It’s not as if only Chip Kelly can run the type of offense he ran at Oregon. It doesn’t take a PhD to duplicate what he’s done, it just takes game tapes and the ability to pause and rewind.
What was innovative 10 years ago, has been run by many schools with additional wrinkles. So why has no one duplicated, for the most part, what he’s done, since the blueprint is so readily available?
Because defenses catch up, tons of game tape is available and people figure it out. Things that were innovative during his Oregon heydays are commonplace today.
If Kelly can recruit, motivate, lead, and build he MAY have some success. Maybe. The last few years are telling me that the most important factor, leadership, is sorely lacking with this weirdo. One mildly successful year, his first, and then failure after miserable failure in the NFL. So the recent evidence says he’s a failed coach, a poor leader, and a quitter.
Not worried about him. If he ends up in turdland, the bloom will be off the rose in a couple of years.
