I don't know if it's customary or not. I guess it all depends on the situation.

There has to be something going on with Kelly or Stricklin would say that Kelly is not a candidate.

There is no real evidence Kelly's agent was in town. If there is I haven't seen it anywhere.


Kelly's agent has an office in Gainesville.

I am not saying Stricklin will frick it up but the only major hire he made for us was Rick Ray. It was a not well kept secret that other people took control for the Howland hire. Did a fantastic job with marketing and the minor sports though.

This. He has come out multiple time and dispelled rumors.

UAA had leaked Tagg and Frost rumors.

They got a gag order. More rumors on this than anything and no UAA response nor one from Sticklin. None of the Gator insiders on the sites can get their sources information outside of two, and it is the same so far from Tilly and AKOW.

I don’t think people believe he is a great head coach. Great coaches move up fast .

They're too busy fawning over Frost, still hoping that they can change his mind.

In the meantime, UCLA is gonna swoop in and steal Chip Kelly from under their collective gator snouts

You’re a lot more obsessed with Florida than Florida is with Frost.

I watched the press conference when Mac was fired. If I remember correctly, Stricklin said he wouldn't comment on rumors or confirm/deny any until the search was finished. So, I doubt he would single out this one rumor to deny it.

Ogre success at OM was astonishing. I mean, you should think before you speak.

This one has gotten so big that he almost has to if it is not true. Everyone's attention is now on Kelly, and pretty much anyone else at this point is going to be considered a disappointment by some.

Same agency, but Armstrong handles college coaches

He met with Kelly's agent yesterday. So there's obviously play for it and interest on both sides.


Hope he isn't playing UF against another school. I'd like to see CK be your coach.

Kelly, on the other hand, has no benefit from letting the rumors run rampant and has shot them down in the past immediately. This time he is eerily silent, and it's obvious that they are at the very least talking to each other about the possibilities, at the most working over the contract.

What other schools are available?

He's not going to Tenn. I can only see a handful of programs he'd go to.

If he's going back to college, he won't want a recruiting challenge. He wants kids in his back yard.

He is waiting on the Gus to Arky decision.
