Of all the coaches that hate the current state of college football he may hate it the most.

most people don't actually have jobs they enjoy and your comment is proof of that.

Has there been a bigger fall from grace than Kelly? Good grief.

Probably. There are coaches that can’t get jobs because they’re not good at it.

Kelly is good enough to keep getting jobs when he wants one. He was just so good at Oregon because his offense wasn’t figured out quite yet. Now, it’s a pretty routine thing.


The guy likes doing what he’s doing without having to deal with all the HC responsibilities. I’m sure if he were dying to be a head coach, there’s at least one program that would hire him.

Yeah, not like he won a national championship with Ohio State as their OC or anything

I'm sure there are countless falls that have been bigger. Chip was the OC of a national championship team less than a year ago, which got him another NFL opportunity. It didn't work out, but the Raiders are a disaster anyway.

Landing another OC job at a B1G program isn't a bad gig. He'll likely improve Northwestern's offense, too.

When I heard about this at first I thought I was being pranked. I almost can't believe it. While didn't directly "steal" from the Buckeyes, just getting their OC from last year...I am amazed.

GO CATS!
