I'm pretty sure the only people who didn't want Chip Kelly to be the Miami coach in 2015 were the die-hard Butch Davis fans.
I'll give y'all credit ... Y'all were anti-Chip Kelly.
But everybody else, for the most part, was all aboard the "Oregon offense with South Florida speed" train.
Untrue.
First, you ignore the Richt supporters. They, also, did not want Chip Kelly.
Second, you ignore the Mike Leach supporters. They, also, did not want Chip Kelly.
I could do this a few more times, but with other names.
So, yeah, the Chip Kelly supporters wanted Chip Kelly. That's about it.
Your memory of the threads immediately after Golden was fired is inaccurate.
It was Butch Davis, Chip Kelly, and then everyone else FAR behind them. Leach was in the Cristobal group that most folks didn't want.
I was one of the very few EARLY Richt supporters on this board!
Nobody knew UGA was gonna fire Richt. And the only reason Richt was brought up was because Kelly was getting so much hype, and another poster threw Richt out as another long-shot.
A bunch of folks didn't like that idea because Richt "underachieved at UGA", "couldn't win the big one", and "lost too many times to Florida, their chief rival".
Trust me on this ... Or, don't and just search "Chip Kelly Threads" or, the Richt threads from 2015 ...
