: LandryFootball.com reports that Chip Kelly’s agent met with UCLA on Sunday, the same day Florida flew to New Hampshire to meet with Kelly himself. It also notes that Kelly’s meeting on Tuesday with two senior athletic department officials and the Bruins’ heaviest donor “went well” The discussion with the Bruins appears to have centered around donor commitment and Kelly potentially having the necessary funding to build the program he wants from multiple standpoints.
Chomp: Kelly’s agent meeting with UCLA on Sunday certainly debunks prior reports that the sides had no legitimate contact at that time. If this report is accurate and Kelly’s primary concern regarding UCLA was its financial commitment, there is a case to be made that he may actually favor the Bruins with that being his lone reservation. UCLA bringing out the big guns in Casey Wasserman, the founder of the former megapower management company Wasserman Media Group, is a massive revelation. If Wassterman promises Kelly to give him whatever he needs to win — such as Nike founder Phil Knight did for him at Oregon — Kelly-to-UCLA may be more real than anyone believed 24 hours ago.

Not even remotely true, man, and I'll tell you why:
The UCLA job has been ''open'' for a while now. UCLA didn't just start talking to Kelly.
We've got some good sources on this.

I have a feeling the rest of the week is just gonna be worse until we know for sure. Until I start seeing OUR insiders panic Im still in the Chip to FL camp.

''This is how it went: Football Scoop posted an article stating that UCLA met with Kelly (I think Pat Dooley was the source), then this guy posted an article, and then UCLA 247 picked it up. The mods on their site don’t really know shite.''
Dooley doesn't know anything. A lot of sites and national guys are quoting the already backtracked Gainesville Sun. They ''misspoke'' about that meeting and now websites are running with it like it's real.

Chip Kelly has met with UCLA’s athletic administration and by all accounts the meeting went very well.
The meeting included athletic director Dan Guerrero, senior athletic director Josh Rebholz and chief Bruin athletics donor Casey Wasserman.

Kelly's agent met with ucla Sunday and Kelly met with them today. That doesn't sound good. If we miss on Kelly, Stricklin better have another job lined up.

Greg McElroy says Kelly to UCLA.

At least we have the early game Saturday so win or lose we can get the season over with and get down to the nitty gritty of hiring a HC.

He said that on Monday and he is mad that Florida fired his Father

I don't think this happened but if it did, then I think the explanation could be that it's because you're going to show respect to a University that reaches out to you.

Chip Kelly is expected to decide between accepting a head coaching position at either UCLA or Florida in the coming days after meeting with UCLA officials on Tuesday, reports ESPN's Mark Schlabach.
More to come.

Sources: Chip verbally agreed to Florida before South Carolina game & Florida has been vetting dozens of assistant candidates.
Chip signed an agreement with Florida on Sunday. Agreement includes window for Chip to back out of deal. Hence UCLA talks.

The next tweet said he had 14 days to back out. That's why UCLA fired Mora so fast.
