Oregon's Chip Kelly, the only current FBS coach who has never married, continues to succeed, garnering interest from the NFL, where 30 of 32 coaches have wives. "Part of the attraction to Chip was he had nothing to concentrate on but football," says ESPN analyst and former Ducks AD Mike Bellotti.

Interesting

ETA: Kelly also didn't play college football, and I'm not sure if he ever played organized football at all.

I've always said you can't trust a fella that won't have a drink with you and/or doesn't like pussy.

I think Collin Klein's first kiss ever being at the altar is a more amazing stat.

he can enjoy the millions of dollars that he has earned without having to deal with the threat of a female who could take it away thanks to the legal loop hole of marriage (aka a piece of paper) that basically legally allows theft if she ever decides to leave him.

smart man if you ask me.

He was a star player at Manchester (NH) Central High School, according to his coach:

"“I’m really proud to say I coached him, and to call him a friend,” said Bob Leonard, Kelly’s coach in football and track at Manchester (N.H.) Central High School. “He was in my wedding. Since day one, we’ve been friends. He’s the best.”

Kelly was a star in both sports for Leonard, but his athletic background traces back much further. He is the third of four brothers, all athletes. Their parents supported the boys’ athletic endeavors; their father, Paul, later became a regular presence at UNH football practices when Kelly played there."


"But team sports were Chip Kelly’s calling. He played CYO basketball, and was a rugged winger in the Manchester Regional Youth Hockey Association. Truth be told, hockey was Kelly’s first love, but he was better at football, which ultimately became the focus of his energies."

"At Manchester Central, Kelly ran the second leg on a 4x100-meter relay team that once held the New England record, Leonard said. Quick feet made Kelly a whiz through the turn, and helped him in football as well. He took over at quarterback for Central’s “Little Green” — a nod to nearby Dartmouth College’s Big Green — as a sophomore, also playing safety."

Isn't Kliff Kingsbury a current FBS coach?
