If we try to hire Kelly and UCLA tries to hire Kelly, assume most things equal, and for argument sake, lets say Kelly selects to become HC at UCLA, then we really don't want him anyway. I think Chip would prefer a high paying Big 12 or Pac 12 job where defenses are so rare, they are almost impossible to find. I am not a Kelly guy, but would understand if we hired him. I would prefer an overall deeper thinker about football, who will not get flustered on weekly basis when games are more rough and tumble. Close games that are high scoring are less taxing on a coach and he does not feel he has to manage the game as closely. In the SEC, one mistake from the coach can cost you the game.
