Isn't Chip Kelly sitting around unemployed? He could really be dangerous with all that Florida speed

Gotta wonder why anyone would want to take a job at a place like Florida after firing a guy who made it to 2 SEC championship games in his first 2 years as head coach and then fire him in the middle of the following season. The only reason would be for a money grab, IMO.
They didn't fire him for on- field performance. They fired him for lying about the death threats. That said, if they were sitting on a normal Florida season, they would have put up with that.
This, SEC is more of a coach killing job than Iowa State these days.Until Saban is gone I don't know why any up and coming coach would take a job in the SEC. Every fanbase in that conference thinks they need to match Alabama and they will give you 2 years to do it. It's a losing proposition.
Because CMC knows he’s good?Until Saban is gone I don't know why any up and coming coach would take a job in the SEC. Every fanbase in that conference thinks they need to match Alabama and they will give you 2 years to do it. It's a losing proposition.

It wouldn’t be for me, but if you’re good you can survive.
What else does Florida have to lose. I'd give him a chance if he's willing to coach college again.Isn't Chip Kelly sitting around unemployed? He could really be dangerous with all that Florida speed
This would be great. Wonder who nebby would get??ESPN and Florida sports writers are making it sounds like UF is going to pursue Scott Frost hard. They like his offensive system and the fact that he already has an in with the Florida HS. I would love it if Frost went to UF and left Nebraska scrambling to identify another HC candidate.
I'm pretty sure on-field performance had something to do with it. Sure, they went to back-to-back SEC championship games, but 2016 they finished with a 9-4 record, and in 2015 finished 10-3. In 2016 they won the East because they were the only team with a pulse. They've gotten progressively worse each year. Sure, us ISU fans would love what Florida has done the last few years, but they have higher expectations based on their history. Perhaps irrational, but you take that job knowing what the expectations are.
The death threats thing is likely just to get out of paying some, if not all, of the buyout. If Florida was winning this year nobody cares.
I'm not sure I would want to be a coach in the SEC. Alabama is the king and everyone else is fighting for 2nd. Plus, the unrealistic expectations by fans and AD's put's a tremendous amount of pressure to perform. Just look at the last 5-years within the SEC and the changes of head coaches (3-4 programs still have the same head coach).
CMC will be on every list.Have a good friend who is a UF alum. Told me CMC is on their list.
Don't think he answers the call, but he will be on every P5 coaching search list until he either leaves or the multiple rejections make it clear he's not going anywhere. And only time will tell the tale.
The other possibility is the Paul Rhoads story. Stay at ISU and coach yourself out of the spotlight. (I don't see this happening, BTW.)
