Chip Kelly likely leaving UCLA for Ohio State OC job

[Frozen]

Sucks to be UCLA.

 

[Symphony Steve]

Don't see someone like Kelly doing well chafing under someone else's control.

Also don't ever see him as Ohio State's head coach.

 

[Nick44]

That’s like the head coach of the Bills leaving to become the offensive line coach at Alabama. Oh wait.

Chip Kelly and the UCLA people definitely did not like each other. This is probably for the best.

Isn't Day an O guy? Why did he need BOB and now Chip?

I don't think UCLA is mad about this. They're looking at a 1 or 2 win season next year. He's completely checked out coaching and recruiting.

The kids are left high and dry. Sucks for the players is what I mean.

UCLA will be a bottom feeder in Big Ten next year

They might go winless in conference

Chip Kelly must have really wanted out of UCLA

 

[UnknownOrange]

chip kelly's idea that football across the country be independent I think could have seriously worked if the NCAA had a commissioner or any sized set of balls

tOSU’s coaching salary budget is clearly limitless.

Good thing schools don’t have to pay players. How could they afford it?

This is a late coaching carousel. Now maybe Minnesota on deck.

So ucla sells out fantastic history to join the elite conference and has their head coach leave for an in-conference coordinator position. Bruin nation must be feeling great about their place on the food chain.

I get that they wanted out from Kelly but many have tried and failed there in an easier conference and more stable college fb environment. That isn’t gonna be a job anyone with options ever wants.

If this happens and makes Coyle’s life difficult, I am all for it, though I will feel bad for the Minny players. Then again, Fleck is a douche so maybe they will be happy

Would be a horrible hire

 

[djorange1989]

A client of mine has a son on the UCLA football team, sounds like all they know is they will have a new coach within the next 96 hours. Her son, and her and her husband, all are pretty stressed, gotta feel bad for these kids and their families

I wonder what the college football landscape is going to devolve into. What will it look like in 5 years? Will I still be able to get excited about it and SU? Hope so.

I’m not sure that this specific situation is an indictment of the broader landscape.

Kelly has wanted to escape from LA for a while. He found a landing spot extremely late in the carousel cycle and jumped. That’s never going to be typical.

Personally I think it’s a d!!ck move by him. If he wanted out so badly then he should have resigned in early December. He didn’t need to wait to find another gig, he has tons and tons of money.

And within the Big Ten conference, too.

There was talk earlier in the offseason that he would wait another year for this gig and then pounce if he got it. Would be a big move though.
