My guess is timing and knowledge. Did Day know Kelly was looking for a new job until the NFL rumors started? Kelly was also probably feeling hopeful about NFL instead of College.
When the NFL passed on him and BOB moved on at about the same time... the stars aligned.
Kelly was in the running in the first cycle. The rumor is that Kelly pulled back because he wanted to give UCLA a chance to figure out how they can compete in the NIL world. UCLA basically came back to him and said they weren't going to change much which is why Kelly was ready to leave.
The other part that been reported is Kelly has said he just wants to coach. I think this is a big thing that the NCAA needs to address or they will lose good coaches. I think they need to rethink the amount or restrictions of who can recruit. They probably need to expand it to more than 10 or allow more coach only positions or more recruiter only positions.
