Not a shock, but maybe pre-mature. I'm not a fan of firing a coach before the season ends unless he's misbehaved. Apparently Mora's not going to the playoffs.

Beat me to it. UF/UT can wave bye-bye to Kelly, this is what he's been waiting for IMO.

Couldn’t do diddly poo defensively.

[Bluesnky]

There's talk of Taggart to the SEC and Mullen to Oregon.

You do know this father Mora, not son Mora?

 

[BlueRupp]

Chip Kelly would kill it at UCLA.

 

[Brown is the new Blue]

There's talk of Taggart to the SEC and Mullen to Oregon.

Mullen’s base is $1.3 million more than Taggart’s and he isn’t taking a pay cut.

 

[SaguaroCat]

A preview of what would happen if Tennessee got their wish and hired Gruden. Which they won't.

 

[Bluesnky]

Mullen’s base is $1.3 million more than Taggart’s and he isn’t taking a pay cut.

Lol. If they had hired Taggart away from an SEC school instead of an AAC school they would have paid more. Don't think he has to worry about taking a pay cut.

Oregon had interest in Mullen last year but the feeling wasn’t mutual because aGAIN, he makes more than they were offering - a lot more. LOL.

Playoffs? Playoffs?

Oh like you were privy to any offered terms. Oregon can outbid Miss State.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Are there any recruits that we can poach or will reach out to? @JRowland @Jeff Drummond

 

[Brown is the new Blue]

Oh like you were privy to any offered terms. Oregon can outbid Miss State.

OK hotshot, if Oregon can outbid Miss State, why didn’t they do it less than 12 months ago?

That’s what I thought.

 

[drbubba]

You do know this father Mora, not son Mora?

Yeah, I was just fishing for that clip and the playoff quote. Mission accomplished.

 

[Bluesnky]

That’s what I thought.

Because Mullen only won six games last year and wasn't as hot a commodity?

 

[Brown is the new Blue]

LOL. Mullen won 61 games in his first 8 years. In the 8 years prior to his arrival, MSU won 29. And you think Oregon wasnt interested because his floor is 6 wins? But now - one year later - they’ve changed their minds and they are going to open up the vault? Being privy to Wikepedia is not serving you well in this debate.

There was mutual interest last year until there was a pay cut involved.

Thanks for playing.

You can have a discussion, even a debate, without being a smart ass.

You are childish and know nothing.

 

[Brown is the new Blue]

You are childish and know nothing.

That’s one way to wave the right flag - try and change the topic and resort to personal attacks.

I’m knowledgeable on this topic and you aren’t. And you cant bring yourself to admit it.

Again, thanks for playing.

 

[The Public Enemy]

Apparently UCLA and Chip Kelly Agent are already meeting today..

The prospects of this job coming open are apparently the reason Florida hasn’t been able to reel Kelly in. I suspect they are focused on Frost at this point.

You aren't smart enough for either of us to benefit from continuing this conversation.

 

[JDHoss]

He ran from me on HOB in a discussion about Mullen.

 

[Brown is the new Blue]

Translated: “I didn’t know what I was talking about when I started this Mullen to Oregon debate and didn’t realize that there was someone here who does. But if I resort to personal attacks, I MIGHT be able to save face”.

A word of advice. Stick to stuff you know or someone will bust your chops, which is what happened here.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Chip Kelly would kill it at UCLA.

So would Mike Leach..

 

[truebluewildcat]

Chip Kelly. Everything is aligning for him. The Pac is up for grabs.

Home run play. Don't mess around Bruins, and Chip for that matter.

 

[WildCard]

From an ESPN article...

Mora compiled a 46-30 record with the Bruins, but after going 29-11 in his first three seasons, UCLA is just 17-19. It can still qualify for a bowl game with a win against Cal at the Rose Bowl on Friday, but it's unclear if it would accept an invitation without a permanent head coach.​

He started well but the UCLA management obviously not happy with slippage the past 2 seasons. I don't follow UCLA one bit so I have no idea why they faded the past 3 years. Even with a loss to Call that would leave him 46-31 over 6 years.

Peace

I didn't realize he'd been there that long.

 

[WizardWCN]

so fla misses their first choice (Kelly), and maybe their 2nd (Nebraska and Scott Frost are “close” on a 7-year, $35 million), ut misses their first (Gruden) 2nd (Fisher) and maybe their 3rd (Norvell in running for ark). boy are things going good.

Not so fast, my friend. Things have broken well for Chip Kelly - let the bidding wars begin:

Then it's most likely to number 3 choice, Frost to Nebraska looks to be in the works.

As is often the case during the coaching carousel, it looks like the Gators might have re-emerged as the Chip Kelly favorite.

I live in Central Florida and I can tell you Florida is "all in" from the media, fans and Steve Spurrier's standpoint on Frost. They have even said they will wait til the UCF's season is over - because Frost has made it clear he wants to coach in a New Year's day bowl. Spurrier doesn't want Kelly at UF. Stricklin is finding out how strong Spurrier still is- not that it is a bad thing for Florida.

Go Big Blue!

I doubt Scott Stricklin will be influenced much by Spurrier if it means not getting his guy. Because if he is, he won’t last long there.

I think your right- but I also believe that Frost is their man.
