I stumbled across this very interesting article this evening while doing some research on potential coaches.

The article states, "Don’t expect money to factor into Kelly’s decision. He spent 14 seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, University of New Hampshire, and cut his teeth at schools like Columbia and Johns Hopkins. Money has never been a guiding factor for Kelly’s career, and that’s not going to change with him reportedly owed more than $18 million the next three years. (No one is quite sure who owes him what.)"

Chip Kelly is a man who would bring immediate credibility, and he would save the recruiting class.

The man practically invented the up tempo, spread offense, but he also has an open mind to study others.

I also found it very interesting that he allegedly went to study Coach Cutcliffe's offense this spring.

I'm 100% sure it will NEVER happen, but at least we can dream.

Here is the really sad thing for us, it doesn't matter. The rest of the schedule is weak, and could possibly be finished anywhere from 5-7 to 7-5. Anything above 6-6 Butch isn't going anywhere.

Chip Kelly is who I would want for UT. I would say offer him 8 million to get him, he is a proven winner. Unfortunately I think CBJ is going to do just enough to keep his job. When we need to move on because recruits aren't buying it anymore it will be to late.

Make no mistake Tennessee will have to pony up.

Chip may not need money, but unless Butch is fired soon, there will be a bidding war.........and you can bet Chip don't want to be paid less than Butch.......he will command top 10 money......prob top 5 money.

This is the most interesting hire. Gary Patterson would be great too. My only concern with Chip Kelly is if his scheme is no longer cutting edge. Seems like many teams have copied it now.

Money is always a factor

Here's the thing as well. there may be a lot of big money programs who have screwed up their hires recently that will be willing to throw big money out there when the time comes.

Pls don't mention CK anymore he's a douche who would have been fired if he stayed at OS. Let's hire another Up and Comer from a mid-level school! Yea, bring M Hamilton on as a consultant! Even better, a High School Coach. He'll be cheap and we can cover BJ's $9.3M buyout. I'm full of it here, I know it. But not on Chip Kelly. I'll melt my class ring if that happens.

Chip Kelly has a show cause penalty in his recent past. I don't think we even try to hire him. Venables from Clemson if we do actually make a change, imo.

It may not be the deciding factor. But, it's at least #2. I would love to have Kelly! But we won't get him cheap.

A couple of fellows and myself on another thread was talking about this.

Kelly would be a splash hire, a good fit for the current roster and offense. He would be a safe hire as he does not have any buyouts or sanctions against him..plus he is a PROVEN HC

It would be STUPID for Tennessee to not consider him.

Many teams are using basically the same O right now.....just not as fast; however some of those teams are looking great doing it......it still works.

Chip will just want to recruit more "athletes" vs position players.........that along with the speed is what makes it work the way Chip works it.

Agreed. At first, I didn't like the idea of Kelly being at Tennessee. When it all comes down to it, he makes the most sense. We have the type of players on our roster that fits his system. He has no buy out or any NCAA sanctions against him.

It would be the safest hire with the right amount of money offered.

His show cause ended in like 2015. So that's not exactly recent

Also the NCAA stated, themselves that Chip did not commit any violation, and he did not even know that it did happen (I can provide links if needed). One guy from a recruiting service provided one recruit with free room and board and spending cash (less than $200) while on an evaluation visit to the recruiting service in Huston TX (one of the services Oregon used, and one of their recruits). The recruit did not have the resources for the evaluation visit......this was no excuse, and Chip himself made no excuses....even though he was not at fault......he/Oregon should have been more careful.

Also Oregon only lost 2 scholarships over 2 years (one each year).

This is a big nothing burger.

“It seems very realistic that the Vols could make a coaching move within the next 12 months, and if they do, Kelly would have to be at the top of their list. It also seems realistic that Kelly would be interested. Tennessee plays in the SEC, in a 100,000 seat stadium, and is a program that is willing to invest like few in college football.

If Kelly returns to college football, this seems like a near-perfect fit.”

You could be right, and heck if he did come and was not successful people like me would be left defending him and making excuses.

But can you explain why you don't think he would?

He was dominant at Oregon as the HC and was great at Oregon as the OC. The SEC East has not been very good lately, there has been No dominate D's (until maybe this year) and Certainly no dominant O's......and Chips O could be very dominant in the East. Tennessee has been recruiting great, and have recruited for a system somewhat like Chips.

Kelly's Oregon only lost by 3 (on Auburns final drive) to a Cam Newton Auburn team in the National Championship game. Not saying this game or any loss means a ton.......but that Auburn team was REAL good.

“I don’t think that people have it figured out,” Kelly said.

So why aren’t the Eagles putting points on the board? Kelly said it’s simply a matter of poor execution. Kelly said that if the plays were being executed properly, the Eagles’ offense would be effective even if everyone knew what was coming. Kelly said the NFL’s best offenses, like Denver and Green Bay, succeed with quarterbacks throwing perfect passes.

“I can tell you what Peyton Manning is going to do, but you still have to stop them and you still have to execute,” Kelly said. “I watched Aaron Rodgers last night, his first touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson, where he whizzed it by the kid’s head before he had a chance to turn around, put it right on the money where Jordy, the only thing he could do is catch it. It’s still about executing and I think everybody kind of knows going into the game plan, you’re not going to surprise people eight games in.”
