I have been on the Kelly bandwagon for a while now. He's probably the best young offensive mind in college football. Both receivers get hurt for Oregon...no big deal. Dennis Dixon takes the summer off to play baseball...no problem...we'll just turn him into one of the best qb's in the nation.

He's extremely creative (in a new hamshire game a few years ago the qb went down and they ran the single wing spread option, on the fly, way before anyone in D-1A was doing it). The players in Oregon love him and he is very well liked by coaches across the country...within in the coahing ranks he is considered one of the rising stars.

He will be a head coach somewhere soon; I would not mind it at all if it were here.

The thing that scares me most about hiring the brilliant young minded assistant coaches as a head coach is that it can backfire very quickly. (Of course a name coach could as well) I'm reminded of the bright young coordinator the Dallas Cowboys hired near Tom Landry's departure. A fellow by the name of Paul Hackett who presided over disasters in Pittsburgh and USC since then as well as several assistant pro metdowns.

But then everything is a roll of the dice.

I think he is the next Jeff Tedford. Makes Belotti look like a better coach than he is. Also, did a better job with Oregon's offense than Gary Crowton

chip kelly runs a mean offense, is he ready to be a head coach. would gary crowton make people more comfortable? head coaching experience at 2 schools, although byu was short lived. since then he has tutored under mike belotti and now les miles.

Gary Crowton did a horrible job as the OC at Oregon. Kelly has done an insane job with the same players.

Oh you've never heard of him? I'll make sure to get your contact info to Steve Orsini so he can give you a call before he makes his final decision to make sure you have heard of him...clearly that's one of the job qualifications.
