Chip Kelly Expected to Take Ohio State OC Job

He saved Penn St after the Sandusky stuff hit the fan 

He did. That helped him land the Texans HC position. All he did there is trade the best receiver in the league for a carton of smokes and a 12 pack of PBR. He set that franchise back and has been trash everywhere since.

Why would an active head coach take another job that is a step down? Makes me wonder about Chip Kelly. Coordinator jobs are usually taken by fired head coaches.

It’s odd. What’s he going to do at Ohio State to really help himself? Ryan Day has had great offenses at Ohio State. It’s not like Chip is going to a defensive HC and will credit for getting them over the top, like Sark, Kiffen, or Monken (Georgia).

I would add OL.. OSU has struggle there the last few years and bringing in the Chuck Knoblach of centers from Bama to help fix it is questionable 

Love the Chuck K reference. 

This is crazy. WOW....

I think this is a bad hire for Day.  I am not sure Kelly has the energy to recruit anymore. Kelly also does not like the NIL era right now.  Kelly also has not matched the success that he had at Oregon.  This could be disastrous for Day.  
 

Chip won't have major responsibilities with NIL/recruiting at Ohio State like he did at UCLA. 

Ohio State has our former aggie athletic director...he probably offered Chip Kelly $10M/year for 10 years guaranteed to get him:) Hook'em
