unreal that a coach is fired this late after the season is over. they must have a coach who has told them he will come. Who knew Chip K was in strong demand after a dismal NFL career

The only reason to explain this is they have Chip Kelly in the bag

Surprised they let him go. Would also be surprised if Chip went there

I don't know why Chip would go to Cal, but the timing of this is very strange. Cal is too broke to be paying for any buyouts without having a surefire plan in place.

Auburn has a H&H with Cal in 2023 & 2024 Chip will have turned them around and left by then

This is very unusual, and seems to point to a possible Chip Kelly hire.

With that said, Chip Kelly would be a complete moron to take that job.

Means absolutely nothing to coaching in college. I don't understand why people can't see that. They're not the same dude.

He can blame his lazy recruiting on high admission standards

timing is curious for sure


I know he interviewed at Baylor, but would that piss off the AD so much he would fire him weeks later?

Completely unexpected, but I agree with those who say the timing is suspicious.

I should have said "unexpectedly good news." There is nothing more frustrating than watching a Dykes defense and cringing at how bad it is every year.

If Chip ends up at Cal, I feel sorry for Taggart. Peterson, Leach, Anderson, Shaw and Kelly is one hell of a gauntlet.
