How quickly would Chip Kelly turnaround the University of Florida football team?

Cowherd was discussing the inevitable UF coaching vacancy and he said that Kelly would likely be on the shortlist. Granted, it is highly, highly unlikely that Kelly would go back to the college ranks IMO, but if he would, there is arguably no place to do it than Florida.

I started thinking about how quickly Kelly could turn things around at Florida and wanted to see what the MSB thought. I'm not a huge Kelly fan, but his success at Oregon coupled with his NFL success and experience would have Florida in the title hunt within 2 years IMO. They would be a machine.

He's clearly a good coach, and Kelly at Florida would be scary.

As quick as the gus bus did, assuming they have a manageable chip kelly type QB available

If they could bring in Chip and somehow keep Muschamp as DC, they could win multiple titles within 5 years

I don't think it makes any sense whatsoever to leave the NFL after 2 years of great success to go to a college job worse than the one you left.

I would absolutely love it if he came. My answer is I think he would turn the program around immediately. Rebuilding efforts don't take as long as people think. But I mean it makes no sense.

Maybe I heard him wrong, but I though he was saying Brian Kelly. Again, I was only halfway listening on the way to work.

i'm pretty sure UF already has a coach that is only capable of beating tennessee and none of the good sec programs

First of all, let's get past the usage of the word "scary". It's ridiculous in the context of sports.

Secondly, I, for one, don't think he'd be as dominant as everyone else does. Even against PAC12 defenses, he managed to get hit in the mouth at least once a year, save 2010, when an SEC team did it to him. Some team would play physical and would take the Ducks out of their rhythm, and they couldn't adjust. He's not that much different than any other coach who uses the spread system, of which there are now many in the SEC. I think people have an irrational fear of him because he'd regularly put up 70 on inferior competition, but I don't think he'd be as good (in a relative sense) at UF strictly because the parity is so much stronger. That's not to say that he wouldn't be successful, just that the rest of the conference could certainly compete.

If at LSU or Florida and the talent he could recruit he'd make Saban his bitch before he "retires".

Imagine the recruits he could get that he previously couldn't. That changes the game.

We won the BCS and SEC in Meyer's second year, so pretty damn quickly. The talent is there.
