I certainly hope that no one tells Tampa that Chip is a system coach whose system is doomed to fail in the NFL.

FootballScoop.com has tweeted that Chip has accepted the offer.

Dominos muthafuckas.

Also, early word is that Ducks are interested in Gary Patterson (TCU).<br /><br />I believe Peterson just signed a big contract (5 years?) so it'd be very difficult to get him out of Boise.

Kelly doesn't come with a rich NFL history, he does fit Tampa Bay's profile in other ways. At 48, he's much more mature than Raheem Morris, the former Bucs coach. Kelly also has a reputation as a disciplinarian, another departure from Morris' profile. He's suspended two key players in recent years.

We'll have to wait and see though.<br /><br />Once again, this is a reminder to recruits that you shouldn't choose a school simply based on the coaches.

Not sure how people would feel about getting 3* recruits when our recent banter around here was the loss of all our 5* recruits since Lupaid left town.

/><blockquote><div class="name-said">Quote:</div><hr><b><br />Kelly is intrigued by the challenge of coaching at the highest level and not having to deal with parents and the NCAA oversights that are inherent to coaching in college, the source told Schad.</b><hr></blockquote>

I'd like to get BelottiBold's take on this. He is the only UofO rational poster on this site.

JT a candidate if kelly leaves?<br /><br />--- Who becomes a candidate if Kelly does leave? The offensive and defensive coordinators in Eugene, Mark Helfrich and Nick Allioti, probably don't get this job. I can't see Mike Bellotti returning, especially given that he's going to be measured against Kelly.<br /><br />So where does that leave Oregon?<br /><br />Jeff Tedford? Tony Dungy? Boise State's Chris Petersen? A source deeply connected with the Ducks athletic department mentioned all three to me after the Kelly confirmation was posted today.<br /><br /><a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a

Wilcox and To$$$h as his DC??<br /><br />...one can wish

Wow! I figured it would be another year or two before Chip went to the NFL and it would coincide with Calgang reaching their potential. Oh the drama!

Is Peterson really a viable option? I have to figure that the buyout will be astronomical. I guess uncle phil overcomes....and honestly why would he move - with BSU to the Big East he has his pathway to the BCS bowls MUCH easier to make.

Why would Peterson take UO if he turned down UCLA?

I didn't think this would happen for a little while longer. I don't know if its ego, sanctions, money or some combination of all 3, but I am glad he's leaving. I always assumed Knight would just back a dump truck full of money to his house and they'd be set, because even Kelly has to know his offense won't work in the NFL, right? <br /><br />The Pac is crazy this year. We really need to take advantage. God, I hope we do something.

Question: Who would exactly leave Oregon that would be a huge blow? The only one I can think of is Marshall, and he's not actually a big need for the Ducks.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">NJCalFan;689471 said:</div><hr>Why would Peterson take UO if he turned down UCLA?<hr></blockquote><br /><br />According to Ted Miller:<br /><blockquote><div class="name-said">Quote:</div><hr><br />If this happens and Kelly leaves, the name you would hear immediately would be Boise State's Chris Petersen. While his name comes up with just about every major opening, he has strong ties to Oregon. He coached there from 1995-2000. When people talked about jobs that might lure Petersen away from his comfort zone in Boise, Oregon often topped the list. <hr></blockquote>
