I would much rather use anchor plates on the bottom of the metal and bolt it to the concrete.
Do this by putting your J bolts in the concrete before it sets up.
Make a plywood pattern just exactly like the pattern of the support plate put your bolts and nuts one it and set it in the concrete so it doesn't move around or sink.

everything I've read says to have the top of the concrete slightly below grade when setting chain link fence posts; prevents frost heaving. In the above drawing, the concrete footer is 4" below grade. I will also put bolts through the posts prior to setting them in concrete to prevent them from pulling up after the concrete sets.
