I don't think the players on any current roster would be a big factor for C. Kelly. He likely would want to go to a university that would look exciting to the type of talent he needs for his system to work. He would also need a university that loves football and is ready to worship a head coach. He would want a university eager and ready to host College Game Day. And he would need a university ready, willing and able to pay $4+ million per year.
That doesn't describe UCB, but a few other schools on that list probably would be viable.
UCB will not be winning a coach recruiting battle any time soon as most of the Power 5 schools would be able to outbid UCB. Most schools would also win on cost of living and outside endorsement opportunities too.  Some things are cyclical in sports, but right now UCB has a lot going against it if you are a coach looking for a big payday over the next 2-5 years.
