insane that a guy who is so good at college coaching hates it so much. i think he stays in the nfl as an assistant.


That's due to the recruiting aspect. In college football, a head coach has to be a hands-on recruiter. A HC can delegate on-field coaching like Dabo does or Bowden and Paterno did during their later years but you really cannot delegate recruiting. Head coaches have to be actively involved, be comfortable in recruits' living rooms, shake some hands, create ties with high school football coaches, etc... That's just something Chip did not like to do.

He's totally jumped the shark. It's a gimmick offense that won't be nearly as effective now that so many teams run it.

Not saying it won't still be effective but he's not some mastermind. Tempo is not groundbreaking.

Aranda and Canada > Kelly and this is from someone that said the O hire was a disgrace.

Yep, being a college HC is much more of a 24/7/365 job than a NFL HC job is. At least in the NFL you have a real offseason, in college the offseason is spent living on the road trying to convince 17 year old kids to come to your school

Very true, which is weird because he was pretty good at it. He could have become a God in cfb had he not made the jump.
