Chip Kelly stepping down from UCLA to become Ohio State OC

[Woodrow Call]

He was about to get the axe away. Overall a .500% record at UCLA.

Not necessarily. The AD, who really needs to go, wanted to keep him, and the school didn't want to pay the $9mil buyout. They were stuck with him for at least another year.

Good points and likely true. I was thinking likely at the end of this season. I meant he was feeling some heat and found a good opportunity to bolt. I'm a true luckeye/bucknut hater but it is a good gig.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Just lost his QB to the transfer portal and it’s well known that he hates recruiting. College football needs to be fixed.

Kelly was a square peg - roundholer in CF.

Jeff Halfley left Boston College as the HC to become DC for the Packers. Lesser job? eh, its not being a HC. Its like leaving Cessna as the CEO to become Director of Operations for Boeing

These days Cessna might be a much better job.

Heh, was thinking the same thing. Being a big fish in a small pond is not overrated. At all. Especially if the big pond has lots of issues.

Well thats interesting. Dont see that often where the coach actually goes to a lesser job without actually getting fired first.

Report: Chip Kelly expected to leave UCLA for Ohio State OC job

He must have felt the heat. One firing and he'd probably be untouchable.

Or Bombardier.
