Chip knows he has lost all momentum at UCLA, and he doesn't have the energy to climb up the absolutely brutal transfer/NIL mountain. Good move for him, and Ohio State is incredibly fortunate not to be stuck with BOB right now.

Sounds like ad wanted to fire him at end of season but didn’t.
Kelly said f that
I’m dead man walking now
Let me find an escape hatch
That’s why he sent resume to every nfl team and would rather take a demotion to not have to deal with nil

Chip Kelly clearly hates Asians IMO

That’s why he wants to go to Ohio

He needs a better agent. Everyone else would be happier getting fired to get that buyout money. He would have gotten an OC job after getting fired.

Some coaches are not like Jimbo Fisher.
Or the worst-case scenario ended up like Chad Morris.

He wants to call plays. Doesn’t want to beg people for money and recruit. Plus he’s going to the big 10. Not a demotion

I think Chip Kelly likes guys. You’d think he would love LA.

Probably a good move for him. This stuff keeps this board alive.

Kelly if he had stayed would get $10.37M ($6.1M salary plus $4.27M buyout) for coaching this season and getting fired in 10 months.

Kelly leaving might net nothing or close to it bc now he owes UCLA a $1.5M buyout.

They backed out of firing him. Seemed like they were just going to ride it out. Kelly was like nah i can’t do this anymore. He paid to gtfo basically. Nothing to do with the agent.

He could have done that at UCLA.

He has been a college coach for years and you think he does not like to recruit?

UCLA joins the Big 10 on 7/1/24.

Definetely a demotion. He just saved himself the embarassment of getting canned next season.

I think this will be one more common. As people have already stated, if you don’t want to recruit in the first place then you definitely do t want to re-recruit your roster every year.
