Chip Kelly is still available

[GatorsFanYeah]

Pretty sure he'd jump at the chance to recruit Florida caliber athletes and salivate over what he could do on offense with them. Sure, he's a tad bit unethical and probably a douche of a person, but so are Harbaugh, Meyer, and Petrino, and I think we'd all gladly have them as the HBC at Florida.

Seriously, hire Chip Kelly before someone else does. Fire Mac in the locker room today, I don't care, but I can't take anymore of this dude's offenses.

 

[Michi_Gator]

My hope is this scandal gets Mac fired and we can have Chip in place right after the FSU game so he has a little time to recruit

 

[Gator Fever]

We could get him but Sumlin and ND's coach would have to survive for him to come here.

 

[instaGATOR]

They ever hire Cow-Chip Kelly and I'm turning in my Gator card immediately.

I don't think the program would survive without you! "Cow-Chip" Kelly? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Clever! Witty as ever, Insta.

 

[sadgator]

Mac ain't gonna be fired this year, kids. We are stuck in purgatory again.

 

[instaGATOR]

Franks, Franks, he's our man, if he can't do then Zaire can.

Zaire, Zaire, he's our man, if he can't do it then LDR can.

LDR, LDR,,,,, oh wait....

 

[ohsfan26]

Maybe Stoops will come back to coaching. More success than Chip Kelly, doesn't have the baggage, and already familiar with Florida

 

[rdgtr]

What are Chip Kelley's strength's & weaknesses?
How does he handle adversity?
Is he a good mananager/builder of a team?

 

[HardeeWildcatFan]

I would have Mark Stoops he has a championship under his belt working under Steve here at UF..

Well, you'll get more offense in his firat quarter than we have had in 8 years. People say he can't recruit, but his classes at Oregon were about in par with Macs here at UF and recruiting UF is child's play conpared to Oregon.

He built Oregon from nothing to play in a BCS title game, does that count?

Would it translate to the SEC?
Could his players pick up his offense quickly?
What will the effect of the quick-paced offense have on your defenses?
Will Kelley's defense be forced to play too many downs, eventually get worn out & look mediocre?

Here is a relatively new article about Kelley after his run in the NFL:

http://fishduck.com/2017/03/catch-a-falling-star-what-now-chip-kelley/

The Kelly spread – with it’s foundational concepts of speed, precision, execution and teamwork – was the future of college football, and he pushed Oregon to unprecedented heights and an .868 winning percentage (46-7). It was one hell of an opening act.

Kelly quickly realized that having a true “dual threat” quarterback at the NFL level was a virtual impossibility – game speed and injury being the primary factors. Forced to phase out elements of the read option, Kelly scaled down his offense to the point where opposing defenses began to recognize trends.

Some would go so far as to say that Philly was tipping plays. In brief, the alignment of the tight end and running back would give the play away. If Kelly lined the tight end and running back on opposite sides of the ball, the Eagles would run a sweep towards the tight end. If the tight end and running back lined up on the same side of the ball, the play was typically an inside zone to the opposite side.

And while speed remained at the forefront of his system it wasn’t the warp speed of Oregon’s spread. The Ducks ran an average of around 85 plays per game. The Eagles around 65 plays, and that differential was largely due to NFL officials and the process they use to spot the ball.

Bottom line: In the NFL, officials control the pace of the game, not coaches.

But what’s puzzling me after watching the Niners implode this year was how little Kelly’s philosophy changed between his tenure with Philadelphia and San Francisco. Brown used the term “innovator’s curse,” – that once having innovated, it’s hard for anyone to continue to innovate and remain cutting edge.

But given all that, where was the ability to adapt, to make necessary changes to his system in order to grow and thrive?

Kelly was never cut out for the NFL. Neither was Spurrier. They are similar in some facets as they great offensive minds that are better suited for the NFL. He recruited and developed Mariotta, thats more than anything we have done since SOS outside Tebow

Mac isnt going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe after next year if things dont improve but definitely not this year .

I think it needs to happen, no excuse for that crap yesterday. Was at the game but i live in dallas. Feel bad for these fans that drove that far to see this offense

 

[Dannygator1989]

18 million is a lot of money just to get rid of a staff.

Then hiring a new one? We're looking at 30 million.

That is Foley's fault.

But like I said, sometimes the Second bad coach back to back gets the hammer a little sooner with a fanbase and booster a little more willing to push them out.

We'll see

We seem to be doing the opposite and saying after Zook everyone gets 4 years now no matter what. But if we go 5-7 the East title nonsense may not be able to save him.

 

[PacoGator19]

Mac will be here next year more than likely. He will be asked to find a new OC. We will see if he will step up and fire his buddy.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Nuss will be the scapegoat.

Yes, that will buy mac another year or so

The OC thing is so overblown. Chris Peterson, SOS, Chip Kelly could produce offense with a child as OC. Saban, Mischamp could produce D with a child as DC. If Mac new offense we would have one.

The scapegoat game is what UT has let Butch continue to do, fire coaches, even if they are improving units (Jancek as DC). Do we want to enter the UT cycle? Thats where we are right now, minus the recruiting

 

[Michi_Gator]

Just get some popcorn and watch. Quit assuming things, this fraud scandal may be the out we need. And if Mac has even an ounce of involvement or knowledge that voids his money he will be gone sooner rather than later. Foley tied our hands for sure, but this is far from a lock he stays

I don't see any Power 5 coordinator coming here after 2014 for the 2018 season either unless their coach was already fired or was on just as hot of a seat as Mac will be.

Man a high profiled G6...or FCS coach would. Not saying that ideal but it beats the svitshow Doug Nussmier puts on the field.

 

[Dannygator1989]

Again. 30 million dollars is a lot to spend on a staff turn over.

Could totally happen, but I think you're going to much more likely see an OC change...which I kinda think might be the answer.

Mac has the recruiting going now.

Going to be beyond pissed if we lose Corral over all of this.

We could lose Corral over the producton the field.

And IMO, OC change isn't enough. Mac has recruited too poorly his first three years to overcome this. Our OL is terrible, he doesn't have time to fix that

 

[oozie7]

An OC change won't be the answer for one reason...no good one is gonna come here with Mac on the hot seat and knowing they might have a job for only one year. The ONLY way you're going to get around that is by doing something like what we did with Roper where we sign him to a 2-3 year deal and guarantee all the money. Even then you still likely won't get an elite guy to come because nobody is gonna want a shit offense on their resume.

It all points to a bigger problem anyway because think about what we're saying...we need an elite OC to come in here and save our offensive coach. Huh? And let's assume we get one of those guys...they're always in demand so how long will they even be there? Look around the country and for the elite offensive guys it doesn't matter who their OC is because it's their offense, the OC is just usually a title. If we need to bring in an elite OC to save our offensive coach we're already f*cked.

 

[LaYzieGaTor]

And i thought the Oline would be one of the strengths of the team

Do you think most of these recruits stick if we are 3-3 with a joke offense down the road?

 

[Michi_Gator]

Be honest, why? Because our bad OL had played poorly for a year? Or because Mac told you so?

We don't have talent on the OL, running them out there isn't going to change that

Said the same thing in another thread

 

[Dannygator1989]

All I said is that it's probably more likely we do an OC change rather than bite the bullet on a staff change.

 

[Michi_Gator]

Oh I agree, the Butch Jones approach. This is why I wanted Nuss fired after last year, now he gets to be the theme of our entire season. But Mac is the excuse master and knew he could scapegoat Nuss in hopes of buying another year.

Scarily, that is what Mac is about, diverting our attrocious play so he can 'hang on' another year. Guy doesn't have a winners mentality or fire

 

[LaYzieGaTor]

Just figured the returning starters and another year of experience along with the coaches doing there job .

Probably. But we all know it's just delaying the inevitable. The problem is much deeper.
