OT- Oregon asks UCLA for permission to talk to Kelly

[SFbayCane]

Chip Kelly was a true innovator in the game of football. I'd put his contributions to the sport right up there with guys like Bill Walsh and Jimmy Johnson.

I said it in the other thread but Chip has a chance to win early with this Oregon team Mario built. They were a QB away from being real CFP contenders imo. But if he doesn't win idk if Oregon is gunna be able to recruit highly enough for them to continue being a 10 win/yr type team.

Either way there will be a big recruiting drop off. But if he wins early he may be able to be good enough basically. They won't beat out anybody with USC...but it's not like they won't still have a lot of top options

mora's worst class was #20. kelly's best class was #19 in his translation class and hasn't been above #31 since. dude hates recruiting.

Just start engraving USC on the PAC12 Championship Trophy already.

Utah in in the same division as USC. I wouldnt go handing the title to USC that easily.

Yup. Unless he gets a **** load of stud recruiters I don't see them being anywhere close to top 15. But if they win first 2 years he can keep getting good players to keep rolling

There will be a mass exodus from Oregon's roster if they hire Kelly. He's recruited poorly at UCLA for a reason.

The fact that UCLA fans are begging Oregon to hire him should be enough of a red flag for the Oregon AD.

 

[GojiraCane]

UCLA should say no for the lulz

They should laugh. And then say no.

 

[Cribby]

Good luck. This rarely ends well.

He's ****ne Wenger.

He was an innovator, but the game caught up and passed him by.

So Oregon can net $9mm from Mario and then give Chip a massive staff budget. Just have to basically sacrifice a recruiting class.

 

[Juanka]

Oregon will finally have some longevity if Chip goes back. Suppose he can recreate some of that magic he had there before, and it will be a home run for them. I don't think he goes anywhere else after that.

 

[canes1977]

I don’t understand. Bryan McClendon is currently the Oregon coach. How can they start looking for other coaches while McClendon is serving in that role?

 

[hotshot]

So you mean when Oregon asks for permission, UCLA answers, "take him please!"?

Don't think the Bruins would be heartbroken. Chip surely hasn't resembled the old "up tempo, hi-octane offense" Chip from his Oregon glory days. UCLA will always be an attractive job so shouldn't have a difficult task in replacing him if he goes.
