Tennessee fans are having a meltdown at the thought of Chip Kelly at Florida

The coaching carousel is spinning out of control right now, as UCLA and Florida are reportedly both vying for the services of former NFL and Oregon coach Chip Kelly.
However, as those schools battle it out for a top candidate, the Tennessee Volunteers are seemingly stuck in neutral, though there are plenty of Grumors about Jon Gruden to go around.
Still, as reports surface about Kelly nearing a deal with Florida, Vol Nation is getting worried.
As you can see below, fans are freaking out on Twitter about Kelly-to-Florida speculation:
Gonna go ahead and get “Florida owns me” tramp stamped on me because they have Chip Kelly now

Chip Kelly is going to take pleasure in beating Tennessee since we wouldn't even call him

Chip Kelly told East TN HS coaches about a month ago he was interested in the UT job. UT hadn't called at that time. Don't know if they ever did. It would appear to be too late at this point. https://t.co/NeCytxWYPt

@Russell___Smith So now that Florida has Kelly, we are screwed unless we get Patterson, correct? Still pissed Currie screwed around with firing Butch. Could have had a 5 week head start on FL.

Nothing is official with the Gators yet, but it seems like only a matter of time before the school makes its move. However, if the Vols don’t land Gruden, AD John Currie is sure to take plenty of heat in the coming months.
