Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted April 14 Watching Chip Kelly on the sideline in Ohio State gear yesterday, during the Buckeyes Spring Game attended by 80,012 fans, was unusual and interesting. As Chip said when interviewed by Fox's Joel Klatt and asked about the move from UCLA: "I just want to coach football." This a succinct answer at a time when College Football has never been more popular, and at a time when the regulation of College Football has been neutered; especially, when it comes to holding a roster together. Football coaches have to recruit high schools, recruit the transfer portal, and then re-recruit players they have already recruited. There is no control over transfers, including multiple transfers by a player in the same season, and tampering is the name of today's game with no one able to spank those doing the tampering. Football coaches also have to be fundraisers, doing everything they can to ensure that adequate NIL money is available. This Yahoo Sports article, with a focus on the B1G, is a good recap of where the game stands today. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Charles Dickens.
