Chip Kelly on his offense in the NFL: Dont know, havent been there
Quote
Oregon coach Chip Kelly is expected to get at least one NFL job offer after his team plays in Thursdays Fiesta Bowl. But as successful as Kellys system has been at the college level, Kelly himself admits that he has no basis for saying whether or not it would work at the next level.
Dont know, havent been there, Kelly said.
Three NFL head coaches left college head-coaching jobs to take their current positions, but all three of them had very different backgrounds than Kelly: Jim Harbaugh was an NFL player for 14 seasons and an NFL assistant for two seasons before getting the head job at Stanford and then jumping to the 49ers. Pete Carroll was an NFL head coach in two different spots and had four different NFL assistant jobs before becoming head coach at USC and then leaving for the Seahawks. And Greg Schiano had three seasons of experience as an NFL assistant before going to Rutgers and then leaving for the Buccaneers.
Kelly, on the other hand, has zero NFL experience and had never even had any experience in major college football before Oregon hired him, first plucking him out of relative obscurity at the University of New Hampshire to coordinate the Ducks offense, and then promoting him to head coach. And Kelly is a much less conventional coach than Harbaugh, Carroll and Schiano: Kelly runs a spread offense that has only very recently begun to be incorporated in the NFL, and he also has a different approach to game day strategies and play calling: Kelly will go for two at times when any NFL coach would kick an extra point, hell go for it on fourth down at times when any NFL coach would punt, and he generally delights in taking the unconventional approach to his business.
But Kelly does say he believes he can accommodate his style of coaching to any type of personnel on his team.
Theres a lot of ways to play football, Kelly said. Trends go one way and the other. . . . Any coach is going to learn from other people and see how they can implement it in their system. Anything you do has to be personnel driven. You have to adapt to the personnel you have. Theres a lot of great offenses out there, but does it fit with the personnel you have. The key is making sure what youre doing is giving your people a chance to be successful.
With both the Eagles and the Browns expected to interview Kelly this week, and other teams potentially having interest as well, Kelly will almost certainly get the opportunity to show that he can be successful in the NFL.

8-8.
And before you say it, your teams trophy case has nothing to do with this season.
Man, that's shameful, he shouldn't be allowed to post in this thread.
I'll just leave this here...

...then back away slowly.
Wonder if this clown would have traded his whole draft for Tebow?

Yeah well guess what, Steelers got a better draft pick and guess what else we'll have something in common. We'll both be winning 0 trophies this year.

It is a somewhat uncomfortable crush that he has for that man.
In other news...
Charles Woodson has been medically cleared to play this saturday!!! *see avy*
Wood is gonna lay the wood on the vikebikes
We will see my friend. We are in the tournament once again so anything can happen! One mid-range draft pick isn't going to help you rehaul that defense.
Seems to be Haslam and Banner are going to offer him as much control as he wants. He'll be the guy and they'll build everything else around him as he wants. Then they'll get a GM/Personnel Guy afterwards.
Our team is pretty young too so, for a coach with no NFL experience, he may find it easier getting across to them(?)
From the sounds of it Haslam is also willing to buy out the Penn State coach's contract which may be $10m~ as a second choice. So why not just use that on luring Kelly instead. It's obviously who he wants.
Jadaveon Clowney or Marqise Lee. I could easily be missing some names.
One thing to know about Chip is he doesn't play along with the media at all. He refuses to address hypotheticals of any sort. So while he's being somewhat truthful, he also wouldn't say otherwise even if he thought differently.

Sounds like Tony Grossi is going to love this.
BlackGhost seems you were right I am seeing him be a bit snarky about things when I actually read his articles and not his tweets.
Do you know this from personal experience Dutch?
Local sports radio guy unveild his plan to remove Tony Romo from the Cowboys. And to then replace him with Tim Tebow. Yes, please!
Upon further reflection, he'd be a good Mike backer in LeBeau's scheme. I don't think he'll be able to cover anyone and should probably come out on third downs. Like a younger Larry Foote!

He's got more playoff berths and wins in Denver than Cutler does. He also has as many playoff wins as Cutler, period.
Not to mention Chicago has never beat Tebow.
Tebow never quit on his team in the playoffs despite playing with broken ribs and a bruised lung irc.
Ditka is right to a certain degree.
Join Browns-GAF, you already are part of the shame circle. You'd feel at home with us.
Johnny Manziel will declare next year wont he? For teams starved of a good young QB this year is a bit of a crapshoot. If Manziel could declare this year he'd go #1 currently you would think. Not sure he goes before Clowney next year though... depends how QB needy those same teams are.
Purple Jesus would rise again after only two days.
I do find it interesting that all of Packers-GAF seems to hate Gus Johnson though.
Hmm......

I think Manziel's size will hurt him. He's not 6'4" 235lbs, so he might drop. Doesn't necessarily mean he couldn't play, see: Wilson, R.
He also plays in a spread offense, so there might be questions about his ability to play in a pro-style offense, read defenses, pocket presence, etc.
His mechanics are ass.
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Oh my goodness this is the worst franchise ever.
The man completely fails in an attempt to improve ANY position on defense in the offseason--the same defense that had one of the worst secondaries ever.
Yet, his "biggest mistake" is counting on Best to come back from a major concussion that doctors told him he shouldn't come back from.
I hate this team.

Pete is in the playoffs though... I'll take it!
