Sources: Chip Kelly in negotiation to potentially be the next head coach of Florida
Florida has received ‘verbal commitment’ that there won’t be issue with hiring Chip Kelly
Source: Gator Reps are headed too talk with Chip Kelly. Things are picking up on the @SEC coaching searches.

Credible source tells me Florida finalized deal with Chip Kelly last night. Announcement coming either today or tomorrow. If this is true it's a solid big splash hire for the Gators.

he has certainly turned around the 49ers...
November 14th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
the 49er's are not in play?
Good news for us!

Seems like Milton would work well for Kelly in Florida.
November 14th, 2017 at 6:55 PM ^
For the nth time, Joe Milton is a pocket QB. Just because he is black, DOES NOT mean he is a dual-threat.
He would be really slow as a dual threat QB given his 40 time.
He's more in the mold of Jameis Winston or Big Ben in that he's a big body that can be nimble in the pocket when need be.

and the other guy that says that Milton would be a good fit. I think it's a bit of a misnomer that Chip Kelly needs a true dual threat QB. I think a Chip Kelly offense would work just as well with a guy like Milton who has good enough feet to get the occasional 5-10 yards if its there. Remember, Kelly's offense was at its best in the pros when he had a slower QB in Nick Foles running it as well. Big staples of Chip Kelly's offense aren't necessarily speed, but ability to make good decisions quickly, as well as being able to stretch the defense. One of Chip Kelly's staple plays is a run read/Four Vertical play, where the QB must read a deep safety to determine whether to hand off the inside zone, or pull the ball and throw it to one of four receivers running a go route. Plays like this are where Joe Milton would absolutely excel, because of his arm strength.
Now I don't think obviously that Florida would be a better option for Milton than Michigan, I just think that it's a bit of a misnomer that Kelly needs a quarterback to run for 150 yards per game to be successful.

He will complain about Kelly's pace of play which Saban contends leads to injuries.

The headline makes it seem as though he has agreed to become the next coach at Florida, but all the article actually says is that the SEC has given Florida a verbal commitment that it wouldn't block such a hire by Florida pursuant to an SEC bylaw under which the conference commissioner can prevent a school from hiring a coach with previous major NCAA violations.
November 14th, 2017 at 1:51 PM ^
Agreed. Though there has been some other "sources" reporting that it is gonna happen. If he can do at Oregon what he did, UF is gonna be a force soon.
November 14th, 2017 at 4:01 PM ^
yearly UF v alabama SEC title games would be interesting, but he always had trouble with strong defenses from what I recall.
November 14th, 2017 at 2:15 PM ^
Typical SEC.
"We are serious about fair play. Look, we even have a rule that says our member institutions may not hire coaches who have committed major NCAA violations!"
... five minutes later ...
"Florida's interested in Chip Kelly? Aw, hey--yeah, we have a rule against coaches who have committed major NCAA violations. But obviously we wouldn't actually enforce that rule. Are you crazy? Go ahead, Florida. You hire whoever you want. What do you think we are, a bunch or rules nazis or something? Sheesh."
November 14th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
Don't worry academic issues, either - you guys go right ahead and bring in Malik.
November 14th, 2017 at 9:23 PM ^
November 14th, 2017 at 3:03 PM ^
But presumably, the SEC would only make that statement if actually contacted by Florida and/or Kelly on the matter. They wouldn't just come up with this out of the blue.
This suggests there is some interest from one or both parties, at the least.
November 14th, 2017 at 3:53 PM ^
It shows interest from Florida. Typically, the school likes to keep that interest quiet until they're close to a deal. Coaches and their agents like to get word out that they're in demand. If I'm Kelly here, I'd tell Florida they'd need to take this step regardless of my interest in their job. Although I'd expect he does have some interest, this helps drive up the price with A&M, Tenn or anyone else that might be looking at him.
Also, BOO to the OP He edited his title after criticism without acknowledging it.
November 14th, 2017 at 4:14 PM ^
It is Florida we're talking about here.

November 14th, 2017 at 2:28 PM ^
nah, Nicole Curtis....
November 14th, 2017 at 2:32 PM ^
Not sure why you would choose a picture of her without her hair in a pony tail, tank top on, and gloves on with a hammer in her hand.
November 14th, 2017 at 3:57 PM ^
Could be worse, he couldv'e went with this Gaines.
November 14th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
Without the makeup, not a fan.
November 14th, 2017 at 3:31 PM ^
Still cute.
November 14th, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^
Kinda looks like what you might wake up to on the morning after...
November 14th, 2017 at 6:27 PM ^
November 15th, 2017 at 1:10 AM ^
could be a LOT worse
November 14th, 2017 at 3:35 PM ^
Let me put my beer goggles back on. There we go, back to the first picture.

They all look like this in the morning. This is every morning for the rest of your life.
November 14th, 2017 at 6:42 PM ^
My woman is hot, but first thing in the morning... not as much.
November 14th, 2017 at 8:12 PM ^

of course wife could say the same thing about my 6 pack turning to a love handle
November 14th, 2017 at 8:33 PM ^
November 14th, 2017 at 8:55 PM ^
Oh don't get me wrong, she's still hot. I really don't care, I'm perfectly happy either way. But, I doubt women would spend as much time getting ready if it didn't make a difference. Ya know? And I definitely appreciate the effort that goes into it. I hope you get what I'm attempting to say.
November 14th, 2017 at 9:03 PM ^
November 14th, 2017 at 9:14 PM ^
Thanks? I think?
November 14th, 2017 at 10:10 PM ^
November 15th, 2017 at 9:46 AM ^
Oh. :(
I did not say she doesn't look good in the morning. I said she doesn't look as good, as in, she's human, and I don't expect her to look like a model 24/7. Maybe I wasn't wordy enough, I don't know, but you definitely mistook my point.
So, to go a bit further; I love that woman no matter what. I was just trying to say that people's expectations of what a woman should look like are way out of control. Clearly I failed at communicating that. Oh well. She would know exactly what I'm saying, were she reading this, and would not take even a tiny bit of offense. She knows I'm attracted to her for more than her appearance.
Anyhow, my original point (first comment on this thread) was just backing up the HGTV girl as being an attractive female, with or without makeup. Most dudes have unrealistic expectations.
November 15th, 2017 at 9:57 AM ^
The one immediately before my wife, would actually wake up 20 mins before my alarm went off so she could put on makeup and get back in bed. She did that for like a year.
Great girl. I hope she's happy.
November 15th, 2017 at 11:00 AM ^
That's insane. I guess she cared?
