Quack Fix: Chip Kelly turns down NFL and stays at Oregon, needs to hit the recruiting trail

So, did everyone learn their lesson? It's never over until the press conference. As I'm sure we're all aware, reports started breaking that Chip Kelly was in negotiations with the Tampa Bay Bucs to become their head coach. In a couple hours, negotiations had become "the ink is all but dry." This reminds me quite a bit of when Bellotti almost went to Ohio State. Except, now we have twitter, so every rumor gets magnified 100x and taken as gospel truth.
Even with the recent news that Chip is staying, this isn't over until we get more official word, and Kelly signs a contract extension and gets another pay raise.
- I'm a bit fuzzy on the timeline, but I believe that Adam Jude was the first to break the "Chip is staying" story, based on sources inside the department. Here's his published story on Kelly's negotiations with Tampa Bay.
- George Schroeder's column today is on what Oregon will do when Chip leaves, which he almost definitely will at some point in the future. And he says that with the resources and (recent) tradition that Oregon has, Oregon isn't going anywhere.
- Here's an interesting quote from Tampa's general manager. On Kelly, "It's become clear his heart just wasn't in it. He is happy in college. These things can happen with college coaches.''
- Now that Chip Kelly is staying, Matt Prehm writes that he must be acting quickly on the trail. There is nine days until national signing day, and he'll need to calm any recruits that got a bit worried. I don't think that'll be very tough. He just turned down the NFL.
- In some non-Chip Kelly news, the guys at FishDuck have been cranking out some great stuff. Of note, they have a Q&A with former Oregon RB Dino Philyaw, and former Oregon WR Patrick Johnson.
- Lastly, lost in the Chip Kelly news, Oregon's basketball team is tied with Cal for first place in the conference. The Ducks get a bit of rest before they host OSU next Sunday. OSU had been struggling, but they swept the LA schools last week, and will provide the Ducks with another test.
It's been a crazy 12 hours, so leave any more thoughts, quack, or anything else in the comments. GO DUCKS!

Obviously happy that Chip is coming back, one thing that I thought of though before I read that he was coming back that I don’t think anybody has mentioned(sorry if someone has) is the schedule. Chip hates that big time college teams have backed out against us & in the NFL he wouldn’t have had to worry about that. That said though Tampa was a weird fit in my opinion because he always says that he loves the fans here & if he would of went there he wouldn’t be seeing sellouts at Raymond James like he does at Autzen

Testing the waters
Chip has shot up the ranks of college football coaches quickly and it was only a matter of time before he would start testing the waters of NFL coaching. I’m relieved that Chip is staying with the Ducks and will continue the success that he has helped build. Just remember that the Ducks were here before Chip and the Ducks will be here after Chip. Go Ducks!

so true, so true...
i thought we had a plan in place if he left, so i wasn’t worried.
but i would sure love to see major love thrown at Petterson from now until Chip does leave. Im pretty sure he is actually still getting a paycheck from a booster at the least (like Few) but not sure on that. it not, do it, if it’s being done, double it. =)

Wow, that was a hell of a last 12 hours, very happy it seems to have ended up with Chip still at UO
I feel bad for the current players, it can’t feel good to think your coach – to many a father figure – is going to disappear overnight. As happy as I am that Chip turned them down I think that it will be somewhat harmful to team morale and recruiting to know that your stellar coach was almost gone.
I guess we’ll learn more about how close it actually was to going down. Maybe “the ink is dry” statements were mere twitter flatus, but I would have rather that Chip just shot down teams he isn’t interested in coaching right off the bat, not do secret interviews and midnight negotiations with until the 11th hour then reverse course.
by OregonNYC on Jan 23, 2012 7:40 AM PST reply actions 3 recs
We don’t have any idea if he was almost gone or not. You know what we know? Chip Kelly was talking with the Bucs, and were negotiating a possible contract. That’s it. We have no idea how close Chip was to actually taking the job. Only Chip knows that, and he can clear that up with his team, and recruits.

Well, that is what I mean by mere twitter flatus for "ink is dry" statements
but even if that was an exaggeration we know that at least he interviewed, indicated his interest and began negotiations. It would make me pretty uncomfortable as a young player to know that the guy I look up to as a leader was that close to leaving.
CFB is a business for coaches, Chip has a total right to take any job he wants and more power to him to reach his dream job. Tthat doesn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt his players if he left, or even to know that he was considering leaving. College coaches are mentors and authority figures, it hurts when people in those roles leave, or consider leaving.

It’s only a few fans on both sides that mess things up. Both fanbases are very alike, honestly; both have immature fans that troll and scream at each other, both have reasonable fans that listen and can put aside their fandom for rationality some times.
Just seems like folks don’t jump down the throat of people because they’re a Husky around here; they do it based on what they say.

So recently I've been noticing
my husband making eyes at this other woman. And she is drop dead gorgeous, rich, famous; the total nightmare package. So last night he comes home and tells me that he’s leaving the family for this high-end bimbo. I totally freak, beg, cry – I even threated to jump off the roof at one point (no, I do not have any dignity whatsoever). Eventually I start hearing from his friends that the ink is dry on a new condo lease he’s signed with the Ho. He pulled out his suitcases and started packing. I went to bed devastated.
And THEN, this morning I wake up and he tells me his heart wasn’t in it and he’s staying! I was overjoyed – I almost sobbed in relief. But to tell you the truth, I’m not really sure how I feel about the bastard after putting me through that. He’s got some work to do to make it up to me, and I think a trip to Florida next winter is just the ticket.

Chip at least interviewed, said he was interested, got an offer and began negotiations with Trampy Tampa.
Even if “the ink is dry” was BS the analogy stands in my book. It is the reality of a top program and hotshot coach to deal with this every year, but it still kinda hurts to know that your coach seriously considering jumping into bed with another team.

He said that “Stranger things have happened.”
The next tweet after that was the first one by Jude saying he’d flipped.

I picked up my phone and checked twitter before I even hit the shower this morning, and I about dropped the phone.
When I went to bed at 10:30, the last work was “sources say the ink on the contract is dry”. So I was REALLY shocked. Euphoric, but shocked!

I posted a half-drunk, totally angry league manager’s comment in my fantasy hockey league. Then I fell asleep on the couch. I didn’t even look at the computer this morning before leaving for work. I came to ATQ as soon as I turned my computer on, mostly to survey the carnage and see how quickly I wanted to dive in and immerse myself in pain. And then I saw the headline.

Kept waking up, hoping it wasn’t real that Chip was going to leave. Finally got up at 7:30, jumped on Facebook, and the first post I see is from Supwitchugirl: “Feel bad for everyone asleep. Chip’s heart must be as big as his plums. He’s staying.” I pretty much fell out of the bed. Gosh, I love being an Oregon fan, even if the off-season brings many of us to the brink of suicide.

I was in too much shock to post last night.
After reading about so called “cancelled Sunday night recruiting visits,” my first thought was why would anyone schedule a recruiting visit on the same day as the NFL playoffs? Even if the 49ers weren’t the Sacramento recruit’s hometown team, I’d imagine he and his family would still be distracted.

Would it shock anyone if the Ducks decided to do all this to bring the attention back to them after the week or two of amazing Huskies news?
I know it’s really super far fetched, but with all the love the Huskies have been getting for getting Tosh and Keisau and Wilcox and Sirmon, seems like it’s a nice way to put the Ducks back on the frontpage.

EUGENE, Ore. –- University of Oregon football coach Chip Kelly has announced his intentions to remain as the Ducks’ head coach.
"I am flattered by the interest of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ organization. I enjoyed meeting with the Glazer family and General Manager Mark Dominik but after numerous discussions, I concluded that I have some unfinished business to complete at the University of Oregon."
In three seasons, Kelly has accumulated a 34-6 record and guided Oregon to a trio of conference championships and BCS bowl berths, including a 45-38 win in this year’s Rose Bowl.
"The Tampa Bay Buccaneers asked for permission to engage in conversation with Coach Kelly, which was granted," Oregon Athletics Director Rob Mullens said. "The University of Oregon is one of the nation’s preeminent college football programs and, as such, it comes as no surprise the NFL is interested in our personnel. We are pleased with Coach Kelly’s decision to remain as our head coach. Coach Kelly has provided great leadership and remains committed to building on our position among the elite college football programs in the country."

What Trojan and husky fans see:
EUGENE, Ore. –- University of Oregon football coach Chip Kelly has stupidly announced his intentions to remain as the Ducks’ head coach to accept the impending NCAA hammer.
“I am flattered surprised by the interest of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ organization. I enjoyed meeting with the Glazer family and General Manager Mark Dominik and doing blow with Legarrette Blount off of some Cuban hookers but after numerous discussions, I concluded that I have some unfinished business to complete the destruction of the football program at the University of Oregon.”
In three seasons, Kelly has accumulated cheated his way a 34-6 record and guided Oregon to a trio of conference championships and BCS bowl berths, including a 45-38 win in this year’s Rose Bowl.
“The Tampa Bay Buccaneers asked for permission to engage in conversation with Coach Kelly, which was granted,” Oregon Athletics Director Mob Boss Rob Mullens said. “The University of Oregon is one of the nation’s preeminent sleaziest college football programs and, as such, it comes as no surprise the NFL is interested in our personnel. We are pleased torked with Coach Kelly’s decision to remain as our head coach. Coach Kelly has provided greata double-standard of leadership and remains committed to building running on our position among the elite college footballour programs in the country into the ground.”

I’m not a mod, and I have no way to enforce this at all, but I do think AtQ would be a better place without those things.
NB: Calling out SportsbyBrooks is always, and will always be, appropriate.

It wasn't an unsolicited offer he refused immediately , it was an interview, offer, negotiation, reportedly almost closed deal with last minute turn around
I love that Chip decided to stay and he has every right to consider his options, but this is far from a positive thing for recruiting.
A few days ago what chance would you give that Chip would leave UO in the next 4 years? Have they gone up in the last 24 hours? I think realistically the incoming class has much less than a 50% chance of having the same coach when they graduate as they do when they commit, and this has to weigh on parents and kids.

The turn around is the most important part.
If he wanted to be in the NFL, he’d be there today. He chose Oregon over the NFL. No, it doesn’t guarantee that he’ll be here for another four or five years, but that guarantee would not exist under any circumstances. UO’s lack of turnover in the past three years is unprecedented at any school (except, I think, for Army). If a recruit is only considering schools that won’t have any turnover in the next four years, they’re going to be out of luck. I understand that some recruits may view it your way, but not all of them. I expect this episode will have a minimal overall impact on recruiting.

well, the press is saying “his heart is still with college football” that, in and of itself, turns any southerner into putty. THEN, it says his heart is with OREGON,…right there in the middle of the state of florida….
i really think this has HUGE positive implications.

My favorite quote from the dog pound...
They’re all children, except the children. Axemen23 and QRSouther (I’ll leave Benzduck out of this since I kinda like him) present a more reasoned and adult argument than most of the other posters who aren’t regulars on this site. I used to love heading over there for a spirited debate, and most times it would remain just that. Lately it seems like they’ve devolved into a mess of crappy memes and CGB ripoffs. I shouldn’t lump them all together, because it’s really just Matt Daddy and a couple of the guys who have it out for all Huskies, but they ruin the blog for people who’d even just like to lurk.
Wow. They REALLY don’t like you, Matt. I believe that was what B Money said.

The vast majority of it was not a troll. I would hope PAC-12 fans still distinguish between
good-humored pranking and malicious or genuine trolling. I didn’t see most of the conversation that happened, so if it degenerated into that later, that’s unfortunate. I tend to be on the somewhat rigid side of “why the hell would you post over there at all, or even read them” and don’t even read TDP myself.. I read it for the first time over that prank day and the next. I’ve discovered that a few ATQers regularly post over there, even post-prank. Some are extremely er, husky-minded, so to speak, or polite and deferential. If anyone does troll, however, that’s sad. To the trolls, don’t do that, it’s stupid. I hate it when Duck fans troll. Even worse if it’s ATQers. When it’s not seen in humor, it’s pointless.

There were many, many years when the teams would play 3 or even 4 times.
Back in the day, when the Far West Classic was in its heyday, an Oregon-OSU meetup on the last day was a frequent occurance. And a third Civil War game was played in Portland every year until the mid-70s when Harter finally got it removed from the schedule (Old Ducker can correct me if I’m wrong on this, I’m not a hoops historian).
So, not too surprised the teams have averaged 3 meetings a year sine the game was invented.

Did some digging around in my files
We’ve “only” played the bavers since the 1902-3 season.
Just a couple of times a year, then two years when the teams didn’t meet at all (coincides with the years there was no football CW either because of misbehavior by the OAC student body, that’s my story and i’m sticking to it). The teams met four times at the end of the 1913 season, then six times in 1914, and from there more or less four games a season for decades.
Up until about 1972 the hoops CW was played four times a year — you know how when it rolls around this year, we play one game either in Eugene or Corvallis? Back then we played twice, Friday and Saturday, at each school. If the teams met in the FWC, that would make five games a year (’59, ’61, ’71).
Then for ten years we played three CWs a year, one in Portland. Nobody much liked this game, and it ended after 1982, which would make this the only worthwhile loss accomplished under Jim Haney.
Pretty easy to get to 336 that way.

FOR THE RECORD
As one might expect, the news that Chip Kelly might be leaving Oregon was received with a great deal of despair, PANIC!, depression, anger, confusion.
Given the seismic nature of the news and the critical place that Kelly holds in Oregon Football’s road to success, it was natural. We’re an emotional and an emotionally invested bunch.
What might not have come across, and I’m expressing it here explcitly as we didn’t go a good job of this when DT announced he was leaving, and I don’t want it lost in the noise and open to misinterpretation in ANY WAY, is our overwhelming gratitude and support of Chip Kelly. Yes, it’s going to kill us when he leaves, and leave he will at some point, perhaps. However, there isn’t a single Oregon Duck fan who begrudges him such an opportunity, should he want it. There isn’t a single Oregon Duck fan who will wish him anything but the greatest of success at whatever he chooses to do, in his post-Oregon days. Oregon wishes him the very best, always, no matter what happens.
NO MATTER WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.
Because to me, he’s done enough. He’s done enough to warrant our loyal support for the rest of his days here.

I don't mean I'll forgive him if he does something illegal, corrupt, or seriously awful like JoePa.
I hold all of them, and particularly leaders, to high standards, ethically. So no, I don’t mean deferring normal human judgement, or even scrutiny. I meant win/loss and success on the field. I meant giving him the benefit of the doubt and trusting him with respect to decisions about Oregon football. That’s why he gets no grief from me for his play calling, whom he recruits or his strategy.
I am Chip Kelly’s most loyal fan. I can prove it by pointing at my sig. See all your sigs? See my sig? QED. However, if he had done what JoePa had done, I’d have been calling for his resignation. I completely agree that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and that every indvidual should have integrity and think for themselves.

Per Peter King
in his always great weekend NFL wrap,
8. After it seemed like he’d be leaving Oregon for the NFL, Chip Kelly had a change of heart about taking the Buccaneers’ head coaching job. I’m told part of the reason he turned it down is that the news of Kelly’s possible departure leaked, killing his recruiting efforts.
It’s so hard to leave the right way these days. With twitter and all the instant social media, you basically have no control over how you leave. The word’s out before you can tell your team, before you can get recruits up to speed, and before the plan’s together for the team you’re leaving so that they can reassure players/coaches/recruits. And then people think you’re a dick because all these stakeholders “had to hear it from twitter” or some such thing. You basically can’t ensure that you’ve taken the classy steps because the cat’s already out of the bag, and your reputation and relationships suffer. It certainly can’t make it any easier to make these kinds of career moves.

Because honestly, Peter King is about as reliable as a broken clock. He was the one who made up the rumor that the Bears were interested in Favre and then asked ‘should they be interested in Favre? I DON’T THINK SO’.
I’m willing to believe that Kelly did decide to stay because this would fuck up recruiting efforts (or part of it), but I doubt it’s the only reason and I disbelieve anything coming from PK’s mouth on principle.

I don’t think affecting the recruiting of a few individuals this year is as big as impacting the recruiting overall because you left. I mean, if you’re gone, that’s one hell of a devastating impact to the program, so I don’t think the when and how played a big role here.
I’m sure he weighed all of the factors and decided it wasn’t for him at this point in time. Whatever his reasons, I believe he did do what was right throughout, and none of his actions can be in anyway considered less than classy. I would expect that from Chip, at least in how he’s been a stand-up guy to his assistants and coaches and players.

I’m told part of the reason he turned it down is that the news of Kelly’s possible departure leaked, killing his recruiting efforts.
Could also be that the news had leaked earlier in the week and recruits were starting to sour on us as a result — might explain Castro flipping. But it still makes no sense. “Aww, darn, all of a sudden I can’t recruit for a team I’m not going to be at next year because other coaches are telling recruits I’m not going to be there, guess I better stay and salvage the class…” Makes no sense.

The story goes that he came back an hour later and declined.
So it’s either he decided TB wasn’t the right job, or he decided the timing hurts the program he built and/or the people he worked with (and supported him as an upstart who went from nobody to OC to HC in 2 years), or a mix of both. But he stayed. I guess it’s easiest to let the reporters sort it all out. I’m sure we’ll see more in the “papers” in the coming weeks.

Anyone else think this refers more to creating a succession plan where his imprint will echo for eternity more then winning a natty?
That was my take- he didn’t like hearing that no guarantees for assistants would be made and hire was likely to be a big name from outside the program who would bring in his own guys?

Host of things.
For one thing, leaving is always messy. He can’t guarantee what happens to those left behind, and generally can’t take everyone with him. I would imagine when he took that hour to think about it, the fact that we’re just over a week away from LOI day popped into his head and made him think about what leaving would mean to the program for that reason and others. Plus TB, when he really thought about it, may have turned out to be the offer he had RIGHT NOW, as opposed to being the offer and situation he really wants. Add to that the fact that the Ducks have momentum and are loaded with talent and I guess that’s it.

Yep. I'm sure Chip considered every possible factor and it all weighed in his decision
- NFL opportunities will come again, there is usually a lot of turnover given the results-oriented employment in the NFL
- He could wait for a better fit, a better team, a better time
- He could get more experience as a head coach under his belt (he is, after all, only a 3rd year HC)
- He is driven to achieve, and he’s not yet at the top-most strata of CF, not without a National Championship
- He has a fantastic squad coming in, and a legitimate shot to be a contender this year
- He loves coaching and developing players, and enjoys far wider influence over college students than professionals
- He is imaginative and creative. College football allows you far greater opportunity to do innovative and outrageous things, scheme-wise, play-wise. The NFL is more constrained that way, given the parity and talent. Grantland did a great article on this, but I’m too lazy to go hunt it up right now
The only thing I’m confident didn’t play into his decision to go (prior to changing his mind) was any possibility of NCAA penalties (if you go to other blogs, it’s humorous in their knee-jerk reactions and widespread belief that the only reason he would leave Oregon is impending NCAA imposed destruction of the program).
Chip will go to the NFL at some point, I think it’s likely. Whether that’s 365 days from now or many years from now, who knows. Why wouldn’t you want to compete at the highest level of your sport, and join the very exclusive fraternity of NFL head coaches? Two of his PAC-10 peers did it, and seem to be finding success. I think he’s going to want to try, at some point. And more power to him.

Following the logic of so many opposing fans (not just looking at you, dawgs), since Chip’s decision to leave was obviously inspired by a desire to get out before sanctions… then the fact that he’s staying means there won’t be substantial sanctions. Woohoo!

But then he's never going to be able to leave
Unless he can take everybody with him (almost never), the remaining staff are at the mercy of whoever gets hired and brings in whom they want. You can’t really impose a condition that a new, incoming head coach can’t hire/fire people on his staff. It’s impractical and unfair. Quite a few headcoaches have been done in by retaining existing staff and having it go downhill as they didn’t have their loyalty.

I just wrote above that if this is such a big factor, we'll likely start hearing talk about a "designated successor."
One wonders if he was thinking about how Mike suddenly “decided to retire” about 5 years earlier than his unofficial timeline.

If taking care of the incumbent staff weighed so heavily,
we shouldn’t be surprised if we start hearing about a “designated successor” or “HC-in-waiting.”

HC in waiting
aren’t allowed by the NCAA any longer, but he could be doing some major coaching up behind the scenes to secure a succession plan.

I knew it wasn't allowed in the NFL
because it violated the Rooney Rule. I didn’t know about at the NCAA level though.

They can't stop it from being 'unofficial' as you say
but they can’t be announced, official HC-in-waiting. Chip and Muschamp at Texas were the last two. It has to do with recruiting – HCs are allowed only so many visits to a recuit, but assistant coaches are allowed more. It was seen as an unfair advantage to have an assitant coach basically acting as the HC on recruiting visits.

And we also have a Rooney Rule in Oregon now.
Beyond the NCAA, it might violate state law to designate a coach in waiting and not interview at least one minority candidate when the transition was happening, unless the designee was a minority hire themselves.

its not technically illegal
but they basically made it not allowed by limiting recruiting visits to those of a head coach instead of an assistant.

I...am not sure what that means. Can you clarify?
Meaning they have limited visits by assistants and place the onus more on the HC?

I think that's a possibility too
When he reversed course, In my mind I wondered if he thought “Okay, I’m going to coach up Helfy bigtime over the next two years so there’s not doubt he’s ready for the job, the coaching staff will stay intact, and then I’ll go.” Frankly, that would be great in my opionion.

Either way.
If he stayed because he decided TB wasn’t the right job for him, it’s politically astute to go the “unfinished business at Oregon” route rather than the “I didn’t like what I saw in TB” route.

What we've learned about Chip
He does want to go to the NFL, we suspected it before but now we know there’s no doubt. However, he doesn’t see it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whoever is advising him must think this is not his only offer and that he will be offered another NFL head coaching position in the future. That’s pretty incredible. A lot of guys build their careers towards this and would take any job with any conditions just to have the opportunity. For a lot of coaches, if they turn down the big offer it will never come again.
I think Chip is brilliant and I’m glad we have him, I hope he stays long enough to make another attempt to bring home the crystal football. It’s also pretty damn awesome that our program has a coach who could be in the NFL today if he wanted to. Sure, other schools might try to poach recruits based on this and we will always be wondering when he will leave us, but until then we are going to compete year in and year out, bring in talented players, and have one of the smartest and most sought after coaches in the country. I can live with that. :)

I can’t help but think that if Chip was really wanting to get away from the gladhanding/babysitting/dealing with parents aspect of being a College head coach and focus on breaking down film and drawing up strategy, becoming an NFL head coach right away isn’t the best move.
As a coordinator he can do the analysis, coach guys up, test out schemes with insulation from, ownership/management/agents/etc. Yeah, it will be a step down in pay, but I think it would more closely meet the challenge he’s hoping to achieve.
I totally think you’re right, the NFL does intrigue him and he won’t be here forever. I just want to see him have the best shot at success when he does go.
