Chip Kelly, the former coach of the Oregon Ducks, is making his return to the NFL as he joins the Las Vegas Raiders as their offensive coordinator. Kelly previously led the Ohio State Buckeyes to a National Championship in the College Football Playoff. During his time at Oregon, Kelly had an impressive record of 46-7 in four seasons, including trips to the Rose Bowl, a Fiesta Bowl win, and a runner-up finish in the 2010 BCS National Championship.
This will be Kelly’s third stint in the NFL, having previously coached the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers. He has a 28-35 record as a head coach in the NFL. Kelly’s return to the NFL comes after a successful run at Ohio State, where he coached players such as Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota and running back LeGarrette Blount.
Kelly recently made headlines by taking a shot at his former team, the Oregon Ducks, stating that the intentional 12-man penalty they used against Ohio State served as motivation for the Buckeyes players during their National Championship run. The Buckeyes ultimately defeated Notre Dame in the title game, with Kelly guiding their offense to victory.
With Kelly’s vast experience in both college and professional football, his appointment as the Raiders’ offensive coordinator is expected to bring a new dynamic to the team’s offensive strategy. Fans are eagerly anticipating what Kelly can bring to the team and how he will help elevate the Raiders’ performance in the upcoming seasons.
