a week from now this will be over. 

Last year Houston had a billionaire booster saying he would personally pay for Tom Herman's salary. He still left to Texas. 

It is pointless to worry about what UCF fans are saying. THey are in full denial stage and have been for about a month now and are in full bashing mode.

Damon Benning asked a great question. Who leaked the information? It certainly wasn't Moos as he doesn't want others knowing what we've offered. The only one (besides someone inside UCF that shouldn't know any of this) with an incentive to leak it is Frost's agent (working to get more $$). Perhaps that is the reason Lars is sitting at 90% and not 100%?

I'm pretty sure at this stage that the numbers are already agreed too. It's just a formality at this point, IMO. 

I am surprised people are still talking about an obvious nondenail denial. 

That Lars guy says he is 90 percent sure Scott Frost comes and he stands behind the numbers he tweeted. That means he has agreed to the terms and just waiting to make it official on Friday night or Saturday. It is a home game so no time wasted flying back home. And Nebraska is at home too, and guess where the Nebraska basketball team has a game this week? At UCF. 

Less than a week and the Riley era will be over. Then Scott Frost gets hired. 

This team is going to look a lot different next year. People will be asking "how in the world did Riley do so bad with these same players" since a lot of the same players return. 

IMO - remove Lamar Jackson from the defense and put him at WR. Teach the OL how to actually play the game. Attack the LOS on defense. 

I don't know what this team does during the week. They don't play with any confidence.

Why even ask the question, you know what he is going to say...ask a followup too, have you talked to NU? No I haven't but my agent sure as s#!t has 

They keep asking because they want him to say a certain few words that he refuses to say and it has been that way for a month "I am returning to UCF next year blah blah blah wording"

He never says it and it drives their handful of posters on Rivals crazy. 

Offer on table, leaks, denials, signs. That is the way it has been done for a long time. I already said that is what would transpire. 

First yer expectations? I just want to force Ohio State to punt the ball. That is all I ask for. 

Time for football.

Talking about Florida or Nebraska?

Florida. Made the edit while you were posting. 

Chris Doering on ESPN radio just now: "may be cold feet on both sides...the longer this goes, the lower the chances."

In reference to UF and Kelly.

Does anyone else out there want scott frost not just because he will be great for Nebraska for too many reasons to list. But also because it may irk benning just a tad? 

Benning may not like it but I bet he keeps it off the live radio streams. It would be a bad thing for his career to do anything otherwise.
