Funny considering he was given an 18month show cause essentially banning him from college football for a big nothing. Maybe there was more found and the NCAA buried it like they bury everything.

3 years probation and scholarship reduction, on top of his 18 month banning. But he didn’t do anything wrong though.

Oregon Ducks interview BYU’s Kalani Sitake, Cal’s Justin Wilcox, ask permission to interview UCLA’s Chip Kelly, per source

Oregon has interviewed Sitake and Wilcox, has requested permission to interview Kelly and is speaking to at least two other candidates for its football head coaching position.

Gotta hand it to the Ducks. They're doing this the right way. I can listen to the John Canzano show since I'm in Oregon right now and it's mind boggling how much is going on during this search. He's pretty well wired in to everything and his reporting has been mostly reliable (no BS even if he does miss something occasionally). The advantage Oklahoma had during our coaching search was we knew who we wanted from the get-go and the rest of the interviewing process was mostly ritualistic. But Oregon has a harder mission and they're serious about finding a needle in a haystack.
 
UCLA apparently giving permission to Oregon to talk to Chip is interesting.

I think that Chip has UCLA on the right track and letting Chip go would be a mistake for them. They are a basketball school with a basketball team that has a legit NC chance. That's where most of the focus is. I'm not sure they can get someone that can even maintain what Chip has going, let alone, improve it. Yet, some have been calling for his head, even after they destroyed USC.

I also doubt that Chip can repeat his earlier success. His offense basically caught all of cfb off guard. Now, everyone is running some aspect of his Oregon offense. He also isn't known as a great recruiter. Wilcox or Sitake may be better choices at this point.

Some folks aren't great in interviews. But yeah, if he appeared hesitant to leave, might be best to just move on from him. If he drags his feet trying to make up his mind...it could cost you other options if he ultimately decided to stay at BYU.

He was paying this DFW trainer, Willie Lyles who is basically a street agent that would get kids in TX

Not sure if they really improved or that the conference is down.. they also played LSU who struggled this season too. You would think UCLA would let him ride out his last year, but they were ready to part ways with him.

Chip was making some serious coin in there and there's still no excitement there (not that it usually has any). UCLA is in a weird position, like they care about sports, but they don't want the image that comes with it.

I’m not plugged into the UCLA program or culture at all, so can’t comment too much. However, I remember Neuheisel on his segment on a local sports talk radio show commenting on Chip at UCLA early on in his tenure there saying that the base was pretty unhappy with him from the start. They expected the Oregon Chip Kelly with an exciting offense and whatever other weirdness comes with him, and he just never did it. So I’m guessing there’s probably a general feeling that they just never got what they bargained for with him.

I’m sure there’s still plenty of potential left with the guy. And he’ll be able to ride his oregon days pretty much forever and always find a job (if oregon doesn’t land him again). But he’s probably never recapturing what he did at oregon originally. Seems to be a pretty average coach who was in the right place at the right time with an offensive scheme no one was ready for, but it’s not 2010 anymore.

Probably their BFDs don't care that much anymore about football and concentrate more on their BB program, which generally does much better.

They've had some pretty bad ADs recently, though. Dan Guerrero seemed to be the universally hated one amongst the FB fanbase when he was there (before the present AD). And being a Cali state university, their "purse strings" are severely controlled.

So... I doubt Chip will be there much longer, anyway. Could very well be the Ducks. :noidea:

agreed, who knows if this past season is evidence that it's on an upswing or if it's just an anomaly?

I'm sure Chip wants an extension, if he even wants to really continue there, before his last year starts in the fall

Some of it may be the conference being down, but they were a better football team than they have been.

I don't know how true it is, but I just heard that UCLA asked Chip to take a pay cut. That may be our answer right there.
