Kirby has the Georgia D rolling. Saban isn't going anywhere for at least a couple more years. Miami and FSU are powers you have to compete with.
Flip side of that is none of those schools you mentioned here want him at UF.

Everyone knows UF is the better job but does he want the pressure cooker that is the SEC? If he says "yes" to UF then he has accepted that challenge if not then thats a "no".

Wouldn't want to accept the challenge of the SEC but accepted the challenge of the NFL

Well the SEC rant said he signed with Florida 2 days ago.

Southern California or a shitty college town in the middle of an endless swamp?
If all things are relatively equal, only an idiot would choose Gainesville. It is, with the possible exception being Starkville, the worst town in the SEC.

The sec rant said the ink was dry from chip signing the Florida contract .

My guess is Chip probably landed in Gainesville and realized that the only restaurant there is a Dave and Busters and left.

If I were him I’d take the UCLA job

Where would you rather live, Los Angeles or Gainsville?

From what I've read about Kelly, I don't think he would fit well in Gainesville, even though it's the better job. Reminds me a little bit of Billy Clyde Gillispie, who would have been a legend had he stayed as the basketball coach at A&M, but couldn't resist the lure of the Kentucky job, where he face planted and never recovered. I could see the same happening with Kelly if he doesn't have smooth sailing from the get go.

+1 These SEC homers are hilarious. His offense won't work in the SEC. Same crap we used to hear about Urban Meyer.

That's a factor, but not the only one.
Chip likely has enough connections to enable him to do some "vetting" of the UF and UCLA internal environments.
All things considered, UCLA just seems to be a better fit for him. If UCLA is agreeable to the terms he wants ($s, control, staffing, etc.), he'll probably choose UCLA.

Coaches dont leave OSU, LSU, Bama, Michigan and UF to go to friggan UCLA
But they do fake health issues to get away from Florida. They also fake news of death threats after winning back to back division titles.
You're kidding yourself if you think coaches don't pay attention to that.

Urban faked to get away from Saban, so he could run to his dream job at OSU

Exactly, if it was passed onto him that UF was so bad, Chip wouldnt answer the phone

UCLA is a better job if you want to get to the playoffs.
Easier path
Only have to recruit against USC.
No Saban to play.
