Multiple Sources - Chip Kelly Finalizing Contract with NFL Tampa Bay Bucs
by dvieira on Jan 22, 2012 5:37 PM PST
Email
PrintWith only one news agency reporting and a bunch of others reporting on that news agency reporting, I'm hesitant to even give this front page real estate until we can confirm it. KGW out of Portland is currently reporting that Oregon Ducks Head Football Coach Chip Kelly is in the final stages of a contract to coach the Tampa Bay Bucs.
My advice to everyone? Relax and let's see how this plays out. We are way too early on this story and there is nothing but rumors at this point.
We'll pass along information as we can CONFIRM it.
[UPDATE] - Adam Schefter via twitter chimes in
As NBC in Portland, Ore. reported, Chip Kelly and Bucs are involved in active contract discussions. Kelly interviewed with Bucs last week.

DT, that one caught me off guard but I thought we got this with Kelly and Bennett
Kelly, wow this is going to suck
This is some serious bad shit!
Not wanting to fall too far off the deep end but…
Are the rumors of sanction worth repeating? Why would he go, especially with so many strong recruits on their way? How bad is this going to get?

The key to stopping our offense have always been a defense with big, strong defensive linemen and linebackers that are fast enough to seal the edges. NFL defenses have both of those.

He doesn’t exactly run an NFL offense does he? Historically speaking the fast paced spread that Oregon runs hasn’t worked well in the NFL.
I wouldn’t mind at all if it did work because if there’s something I like about you guys, it’s your offense (except Dickson… dammit).
In other words, Go Bears!
He's run a different style of offense at every level he's coacched.
At New Hampshire he ran more of a pass-first look because he had a QB that could wing it. Here, we were running back deep so we ran the ball. I look at him as a leader of players, and think he can succeed.

Chip Kelly would pretty much be the first to tell you that he doesn't attach himself to any particular style of offense.
He does what he identifies to work. In the NFL he’ll probably run a much different offense and style because thinks work differently in college than the pros.
Things like that.
You are assuming that he can only one run kind of offense.
… that’s crazy. I hate him, but he is one innovative SOB. He’s going to scare the shit out of other NFL coaches.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
@chrislandon
For an outsider's view,
Kelly’s offense is based on superior athletes and speed. Works in college, but the NFL is built with superior athletes.
"Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can!" | Herb Brooks
Speed I agree. Superior atheletes…. dunno about that. It’s not like the Ducks recruited the best even in conference. Kelly got players that worked.
In other words, Go Bears!
Well my superior athletes comment was mainly referencing speed, so we're on the same page.
"Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can!" | Herb Brooks
I agree. Pro athletes are a different lot
would they take the fast and intense practices? Work as hard as Chip expects? There’s a lot more ego involved with the players.

Completely screwed us finding a replacement or closing out this years class. 2012 could have been special.
Chip was interested in NFL job
Kelly came to see Seahawks practice in the Duck’s bye week. Pete Carroll invited him to come up to Seattle.
That has nothing to do with having an NFL job.
Chip has observed a number of other teams, both pro and college, in an attempt to learn and grow as a coach.

So,
There seem to be more and more “sources” piling up with the same info. If Coach Kelly does depart, who do we look at?
Petersen seems to be most people’s first choice, but I honestly don’t see him leaving Boise State, he just seems attached at the hip to that program. Most of the up-and-coming coaches were just hired by schools within the last month or so as well.
I don’t know if we have anyone on our current coaching staff that would be as good of a head coach as Kelly.

Do we stick with the spread? Hiring Peterson would suggest “no.”

we don’t have the athletes (at least not proven) to play a pro style, and we’re fit perfectly for the spread.

Can you elaborate upon that? Personally, I just feel that if he has stayed at Boise State with the sustained level of success that he has achieved, why would he leave now? I’m sure he has gotten a million job offers since being the HC at BSU.

Their sweet new facilities upgrades would be obsolete in a couple years.
Their entire complex, for all their athletes, will be 142,000 sqft. Oregon’s football only complex will be 130,000, and completed next summer.
Cal is struggling to stay even in the same ballpark, and don’t have the resources to keep up, in facilities or coaching pay.

You think recruits are only looking around measuring the dimensions of a building? How about you measure a bigger area called the city of San Francisco, Berkeley and over all California weather? There isn’t too much you can do in a building but there is a whole lot you can do in the bay area.

How is it that “clear?” There were plenty of recruits who visited both Oregon and Cal this year and said Cal had the best facilities they had seen. I don’t care to have the so called best facilities, but for you to say that we are not on the same level is a thing of past.

If you read the first comment I was replying to, I was just saying that recruits also take into consideration the overall area and not just a fancy building. When I mentioned that some recruits said that Cal facilities were the best they have seen, its not because I believe this or agree with it. I don’t know that. I wanted to make the point that we at least compete with the best if some people think we have a nice place for them. We were in ruins up until now. last but not least not all our athletic sports will be housed in the new facilities. We have 29 sports programs and the new building will house 13.

They’re doing the best with the resources and space that they have, and believe me, that is MORE than enough to bring up up to snuff in the Pac-12.

While I think Tosh was a terrible person for how he handled his departure, I think that Cal fans overreacted significantly.
He was a D-line coach, that had some real questions regarding his ability to actually coach in-game. He was a great recruiter, but that means nothing if it doesn’t add up on the field, and that hadn’t really been happening.I just don’t think that this class would have pushed Cal “over the edge.”
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
meh, we overreacted a little. We were dating the hottest chick in school, she said she loved us, and then she dumped us for the dumb jock with the sports car. (errr… no offense?)

CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
I personally overreacted? While my response probably came off as a bit snippy, I really do think that no fanbase should pin all their hopes on a single recruiting class, and when you do that, it’s a really bad sign. Recruiting is a number games. While this would have given Cal a bump, no doubt, they’d have to make significant strides on the field, which those recruits alone wouldn’t do.
Anyway, I think Cal will move on and be fine, though the biggest problems you guys face is the resources at your disposal.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I see, I see.. I guess i didn’t see it as huge a thing as some people did because I don’t follow recruiting that much. I’d agree that no one recruiting class is going to make or break a program, but I guess some people did see it that way.

One team is about to discover if decades of toil and treasure has resulted in a program with enough inertia to remain a perennial top-10 program even losing its wildly popular head coach. The other is a middle-of-the-road Pac-12 team trying to get to that level, which just lost a d-line coach. Huge difference.

a) “perennial” is a strong word.
b) You’re missing the point. Middle Tennessee State losing their head coach is a bigger blow than LSU losing a line coach. Doesn’t matter what team you’re talking about. Losing a head coach is more painful than losing a position coach, no matter which teams you’re talking about. So no, the relative success of the teams are not germane to the discussion.

Zero downside for Chip
He fails in Tampa, he has his choice of any college job in the country. Just like Saban. Just like Spurrier.
Doesn’t make it suck less, I’m just not surprised.
I don't see it this way.
Right now, he’s got a top-5 NCAA job. If he fails in the NFL will he be able to walk back into a top-5 NCAA job? Or one with a legit shot of becoming one? I’m not so certain.
Nine NFL coaches were hired after the 2008 season. Only two still have jobs with their teams. I’m not certain this is worth the risk.
If it’s what Kelly wants to do in his heart, then I wish him the best, but if this is about money, I don’t know how rational it is.

Tampa has the fifth pick and LMJ is not even projected into the first round, no way he reaches that high.
Probably the third
And honestly, probably not at all. Tampa doesn’t absolutely need a RB nearly as much as they need…almost anything else.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score

I suspect you’re quite wrong.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
i know TB isn't that smart
but there’s no way they are that stupid. and i doubt kelly is going to jump to a full pro style after not coaching it for like 8 years
Why not?
He didn’t start with the spread offense. That wasn’t the first thing he did.
Put it another way: they don’t have the right people to play spread at Tampa. Trying to do it would be like trying to make tebow play pro-style. It’s an auto-failure and a waste of time. He could get those people in a few years, but he doesn’t have that much time. So he’s going to have to do things differently simply because of necessity.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
freeman has shown he can throw
tebow cannot. also tampa is years from being good, why not do something risky to gain attention? their shitty anyways, might as well rebuild to something that has shown it can work in the NFL at least a little, and bring in one of the best spread offense guys in the country
Why not do something risky to gain attention
What attention do you need? It’s not like he’s going to get more recruits if he has a flashy offense or something, or get more free agents. That’s stupid.
Kelly doesn’t have a couple years to do anything. If he doesn’t improve at least a decent amount next year he’s probably out in two. This isn’t like college where coaches are given 5 year timelines; you get 3 if you’re lucky and usually two at most.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
attention market in the nfl
sell tickets, sell merchandise, rebranding effort, people tune in, free agents, a market ineffeciency with players who played in the spread and need to run the same concepts in the NFL?
Free agents don't care
the notion that free agents would come to your team if you’re splashy or fun is ludicrous. They come to win, or they come for the money.
People will tune in if Tampa’s winning. They’ll not if they aren’t. Losing spectacularly is still losing in the NFL, and that’s ultimately what the fans and the owners care about.
Seriously, do you really believe that the fans are all atwitter that their team is losing 45-31 instead of 28-17? They’re still not going to show up.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
Free agents who fit the system
Are out of a job. They care because they could get a job. It’s not like Kelly would have to do anything to get them anyway; they aren’t working or won’t be working.
yes, a lot of NFL fans are talking about Tampa RIGHT NOW. Which means by your logic the best bet is to hire and fire coaches every month. That’s really stupid.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
Because he can get him in the second?
Tampa bay has what, a 5th overall pick? Why take LMJ then? Tampa has ridiculous holes all over the place; their QB is bad, their line isn’t great, their Dline isn’t great, their secondary is poor. You never pick someone high when you don’t need to, regardless of whether you think he’s good. That’s just stupid.

Though I doubt the GM would allow it; they think they’ve got a real winner in Freeman. Which…is in itself a tough thing to deal with for a new coach.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I think "disaster" is an overstatement
Belotti is a hell of a coach, the rest of the assistants would still be here, and Helfrich could run Chip’s offense.
I’m not necessarily favoring Belotti, but there are worse options, including promoting either Helfrich or Alliotti.
Yeah, disaster might be overstating it, but I think it would not go well at all.

If Helfrich is ready, announce he’s HC at the same time as Kelly’s departure. If not, Aliotti becomes caretaker for 2012. Its too late to find an out-of-program A-Lister.

I've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel to my life.
Not sure Helfrich can really coach though
He wasn’t really a playcaller, that was all Chip. So he was basically a glorified QB coach. Who knows if he’ll be a good head coach? The problem is that on our staff, we have lots of great, experienced assistants, but no head coaching prospects (besides Frost, but he’s too young and inexperienced). I like Helfrich, just not sure what we’ll get with him at the helm.

It is the end of an era
Not just any era. Chip Kelly brought us out from our wallflower chair and took us to the dance floor. Chip Kelly was our first blush with all that was exciting, thrilling, the things in life that make your heart pound and your blood race. Chip Kelly was a first love, and probably only love, the love of your life who gets away.
Chip Kelly didn’t have the best tools to work with, but his imagination and creativity and football intelligence saw us hew new paths out of the football forest, out into the plains where the sun shines and roses litter the ground. We did change the football world. We were a blur to the rest of the football world and it wasn’t just our buildings and our uniforms that got talked about, that got emulated across the football world. Big-shot talking heads like Jon Gruden praised us for being innovative, and we liked it. It was respect, it was arrival, and it was balm after the previous 95 years of suckage.
That brilliant trajectory into the BCS playground from his first season on was meteor-like and short, impossibly short, and I know I will not see its like again.

"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
I'm surprised by these comments
Stanford’s success is so much more tenuous than ours. Not only do they have the limitations of their academic requirements but they were horrible 5 years ago.
I feel we are much better set up structurally for long-term success than Stanford.
i think the head coach is the most important person to a college football team
more than a qb, rb, or anybody. we have no immediate fill in
Interesting comparison
both brought somewhat successful programs into the national spotlight. But Stanford had a much easier transition, and it’s not like the pro-style offense was hard to adapt to. I think the problem is that Kelly’s got quite the brain. Lots of our victories over the past three years were due to his scheme and mindset, especially as he wasn’t working with top athletes.

If Oregon DOES land an outside hC
What happens to Oregon’s famously long-tenured coaching staff? I have to imagine guys like Patterson and Pertersen would want to bring in their guys.
Also… this is going to cost so much money.
1. Well, we’re getting a boatload of buyout money from TB.
2. My guess is if anyone on the staff leaves it will be Greatwood. He’s been in the NFL and would like to go back. Young enough to do it.

If chip leaves, will just go get boise states head coach Chris Petterson, and make it to the BCS Championship again. I think he is just as good as Chip. There the two best college football coaches, plus petterson was an assistant coach to the ducks for 6 years before going to boise.

Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
As you said, they’ve never been worried before.
WHERE’S PROBABLY MONTY WHEN WE NEED HIM!
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
honestly, i saw we have a 35-40% chance of getting him
better than every other school, but its tough when the guy doesn’t care about money. they’re worried and i take that as a good sign
After someone mentioned Patterson, that’s who I want. Who cares about Cheaty Petey.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Patterson would be a major coup. I don't think we get him, but that is the one hire that I would actually be rather excited about.
Things like that.
Would be a big change for the team. What would happen with Aliotti?
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Patterson's a defense guy, but he would still need a DC. Alliotti obviously knows him too, since Alliotti and the defense visited TCU a few summers back.
Things like that.
I could see Chris Petersen keeping a lot of our spread concepts intact, but what would Gary Patterson do with our offense?
If Patterson came on board, I’d feel very good with Helfrich, Greatwood, and Frost running the offense.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I want Patterson more than Petersen for sure.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
You don't get to have as much success as Gary Patterson has had without being able to adapt and identify your strengths.
TCU’s run the spread most of his time at TCU too. Remember Andy Dalton? Bryan Bennett could be his new Andy Dalton.
With all this said, no matter how awesome getting Patterson would be, I don’t see it happening.
Things like that.
Probably more likely than Peterson though
And I’m more in favor of Gary than Pete.

Oregon doesn’t have a great history with a really hard-hitting defense; that’s not been the feel for quite some time. It’s possible, but doubtful. I also suspect the big-12 money would be pretty hard for Patterson to leave.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score

I’m told Oregon offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich is “highly thought of” by UO officials and would be strongly considered for HC job.
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
I have mixed feelings, but the fact that the Athletic Department is looking at him as a first choice, rather than a last resort, is encouraging.
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
One thing being overlooked: this is a big test for the athletic department. Mullens wasn’t involved with the Altman coaching search, and this is a HUGE decision for him. We’ll learn a lot about where the entire department is going with this search.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
It’s not necessarily a bad one. We just don’t know a lot about him right now. He could end up being a stellar hire, and maybe not.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
When Chip Kelly stepped in we knew he was awesome and had been the orchestrator of the whole offense for two years.
Helfrich comes from a similar situation in being the offensive coordinator, but he was decidedly not the offensive mind in the past three years. That was Chip Kelly’s offense. That’s the difference.
Things like that.
As I said before
I’m down with Helfy.
I don’t want to see our longtime coaches get the shaft.
ATQ's #1 fan of WINNING THE ROSE BOWL
I want to win. If our longtime coaches get the shaft as part of that, it’s part of doing business. But I’d like to believe that we have the coaches in place where that won’t have to happen.

I don’t care about winning to the detriment of those that have had such a huge part in our program’s success.

That wasn’t something I’d thought of. Though I’d hope that any coach coming in would keep our coaches around. Since they’re freaking awesome.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
They are awesome
But RichRod just cleaned house in Arizona (yes, I know those coaches were’t up to the caliber of ours), and Mike Leach is in the middle of the same task. That is the norm.
ATQ's #1 fan of WINNING THE ROSE BOWL
MB's house was cleaned out for him.
Greatwood and Allioti went with Brooks to St Louis.
CK didn’t have to clean house.
No reason to think an internal hire would “clean house”, unless there’s a lot more dissension in the coaching ranks at Oregon than I think there is. Some, maybe Campbell, might decide it’s time to retire, but I can’t see Helfrich being promoted and shitcanning people.
I've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel to my life.
This is the point I was making
Helfrich wouldn’t likely clean house.
An outsider would.

If he's going to leave for another college job, this is the one he'll leave for.
If he stays, he’s there for the long haul. He coached here for 5 years (leading eventually to the Boise gig), he’ll get pritnear any paycheck he wants, he’ll have a roster absolutely loaded with the kind of players he can’t get at Boise, etc.

Sigh
This is very disappointing, but I guess it’s somewhat inevitable. I really wanted a few more years.
It’s very bad timing for the program and for recruiting, and seems shortsighted given that the Bucs are not a particularly well-run team on any level and do not have any particularly good players. It’s not even a great fanbase, and it’s in possibly the most competitive division in the NFL right now.
I guess…if Kelly really wants to go somewhere where he gets more money and deals with less shit that badly, so be it. It’s a shame.
As a Duck fan I’ve never been in this situation before; we’ve always had a very clear understanding of who our coach was going to be and what was going to happen. Rich Brooks leaving was about the closest that this comes, but that was handled a lot more smoothly and Bellotti was clearly the next thing. This is very weird.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
Might be a good reason Tampa is attractive to Chip.
Ability to change the roster, not especially high expectations.
Ducks GOOOOD. Fuskies BAAAAAD.
by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Jan 22, 2012 8:11 PM PST up reply actions
Tampa has a lot of talent. Their roster is not that bad, but the team was very undisciplined and had some holes to fill this year. They have a big QB who is also mobile, and their D-line has a lot of potential. They also have the #5 pick, which allows for quite a bit of flexibility in shifting the team to fit the new scheme.
they have freeman
who is mobile. blount, some good guys in the secondary, james rodgers, another really good wr who’s name is escaping me.
Mike Williams
And he disappeared this year.
As did Freeman, to be honest. Freeman looked horrible this year, and this year was super friendly to QBs.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
They had a bad year, but there are plenty of young guys on that roster who have a ton of potential if they have the right coach and avoid major injury. They’re also mostly young. My point is that Chip might be thinking that if he coaches them up right and drafts / trades wisely, that team could improve greatly next year.
Sure
That’s the best way to sell it.
I just think it happens to be wrong; that Tampa got lucky last year, regressed to the mean this year and is talent-poor. especially at the skill positions and OLine.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score

Maybe
At the same time, most college coaches only get one shot in the NFL; if it ends in failure they go back. It’s rare to see someone like Carroll happen.
And unless he’s getting a lot of control in the personnel – someting that first-time college coaches almost never get – the roster change really isn’t in his control there (or anywhere in the NFL).

This is kind of the only thing that makes sense from a logistic standpoint — only the cat got let out of the bag somehow. Then again, it seems incredibly douchey to recruit an entire class and then say “SO LONG, SUCKERS!” as soon as NLI day is over. I don’t think Chip is THAT douchey.

Next question is who does Chip Kelly take with him to Tampa Bay. Rumors already going around that OL coach Steve Greatwood follows.

That's a horrible idea
And a horrible way to treat Bellotti.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score

I don't think it's about the money
Isn’t it about the challenge? As much as I love Oregon, the NFL is….well, the NFL.
It's absolutely about the money
Chip Kelly would make easily twice what he’s making now before incentives in the NFL. And afterwards he’d be set to go almost anywhere he wants.
It may not be JUST about the money, but let’s not kid ourselves – it’s certainly about money.

Not exactly
Just not a coach with a real killer instinct. He’s smart as hell, he’s nice, but when push comes to shove he doesn’t seem to want to really drive that final nail in. It’s telling that Gruden came in with Dungy’s system and Dungy’s players and won a superbowl. Or hell, Jim Caldwell did…nothing and got the Colts to the superbowl.

Our defense would be dominant.
I’d welcome a cover 2, with the athletes we have been attracting. He would also entire NFL level defensive talent like one Arik Armstead.
"We gotta get this $#!^ together guys!" - Phil
Dominant like Indy's D?
cause I didn’t remember that being super dominant.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
You don't remember his defensive lines in Indy?
Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis? They were great when Bob Sanders was healthy. How about in Tampa Bay with Warren Sapp, Simeon Rice & Derrick Brooks?
"We gotta get this $#!^ together guys!" - Phil
Tampa was fine
Indy was crap. Consistently at the bottom of any ranking you care to look at for rushing and passing defenses. Freeney and Mathis were good when rushing the passer, but otherwise were horrible. And Sanders was at best good for that defense.
At this point I’d trust Aliotti over Dungy.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
At this point, with this staff
What would he need to do? Besides make our recruiting classes the best ever. Hell if Uw can hire 18 coaches who the only thing they’re good at is recruiting, Oregon can have one

Ever since he has retired,
He has sort of been interested in reaching out to people (with his books etc…), that does seem like a personality suited to recruiting, no?
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
think about it
keep all the coaching staff in place. Send Dungy in Phil’s jet to all the recruits… I mean all the recruits and make this the best recruiting class ever.

Like to see a graph of the ups and downs of this thread with news coming in. Group therapy may be helpful.
I have an idea:
Hire Tedford. Let him spend the next couple years bringing in good recruits but getting mediocre results on the field. Then, when Chip washes out of the NFL, welcome him home with open arms.
