According to Benjamin Solak of the Ringer, UCLA head coach Chip Kelly interviewed with the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday night for the offensive coordinator spot. Kelly has been flirting with the NFL for quite a few weeks and is now in the running for another job.
“Sources: [UCLA] HC Chip Kelly is interviewing with the Seattle Seahawks for their offensive coordinator job tonight,” Solak said via X. “Chip has garnered a ton of NFL interest, and the Seahawks have had rumored interest in his offense for much of this cycle.”
Reports earlier in February stated that Kelly interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders to become the offensive coordinator. He was also linked with the Washington Commanders after they hired a defensive-minded head coach, Dan Quinn. Both franchises went in different directions but Kelly still may have an opportunity to jump back into the NFL.
Kelly has been at UCLA for the last six seasons, currently sporting a 35-34 record in Westwood. The past three seasons have resulted in the Bruins bowl eligibility, a streak the program has not been on since
