First he was, then he wasn’t now he has. Oregon football coach Chip Kelly is soon to become former Ducks head coach and new Philadelphia Eagles head coach.<\/p>\n
My thoughts at first was this was the typical ploy by the hot college football coach to work the system for more money out of his college institution. \u00a0However, now that Kelly has actually taken the NFL job, I am wondering if this smells of bad things to come for the Ducks football program. \u00a0Kelly’s bolt to “The League” has the looks of someone who really enjoyed his perch near the tip top of college football and was forced to consider his future standing due to impending ncaa bullets poised to break the windows.<\/p>\n
One must wonder if Kelly’s initial spurn of the NFL was greeted with a closed door meeting with his agent in which the apparent dangers of staying on a sinking ship were addressed. \u00a0Kelly runs a college football offense. \u00a0I maintain that it will only take one offseason of NFL defensive coordinators analysis for quarterbacks to begin taking a pounding while running the read option in the pros. \u00a0Kelly is smart enough to see the same and perhaps initially realized that the butter was dripping off of the college football side of the bread. \u00a0However, nothing can burn some toast like NCAA sanctions.<\/p>\n
This is a bad sign for the Oregon Ducks football program. \u00a0We have seen this movie before. \u00a0I personally watched Dennis Erickson head for the Seattle Seahawks in 1995 and passed NCAA officials with a near death sentence in the Miami International Airport concourse. \u00a0More recently, \u00a0Pete Carroll drove out of the blocks like Usain Bolt to the Seattle Seahawks and USC was riddled with NCAA gun fire in the aftermath. \u00a0There have been other instances in-between these two mentioned.<\/p>\n
My guess is the NCAA is at the doorstep of the Oregon Ducks waiting to raid the tower. \u00a0I envision the build up to the final scene in Scarface where the bad guys were jumping the wall and taking out Tony Montana’s security detail. \u00a0Duck fans should be pouring a tall glass of concern into their worry cup. \u00a0Does Chip Kelly know something?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
