You do realize Kelly has met with BB in NE at three times to give them advice on their offense and how to make it better in the NFL?

This would be a perfect fit for where the NFL is going.

Again, People need to get a clue before they post.

Kelly advises NE how to run their offense and helped them tweak it this season. Have you noticed how fast the Pats get the the LOS this season? It is a one word system that Brady hells out, usually a one syllable word. Suggested by Chip.

Fast forward to 0:28

Chip Kelly has intelligence. Freaky intelligence.

And I have no doubt that in the NFL he would build a juggernaut and be a trend-setter, not a follower.

This is what we want: The Chiefs' Way. Let our castoff assistant GM's and coaches go out and ruin other franchises while we pile up trophies.

Back up a Brinks Truck to his house, Clark.

So Pioli has the best shot at landing him here?

BINGO.

Oregon is my team, so though I would be sad.. I would be all over it if he left for the Chiefs..

Him plus Geno, face paced uptempo offense?? yes.. But it will never happen, we are Chiefs fans for now..

Well we know that will never happen.

pretty much this. Kelly is a hot commodity and he will probably bail on Oregon if the Ducks win a championship. He turned down TB already and it's not like the cupboard is bare in Tampa. He's a good coach for sure, he's run a traditional pro offense and a spread offense at Oregon. His teams are all about speed.

if kc goes after him, its gonna be a tuff sell IMHO, but perhaps its the exact challenge Kelly would like?

I really hope you all don't get him.

I'm up for Kelly if he adapts to the NFL game.

NFL defenses are more equipped to stop no-huddle, because they are starting to build defenses with talent who can play in any formation (Poe is a perfect example). And the fast-paced nature of his offense is going to make it really difficult to speed up his defense. Also, he can't run a pure spread in the NFL -- it has to be one more centered around a strong QB.

I'm sold on the idea that he's a disciplined coach. I love his innovative style, and think he is smart enough to know that he can't do the same shit in the NFL. But it does carry some of that risk that his methods may not work in the NFL.

Oregon is #1 in coaches poll

Kelly will likely win the title this year unless k state can stop him

Chip to KC

Report: Multiple NFL teams eyeing Oregon's Chip Kelly


More than a few NFL teams will replace their current coach with somebody new after the season. More than a few NFL teams appear interested in Oregon's Chip Kelly.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that multiple franchises are plotting ways to speak with Kelly and lure him away from the college ranks.

If Oregon wins a national championship, the hyper-competitive Kelly might be willing to enter the pro game, where his unorthodox up-tempo offense already has seeped into NFL circles. Kelly's scheme was leaned on earlier this season by the New England Patriots and we're seeing strains of it across the league.

Last month, one NFC executive told Daniel Jeremiah: "He runs the best practices I've ever seen. I would hire him in a second if I ever had the opportunity."

Kelly's approach to the game is drenched in innovation. He's no stranger to going for it on fourth downs, and his style would, in many ways, buck the perceived safe approach used by a majority of NFL coaching staffs.

Oregon doesn't want to see Kelly exit stage left, but we don't expect his name to go away as winter approaches.
