    UCLA is known for being on the low side with the dollar in the overall perspective of paying coaches at that level

    Let me ask this...and forgive me for my stupidity. It has been suggested that Willie Taggert would eventually come back to the south. If Fla. or one of the other SEC schools went after Taggert, would Kelly be back in play for Oregon? I don't know if he left there on good terms or not, that's why I'm asking.

    It would be easier at Florida than at UCLA. UCLA isn't top Pac 12 job.

    I lived in Westwood for awhile. UCLA fans are kinda lukewarm on football, basketball is their thing. USC is the football school in Los Angeles.

    3 losses by a combined 6 points and another loss in OT. The difference in winning and losing in the nfl is razor thin. I do not think the year is near as bad as you, but oh well

    You are assuming Kelly would win at UCLA, that's a BIG assumption. I don't think anyone wins at UCLA consistently. The gap in their own town is just to great.

    And 95% of the coaches would not have been fired over just that. The behind the scenes issues and trend with the team were and are a concern

    Probably the same take everyone had on MSU before we went to #1.

    Ok, the line is drawn... you do not like kelly and I do. What we betting for next season? I say he wins at least 8 at UCLA or Florida, which is a big improvement. Sig bet? Lol

    Kelly is a weird fat dude. No telling what he'll do.

    It doesn't matter if WE like Kelly or not; he will land at either Florida or UCLA.

    If it were me, I would coach UCLA before getting into the toxic environment in Gainesville.

    TN is so screwed. If Kelly takes the FL job, he'll own them. If he doesn't, FL takes their likely best candidate.

    Delusional fans who believe they are better than they really are, has destroyed the conference. Rational thought and commons sense are not all that common anymore. We live in an ?instant grits?, ?reset the game?, what have you done for me lately society.

    It?s actually quite interesting to watch society from a distance and wonder how far the pendulum will swing before it comes back to rationale.

    Ha. I don't dislike him, think he is a very good OC and smart with plays, but just not sold that he is a homerun hire to run a program. 8 wins is the floor he can be at those schools and the jury would still be out.

    Twitter say Kelly turned down an offer from Tennessee. The Vols better just assume their position as 2nd or 3rd tier in the SEC. They are no longer attractive.
