Will coach replace coach Armstrong with a defensive coach or will he hire a offensive coordinator?

Some of our fans think we could be getting Kelly from Ohio State.

I would be happy with Chip Kelly as the OC. I do believe that Napier will hire someone, and it would make sense IF he were hiring someone, that it could very well be someone who is still in the Playoffs, or he would have already hired one. Contracts are going to be up later this month, but since there already is a vacancy, it would still work, so that would not be the excuse for not already getting it done. Kelly would be great and so would Mike Denbrock of Notre Dame. Denbrock was Jaden Daniels OC at LSU and so he might be interested getting another Heisman Winner added to his resume.

Do you know Napier is not going to hire an offensive coordinator.

That's a waste of time to even worry about.
This is probably the case but talk of Chip Kelly or Mike Dembrock coming to UF to work for Napier as OC is just ridiculous. Even if Napier were so inclined those guys aren't coming here in that role. Kelly is likely to win the National Championship with an HC that he has known for 25 years and Dembrock just went back to ND to work with a guy he has a great relationship with. Why would he leave and if he did why Gainesville? Money? That's not going to cut it even if were the highest bidder.

If we were to go the OC route, it would probably be an up and coming FCS coach, maybe even an HC. It would be great to get an offensive equivalent to Ron Roberts, someone with more big time experience than Napier, but I don't know who that is... But, it's not Chip Kelly...
