Informed sources with knowledge of the situation shot down a report on Wednesday that said "a large number of reliable sources … indicated" that Kelly had chosen UCLA.

There is a certain amount of urgency on both sides -- Kelly and his future team -- to get a deal done quickly. Both would want to begin recruiting with the new early signing period only 28 days away.

It was reported earlier Wednesday that Kelly had entered into what has also been described to CBS Sports as a "non-binding agreement" with Florida that may have something to do with the timing of money owed to the coach from the San Francisco 49ers.

CBS Sports was also told the delay in making Kelly's hire official may have something to do with his future staff.

Florida and Kelly are believed to be going back and forth on coaches the Gators want Kelly to keep from the current staff. Defensive coordinator and interim coach Randy Shannon has been mentioned as one of the staffers being discussed.

Why even bother signing a non-binding agreement? At that point, it's more of a Memorandum of Understanding or some equally ridiculous non-thing.

Forcing a coach to keep an assistant they might not want seems like something to push him to UCLA. That and no pressure.

Why would he stay as an analyst? Shannon could get a legit $$$$ DC job or a bottom feeder, we need a coach, head coaching job.

Terrible either way. If it’s going to be his program he hires who he wants

You think Shannon can't get a legit DC or position coach job making more money than an analyst???? This is what UF is hung up with Kelly on? Really?

If Stricklin loses Kelly because he wants to make him keep Shannon then he should be fired. Shannon has only been our DC for 1 year . This makes me glade we lost games with Shannon as the intern head coach or he would likely be out head coach of the future.

UF really screwed this one up

How is he deciding?

Florida fans on here said he signed the contract last week?
