Chip likely stays in the NFL. There will be several HC openings after the end of the regular season. Tennessee is an obvious destination.
I believe he would have succeeded at Miami but would have left for another NFL HC job sooner than later. I also believe he might have left The U in trouble with the NCAA.
Do not need.
You are rationalizing big time.
Kelly would have immediately pushed this program to championship contention level and
created an air of excitement never before seen here.
Local kids would be jizzing their pants to play in his offense.
If we already talked to him behind the scenes and it didn't work out its one thing, but if you asked me if I would have preferred to have Richt in the fold or stayed open in order to entertain the possibility of Chip I would have easily chosen the latter.
How old are you? How long have you been a fan? An air of excitement never seen before at Miami? This is the U, the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s were pretty **** exciting.
I've been a fan since the 80's.
When Schenellenberger came he was a name but no one even fathomed this program being a championship contender at that time.
Jimmy Johnson, Dennis Erickson weren't huge names when they were hired out of Ok St and Wash St respectively.
Butch Davis, Coker, Shannon & Golden certainly didn't generate that type of buzz
when they were hired.
So WTF are you talking about?
