Kelly at Florida would be scary

First of all, let's get past the usage of the word "scary". It's ridiculous in the context of sports.

Secondly, I, for one, don't think he'd be as dominant as everyone else does. Even against PAC12 defenses, he managed to get hit in the mouth at least once a year, save 2010, when an SEC team did it to him. Some team would play physical and would take the Ducks out of their rhythm, and they couldn't adjust. He's not that much different than any other coach who uses the spread system, of which there are now many in the SEC. I think people have an irrational fear of him because he'd regularly put up 70 on inferior competition, but I don't think he'd be as good (in a relative sense) at UF strictly because the parity is so much stronger. That's not to say that he wouldn't be successful, just that the rest of the conference could certainly compete.
