Looks like Chip Kelly is done

I have wondered about health, addiction, or something along those lines.
I don't think the game has changed that much in a decade. I suspect it is a personal thing going on.
Plus his recruiting reputation is similar to the story on Dan Mullen.

and The Ducks were smacked around for recruiting (3 yr probation) as he was leaving.

What happened to this guy after he left Oregon?

Did he have an edge for a while with the speedy spread offense, but then everyone else started doing it, and he didn't have another move?

That's kind of the take I had on him also. One trick pony.

He was the first to do the whole warp speed offense thing. Then coordinators started catching up. Went to the Eagles and pro D coordinators shut him down quickly. Just couldn't evolve further I guess.

Was really perplexed when quite a few on here wanted Kelly after we canned Botch.

I really wonder if the Bruins really thought this whole B10 thing through. They have barely had a pulse in football for 30 years. The wine and cheese crowd just doesn't fit in CFB lol. UCLA could very well be another Rutgers for the B10 in terms of quality. Even the also rans like Illinois, Indiana, etc will dominate the Bruins with things as they are

UCLA will challenge Michigan State and Michigan and Ohio State and give the Big 10 another potential Final Four entrant in the NCAA Tournament.

Yeah,they bring the viewers in basketball with match-ups against Purdue, Ohio State and Michigan State. Washington,USC and Oregon are for football. I don't think every choice with conference realignment is primarily meant for football.

I do agree about Kelly. The game has likely passed him by. He was always entertaining back at Oregon.

To be honest, I don't give a crap about basketball. Haven't watched a game at any level in 20 years for more than a few minutes. It's just not basketball to me any more. Really don't care if I ever watch another one.

Like it or not, for a P5 program FB is like 80 percent of your revenue-unless you are one of those schools like Duke, uconn, or even KY who focus exclusively on BB

Not that it has anything to do with Kelly really, but remember a few weeks ago when jewelry got stolen out of the Colorado locker room during a game?

Turns out the ones responsible were UCLA recruits on their official visit. Talk about a bad look. Geesh.

It’s stupid to have universities in the states of Oregon, Washington, and California as members of the Big 10 conference. Kind of like West Virginia in the Big 12. I hate what has happened to the Pac12.

I hate what has happened to all conferences. Ideally what happens with these superconferences is we end up with 20 team conferences with two divisions of 10 playing a 9 game schedule, then a "conference" championship or two week, four team tournament. Then we can just have one division in the SEC be the original 10 teams pre-USCjr and Arkansas.

In the UCLA games that have watched under Kelly, the offense looks nothing like what he ran at Oregon. The tempo UCLA runs is nothing like what Oregon did. There is no "blur" to the offense. It reminds me alot of Frost at Nebraska. That offense was not ran like the way he ran the UCF offense. They both had time to get there "guys" in but the offense was never able to kick it into 5th gear if you know what I mean.

It is a different era. Conferences were initially formed for the purpose of having a consistent group of opponents grouped close together for travel purposes (e.g., reducing cost and travel burdens on teams).

In an era with chartered air travel and television (e.g., money), it doesn't make sense for conferences to exist for travel purposes anymore. Everything has always been about the money, but in different ways.

Believe it or not, something like 60-70% of UK's athletic department revenue comes from football. About 50% of Duke's does. Football is just such a more popular sport that it brings in more money even at the basketball schools.

He received the show cause penalty by the NCAA and went to the NFL where his offense did not translate well. When he came back, he didn't have a competitive advantage due to some rule changes with substitutions in the game and he lost his recruiting advantage in the NIL era. His offense was predicated on speed. As that became limited, his system is just a run of the mill option offense. Good defenses can stop it. I was shocked that ucla hired him.

The best thing about Chip Kelly to UT fans is that he is a great example to Huepel that high tempo offenses don't translate as well to the NFL. Stay in college where you have success, while you have it.

It's the size of the stadiums/arenas. A large basketball arena seats 20,000. a large football stadium seats 100,000. A lot more tickets sold in football, assuming capacity is full at each.

Basketball also plays what, 20+ home games. The huge difference in revenue between the sports is more explained by the size of the TV deals for each sport.

IIRC he ran it in a time where you didn't have to allow the defense to sub and then the Saban rule killed him

Well even then Stanford was doing the injury thing to slow em down which worked. The thing I remember was that check that was written to kid in Texas I think that played for him at Oregon. Once came to light he bounced to NFL to avoid it. Then once in NFL the players were vocal about not recommending anyone ever play for him. To this day I think that affected his recruiting once he went back to college. Add to that Uncle Phils resources at Oregon funding almost anything needed and state of the art facilities was better than UCLA in modern era.
