6 hours ago6 hr Moderator No. Chip Kelly is coming back to the Big TenNorthwestern is hiring Chip Kelly as its new offensive coordinator, ESPN reports. Kelly, whom the Las Vegas Raiders fired as offensive coordinator in November, joins David Braun's staff.
5 hours ago5 hr No. Well, if Willie Taggart can find a job as running back coach in the NFL (Ravens), I am sure there will always be job opportunities for 'Ol Chipper. Success defined at Northwestern looks a heckuva lot different than success in the NFL, so good luck to him. I am not at all concerned about how this impacts any head to head matchups with OBD.
2 hours ago2 hr No. I guess he's planning on NIL doing the recruiting for him.While I appreciate all he did when at Oregon, I wonder if he should be getting all that credit?How much was Bellotti? Or Helfrich?Was he a one-hit-wonder or just a flash-in-the-pan?
1 hour ago1 hr No. Chip emphasized three things while he was at Oregon that have become elementary to good college football. The mesh between the QB and the running back that allows the Quarterback to read the defense before either releasing or keeping the ball. The tempo between plays making the “hurry-up” that formerly was used only at the end of the half or end of the game common to the first possession and throughout the game. Physical conditioning to the extreme, so that Ducks on both sides of the ball could withstand the faster tempo and increased number of plays.Since the opponents we not trained and ready to defend what OBD presented, both as Bellotti’s OC and as head coach, the Ducks under Chip won lots of games using players who had fewer stars coming out of high school.The Ducks won lots of games in the 4th quarter simply by wearing out their opponents.
