Based on this it looks like the hammer is going to drop on Oregon.

WEIRD hire by Tampa Bay; but i'm excited to see how his spread works in the NFL

I would think that is a terrible mistake by Kelly!

Well that's wild speculation...every time a coach leaves, the hammer is going to drop?

Something must be going down at Oregon. No way Chip Kelly runs the spread successfully at Tampa. Bad hire by the Bucs. Good move for Chip Kelly if he knows that sanctions are gonna be coming down on the Oregon program soon.

fwiw, just b/c he's a spread option guru in college doesn't mean he'll hire an OC to run that in the NFL

it's likely, but nowhere guaranteed

Why?

If he flames out in the NFL, he can just come back to college and get paid big bucks by a major program

I'd be stunned if Kelly didn't insist on calling plays.
