Re: Kelly and money...

I don't see this as an issue since he is still being paid by Philadelphia (2 years) and SF (3 years).  He could set up a contract that would start below market rate and end at or above market rate.

Additional information is leaking out...

CoachDykes is rumored to have secured an OC position at an SEC school (Ole Miss?).

UC is expected to have a replacement signed by the end of the week.  This would imply that they had someone lined up before cutting CoachDykes loose.

The AD's statement included a couple of telling comments (paraphrasing): 

I want someone committed to the program (in other words, a guy who won't "coach shop" after every season).

I want someone who will energize sagging season ticket sales/renewals (obviously there was more to the drop in interest in the program than just late starting times).
