Sounds great but doubt it’s true. Sounds like the meeting took a grand total of 2 minutes and Kelly walked out. Who knows tho.

Really want to keep Rees, Elston, Balis, and Taylor. I have no strong opinion of the DBs coaches either way to be honest.

Well looks like Balis is staying. Good start.

If Freeman chewed Kelly's ass I have a tough time seeing Kelly trying to make him the highest paid coordinator in the business.

 

Not saying it isn't true because business is business, but seems less likely. 

Can you offer Tommy right now? As much as I want to my guess is no. Unless they already have an open dialog with the for sure next coach I don't think they are in a position to make it happen.

ESPN said the meeting lasted 11 minutes. 

That's awfully short. But 2 minutes, or 11 minutes. Sounds like something happened to cut it short. You'd think it would have been longer.

I can’t find which Twitter feed I saw it on. But one said he had left campus by 7:11, 11 minutes after the meeting started. The other said the meeting only took 2 minutes with Kelly leaving and not taking any questions from the players

Tend to agree that it’s more likely 2 minutes or somewhere around there. All just reports about everything but man I would live for that Freeman story to be true
