His innovative offensive assault gained more national attention once Duck Head Coach Mike Belotti resigned and Kelly was named his replacement. Since taking over in 2009, he has led the high powered Ducks to two Rose Bowl appearances and a close National Championship game loss in 2011.

I had this realization during Monday Night Football, and it is so obvious I don’t know why it hasn’t been discussed more in depth before.
I honestly don’t see Chip Kelly leaving Oregon, at least not yet, since he still hasn’t won a National Championship. But, if he were to leave, the Philadelphia Eagles would be the perfect fit for him and his offense. They have a wealth...
