I can’t imagine UCLA would be looking to hire an unproven first-year head coach as they enter into the Big 10.

Who better to hire than a disciple of Kelly’s who knows the system and the B10

Lots of the "old guard" want out of the portal/NIL reality we've built, eh?

CFB is turning into something where a coach has infinitely more responsibilities and concerns than an NFL job does. I won’t blame any coach who leaves for the NFL.

There’s no other place where you’re entire roster is basically on a one year deal.

This late in the cycle it probably wouldn’t be ideal for UCLA or White.

Kelly makes roughly 6 million at UCLA while an average salary as an NFL OC is just a little north of 1 million.

I'm not buying that Kelly is actively looking to reduce his annual salary by 5 million because of the NIL/Transfer portal headaches a college head coach has ..

Depends if Chip wants another bite at the pro HC apple

This and it's worse than that because it's week to week as some guys (even though they can't officially enter the portal until a certain date) are quitting in the middle of the season and announcing their intention to leave and preserving things like redshirts and such. So it's like living at the whims of young people from day to day.

Then add the tampering that we know is happening and being a coach is just an absolute nightmare.

Jonathan Smith is a Pasadena native. I wonder if he would have preferred UCLA (if the money was similar).

I agree with this. And I’m not sure I buy what I’m about to say, but this could be a timeline resetting decision as well as a move that allows him to get another good HCing job sooner rather than later. His contract runs through 2027 and he will be fired if they have a bad first year in the B1G. If so, he’ll be owed 18.6M, probably negotiate down to about 10 to walk away and give him the freedom to take the best job. Now he’s negotiating his next contract after having been fired twice. He can get an OC job I’m sure. But at this point he’s probably not going to be a HC again. Which means his future potential earnings will be $1-2m max per year.

If he leaves now, he’s leaving $10m on the table. And his future potential earnings could make up for the difference if he does well as an OC in the NFL. He’d get another shot as a HC with only one firing.

Kelly just doesn’t like to recruit anymore, regardless of NIL etc.
