Report: Florida officials fly to New Hampshire to present Chip Kelly with contract

It may be happening, Gators fans.

Buddy Martin, a Florida-based journalist and radio host who also happened to co-author Steve Spurrier’s autobiography, “Head Ball Coach: My Life in Football,” sent out a huge nugget on Sunday evening.

Martin posted on Twitter that he learned from sources that top officials from Florida are in New Hampshire meeting with Chip Kelly.

Those UF officials are reportedly set to present Kelly with a contract for him to sign to become the Gators’ next head football coach.

Kelly was 46-7 as Oregon’s head coach from 2009 to 2012. He won 12 games in three of his four seasons with the Ducks, and also captured conference championships in three of his four seasons.

In his four seasons, Kelly took his teams to major post-season appearances — the Rose Bowl twice, Fiesta Bowl once and a trip to the national championship game.
