    Of course they love it (HS) vs the challenge of competing against National level DA players, which is a documented bridge too far.
    Q: What's the most important job on a football team?

    A: None, it's a game.

      Too bad Chip didn't know his own limits and take his own advice. He was best dealing with amateurs playing a school game.

      Poetic stuff.

        The important things is that they have fun.

          You do realize Chip at Oregon was playing on a stage that soccer in America is not even close to now? The athletes and the fan base Chip had was next level. ESPN and the national media lived in Eugene. Your post was silly.

            Sorry bud, you lost it. Amateurs playing a game, that's it.
            College sports.

            His Gimmick stuff that was short lived 09-12 in the grateful dead Autzen and now is buried in the stalls of Westwood.

            Not sure you even have a point, other than a man crush on a bizarre dude.

            Good luck with that.

              Chip Kelly shook the multi-billion dollar collegiate football world to the core and changed the game. If you have access to ratings data you can see the massive effect he had which was not limited to his team, but the many copy cats.

              You can call it a gimmick. You can point out that he struggled in the NFL and is struggling to rebuild UCLA. All true. However, the impact that he had on college football business is staggering. He electrified Saturday night football games and created billions of dollars of wealth.

                Pretending that a multi-billion dollar business is merely a "game" played by amateurs, has long been a popular hustle--especially in the shamateur ranks of the NCAA. Football is a game. College football, on the other hand, is a monster.

                One thing I like about soccer is that due to its working-class roots in England, it never suffered under the weight of Victorian notions of amateurism that handicapped other football codes (rugby union being the prime example). Sixteen-year-olds sign pro contracts without any second thought, and nobody utters nonsense about how they should play for free due to "love of the game", or pursue a fraudulent or useless college degree as a prerequisite for a pro career.

                Kelly is a very smart guy, and one of the sharper football minds around. He also had a unique political, financial, and recruiting situation in Eugene--it's almost certain he couldn't have done what he had did at Nebraska or Ohio State. Often times coaches will build a reputation off of one success (see: Mourinho, Jose and Chelsea), and it then take people a while to figure out that while he deserves some of the credit for that success, he doesn't deserve all, and the circumstances that lead to lightning striking one place may not produce the same result elsewhere.

                  2009 to 2012 is called a flash in the pan, intelligence doesn't always ensure longevity.

                    Chip Kelly walked into the perfect set up. He had some brilliant ideas and white hot energy. That extreme is never going to last long.

                    I don't think that head coach is the right fit in the long run for him. He really should be a OC at good school under a good recruiting coach.

                    He did change the game and the CFB empire is still reaping the financial benefits.
