Chip Kelly Left UCLA Head Coach Job To Chase Fulfillment As Ohio State Offensive Coordinator

[@Peter-qq3io]

Bet he is gonna have a ton of fun this year being back with Ryan Day and not having to worry about recruiting as much.

[@jamesureel2853]

Sure but he’s also a hack and losing to Michigan/ not doing anything of note is right there with ucla and Day

College football has got to get these NIL rules under control if they want to retain coaches.

[@nah3193]

Eh coaches salaries have doubled in like a 5 year span. They need to figure out how to sign and pay players legally in a way that makes sense and brings some stability

[@MarkPerchatsch]

⁠That’s a tall task my friend, because not all positions are created equal. You’re not going to convince a QB to take similar money to a long snapper.

​@DB-pb8zl I mean being the DC of an NFL team is a very big upgrade from being HC of a bottom of the barrel college(Boston College). B.C will be lucky to finish with 6 or 7 wins in a sub-par conference. I like their young scrambling qb that they got and I wish buddy all the success possible, but BC is a sorry ass team so for the HC to leave for the NFL is definitely a promotion

[@findingtheFOOT]

Was a great time when he coached my Ducks. NFL stints were rough, UCLA stint was forgettable, but I hope he gets to show his skill as the great innovator he was.

[@GQJEDIglobal]

What Chip is NOT saying is he's relieved to be away from the BS politics of UCLA and just be a coach like most successful programs. UCLA's a program that treats itself like it's Alabama but never wins anything significant. Chip tolerated the crap to secure the bag, now he can just enjoy what he loves and actually win games.👀

[@chrisfair11]

What is also crazy is before Chip they had Bill OBrien signed on. Who was running the Texans, who had success as head coach of the Texans, who had major success at at PennSt... OSU is running to win the first expanded playoff title. And they're looking to stack the deck for Day to make it happen.

[@j.g.mcbell9494]

College football has effectively become a junior pro league. Most teams will just run under the structure of the “head coach” playing GM and game manager, with each coordinator playing head coach of their side of the ball. Which actually makes sense at the college level their rosters are 2x the size of the NFL’s 53+16 practice squad. D1 FBS programs get 85 scholarships plus an average of 33 walk-on’s. I bet a program like Ohio state has 50+, there’s no restriction.
