Mississippi State should hire Chip Kelly

He would have just as much if not more leeway than he has had with UCLA and could make them decently competitive by their standards with some good recruiting classes. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to give him an interview

UCLA would owe him $9m in buyout money.

They will change there name to the Chippissippi Chipwagons

He's 59, looks 75, I wonder if he will retire now.

No

I always felt like he was a west coast guy

Chip has been in check cashing mode for a decade at this point.

That’s who the Bulldogs should hire

I want some young up and comer that could build something. I didn't know the Sumrall guy from Troy until all of this started but he's intriguing. We are at a "roll the dice" state at this point. I think we get a pass on firing a 1 year coach due to the circumstances around the hire. People saw our team and I don't think anyone is shocked that we fired a guy less than a full season. It was eerily similar to Croom wanting to come in with that "West Coast offense" and had no west coast players. He should have played to our strengths and slowly move to his game through recruiting his type of players. Instead, he threw the baby out with the bath water.

I think he could complete what Mike Leach started—using a gimmick offense to make MSST reasonably competitive in the SEC.

Seems like Kelly has no interest in CFB anymore. He certainly isn't recruiting worth a damn and he isn't Mike Leach (who could always overcome recruiting through his playbook). They can do better, tbh.
