Ten Questions: 1. Will Northwestern's bet on Chip Kelly pay off?
Summary
Injury: Still recovering from a stupid summer cold (my own darn fault for not setting the Air Conditioning timer) so I looked him up.
Still recovering from a stupid summer cold (my own darn fault for not setting the Air Conditioning timer) so I looked him up. I knew he was definitely big time but this really had me excited (unless he has gotten a bit less "hot" in his old age). And then you have Rick Neuheisel.
From wiki -
On March 31, 2009, Oregon announced head coach
Mike Bellotti
would be promoted to athletic director, with Kelly promoted to head coach.
[13]
Kelly coached
Oregon
to BCS games in each of his four seasons as head coach: the
2010 Rose Bowl
,
2011 BCS National Championship Game
,
2012 Rose Bowl
, and
2013 Fiesta Bowl
. Kelly coached Oregon to three consecutive outright conference championships from 2009 to 2011 and a conference division title in 2012. Oregon won its second consecutive BCS bowl game after they defeated #5 Kansas State in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl. What may be considered the most important part of Kelly's résumé at Oregon, however, is that he posted undefeated records against the Ducks most hated rivals, the
Oregon State
Beavers
and the
Washington
Huskies
, something never before achieved by an Oregon coach.
Kelly was named the 2009 and 2010
Pac-10 Coach of the Year
, 2010
Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year
, 2010
Walter Camp Coach of the Year
, 2010
Sporting News Coach of the Year
, 2010
AFCA Coach of the Year Award
, and 2010
Associated Press Coach of the Year
