Chip Kelly Expected to Take Ohio State OC Job

What a wild turn of events coming from Ryan Day's program.

As it looks currently, Buckeyes OC Bill O'Brien will head to Boston College to take over the head coaching job.

To fill the void, UCLA Head Coach Chip Kelly is expected to make the jump down to offensive coordinator according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.

What an unprecedented move here. New era of CFB.

I just can't believe this.

How bad a situation must UCLA be for coaches right now?

Agreed! Think about the new challenges they are facing trying to win a conference, when they couldn't overcome the Pac 12 competition. Now they are still hitched with the few great Pac 12 programs, but they have the new Big 10 teams to face. Not to mention the logistics nightmare of actually traveling to play road games.

Someone actually chose to hire Bill O'Brien to be a head coach again??

The agent-fed lists of replacements being published are pretty meh. Hard to believe UCLA, in that locale, isn’t leveraging corporate NIL better.

Really thought he was going to the NFL, guess he couldn't get interviews.

QB though?

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

He saved Penn St after the Sandusky stuff hit the fan

This is a great hire if Chip is the play caller IMO

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.

What a horrible look for UCLA. Their program is a disaster.

Over the last 6 years or so Ohio State is the Oklahoma of the BIG, they always have a stellar offense and win the conference more times than most. When it comes time to win a natty they poop the bed.
