Chip Kelly on the brink of Termination

[sub legacy]

49ers are expected to fire him after one season.

What do you think are the chances that he not only returns to college, but as a coordinator? (wink, wink — nudge, nudge)

Kelly will have his pick of top P5 jobs. Regardless if they have a coach or not.

Oregon would be at the top of the list.

 

[coachcap]

The Oregon job is his for the taking. The Ducks want to return to their glory days as they had under his tutelage. STILL: those of us who have followed his career, remember him from his days as OC at New Hampshire when the Wildcats offense was among the cream of FCS. He Does have Northeast roots.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

He'll make what his 49ers predecessor is currently making as HC at some P-5 school (likely Oregon). I doubt he would take a lesser position for about 14% of the pay.

Everyone does realize that Oregon hired Taggart?

Thanks for the reminder. That's true. Completely forgot that somehow.

Dream Coach. New England guy. We have no shot. Maybe if we're P5, we'd have a shot. Worst fear, he takes a year off and winds up at BC.

 

[junglehusky]

Guessing he'll be an assistant on an NFL staff somewhere.

I think he's coming back to college. Schools will be tripping over themselves to sign him.

I just cannot understand threads like this. Chip Kelly, who will have P5 HC offers thrown at him, might consider coming here as OC? Really?

@ktuck911 What say you?

It's no different than people buying a powerball ticket and talking about what they'll buy when they win. No one (reasonable) thinks he is coming here, but what if...

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Chip Kelly should take a year off and see what becomes available for 2018.

Niners will be on their 4th HC in 4 years. Almost impossible.

After 4 HCs in 4 yrs, it seems that the problem may be with the one doing the hiring instead.

First and foremost he needs to take some time off. He absolutely has to be burned out coaching the circus that was The 49ers this season. He then should look to get back to the college game. Much like Steve Spurrier with The Skins and Petrino with The Falcons, he tried his system and it didn't work out.

The reality is that he will have his pick of a number of choice HC Jobs once he puts out the signal that he is serious about coming back. He won't be an OC at Uconn or anywhere for that matter. I suspect he will end up somewhere that has a ton of resources, and better access to talent than he had at Oregon. I could easily see him pop up somewhere like Texas A & M, UCLA, or UF.

Yeah Chip Kelly is going to go from NFL head coach to accept being Randy Edsall's assistant at UConn LMAO the idiotic crap people come up with here

Whoops, had a Senior Moment. Must have been due to the New Year's Eve libations.

Yep they're addressing that as well.

Not sure what 49ers are doing. That roster is horrendous, yet you give Kelly one year? Weird. I really believe he could be successful as an NFL coach, actually he has been. Would love to see what he could do with LA Rams.

As for college, if he wants to come back, elite teams will be tripping over themselves to hire him. I'm sure Oregon is devastated the 49ers didn't fire him just a couple months earlier.

I think he takes year off then gets to pick college destination.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

I think he takes year off then gets to pick college destination.

Or he gets the Michigan job next week when Harbaugh leaves for the Denver Broncos.

Although, he better brush up on his Latin and fish cake terminology if he wants to impress the Michigan AD on the interview!

The Harbaugh to NFL rumors have no basis in reality right? Can't see why he would want to leave Michigan. He is an alum, gets paid a truckload, and he is reeling in awesome recruiting classes.

49ers officially have informed Chip Kelly he no longer is their coach, per source.

The chances of Chip becoming a coach of UConn is about the same as me running for governor of Connecticut and getting elected in a landslide.

You've got my vote!

What a disaster in San Francisco.
