People have referenced the influence Adidas may have in this hire. I've always brushed that aside as nonsense. But, Chip presents a very unique opportunity for Adidas to make a huge splash. If he is even remotely interested, Blake should be on the phone with Adidas brainstorming. I would not consider it unreasonable for Adidas to donate an indoor practice facility if it meant having Chip Kelley coaching Miami.
is there precedent for that? athletic sponsors getting involved with coaching search? it would be huge for adidas if The U becomes a legit brand again...
