    Not a big Oregon watcher, but I don't think Chip Kelly has the cachet for the UF job at this point. Not when he'd be going up against their O-Coordinator, Bob Stoops, Shanahan, Peterson from Boise State, etc.

    Maybe in a few years? But at this point, it'd be a little like the Raiders hiring Lane Kiffin.

    I read an article about him on espn.com and it sounds like he's got a cyst on his brain he's had for 20 years that flares up under stress, and he had a pretty bad heart scare right after the SEC title game.

    Helluva coach, but I give him much respect for being able to put his priorities straight and not let a job kill him.

    Don't worry, Urban decided to not retire and is instead taking a leave of absence.
