He'd have better job security and less pressure at UCLA than UF though. That matters to some people. Look at Mullen.
No doubt but he wasn't making that point.

Yeah the process here was a shite show. O wasn't my choice but he has a chance at 9-3. Should be 10-2 (Troy debacle). All in all that's not terrible

Then what is his point? That UF can't automatically hire any coach it wants? Sure, that's true for every SEC program sans Bama.
UCLA would be a threat in any SEC school's coaching search, especially for a West Coast guy like Kelly. The way some people are talking about UCLA you'd think that they're Oregon State or Ole Miss.

UCLA sounds like a better fit for him. West coast guy, easier schedule. Apparently way less pressure, they let Mora stick around for 6.5 years without really winning anything.

Kelly looks like a combo of Charley Weis and Jabba the Hut, he better have thick skin if he takes UF.

I didn’t read all the thread. Saying UCLA doesn’t compare is not true.
They have had a top 10ish ADepartment for a longtime. Look at the past overall standings.

Don't dismiss this. OBC throwing McElwain under the bus by saying "I offered to help" isnt making this easier. Any coach that might be interested in UF has to be thinking "If I lose a game is OBC going to the AD and President and saying "I tried to help but he didnt listen"" Im not saying it is going to be a deciding factor but it is a factor.

You really want to compare UF's budget,attendance and
recruiting "grounds" to UCLA?
Their budget is consistently in the top 3 in their conference. They had the best average attendance in Pac12 football a few years ago and are currently #2 (will likely go back to #1 next year). They also have the most valuable apparel deal in the country and offer more breathing room than Florida (they just fired a coach who won their division back to back).
As far as recruiting, it's Southern California! This is were most schools west of the Rocky mountains go to recruit athletes. USC and UCLA have home field advantage and recruit themselves into the top 20 every year, regardless of school record.
UCLA may be a few spots below Florida in terms of job perks, but OP is stupid to dismiss it as an "inferior" job. Its an attractive job and anyone that doesn't realize that is a fricking moron. They can hold their own vs all SEC school not named Alabama. They have some deep pocket boosters.

He should call a presser sit on a table with the hats and make it like NSD.
Or not.
It’s ridiculous it’s being played like this.

Easy decision imo. He failed at his last job, don’t think he wants to fail again at Florida.

I stand corrected. UCLA is one of the top 5 athletics programs in the nation!!
Posted on 11/22/17 at 4:13 pm to lsushelly
Kinda fimilar with the LSU program.
Posted on 11/22/17 at 4:18 pm to lsushelly
This has to do with his familiarity with pac 12. BOth jobs have equal recruit base and money
Posted on 11/22/17 at 5:05 pm to lsushelly
Not really. Everyone knows Florida is a significantly better job, but if he can to UCLA and get the same cash, with no pressure, why not.

That is absolutely not true. UF is easily one of the best jobs in the country.
But Kelly is a West coast guy, maybe more comfortable in LA.

I hear what you're saying, but to be fair to Floirda, Kelly is comfortable. This affords him the luxury of finding a place that will keep him comfortable.
If he goes to Florida he will likely have to work harder than he ever has before. Nike won't stock and sell the program for him.
UCLA, while offering no better salary, facilities, recruiting or history offers lower expectations and thusly more comfort.
I personally don't think Kelly has the fire the belly for SEC.

So what? It's not close to Florida in terms of D1 recruits and falling further behind every
