At Oregon, Chip took over a very good, well stocked Belloti team, won with Belotti's players for three years, but as his players he recruited started playing, lost two games his third and last year.
He's stated clearly that the best thing about the NFL is he doesn't have to do recruiting - which he dislikes.
Now he's tanking in the NFL, made some ****poor decisions on personnel, managed to **** off the Eagles organization, Eagle fans born, Eagle fans passed, and all Eagle fans yet to be born.
He has a lot of upside, but anyone can see the potential for a lot of headaches as well when he's your coach.
Winning cures all and he would win here. It's a lot easier to control college kids that aren't millionaires. You get them in the stage of their career where they are pursuing millions, and they work their *** off and buy in when he can prove his stuff works. His system relies on his own diet, exercise plan, sports science, sleep plans, practice routines are done exactly the way he wants... and lets be real, NFL players aren't buying into that stuff. He can control whatever he wants at college and it will work and players will buy in and high school kids are going to be lined up out the door to play for him. It's reality.
He didn't like recruiting at Oregon because their wasn't a 2* player within 100 miles of campus, he had to go to California for everything. He comes to UM, he can walk out in the road and bump into a future Denzel Perryman, Lamar Miller, Duke Johnson, Allen Hurns, Dorsett etc. Imagine some of them in that offense...
