Well it would wreck our recruiting for sure. Didn't Bobby Petrino leave Atlanta for Arkansas during the season?

Yes, but Chip Kelly wouldn't go out in a similar manner. Petrino got murdered for that, and I don't believe for a second that the media reaction to his departure from Atlanta didn't hurt his recruiting.

Chip Kelly would likely resign, but he'd likely talk to the team first. He'd go out like a man, looking the players in that locker room in the eye and accounting for his decision.

That's my opinion.

But, the problem is he would wait until the end of the year, especially if there is any hope of playoffs. This is why the Harbaugh thing was so difficult last year. Michigan may have thought they had things locked up behind the scenes, but even with that SF trainwreck, Harbaugh had to say he wanted to be there and you never knew if Oakland or Jerrah or somebody was going to come in with $10 million and franchise control. Guys like Schefter were saying until the very end that he wasn't going to college. The only way that Chip ends up in college is if he gets fired in the next couple of weeks IMO, although USC might have the patience to wait.
