The Chip Kelly sweepstakes took a dramatic twist Tuesday when UF’s top head coaching target met with UCLA.
The L.A. Times reported Kelly met with a contingent of athletics officials from UCLA as the Bruins look to replace Jim Mora Jr.
The meeting comes two days after UF flew to meet Kelly in his native New Hampshire. Officials returned Sunday night without a deal in place to make him the Gators’ next head coach. No formal offer reportedly was presented.
Kelly’s meeting with UCLA raised the specter the Bruins could be a better fit than the Gators.
