Chip Kelly to the Eagles

[Young and Horned]

That should help with our recruiting. We making a push on any of their recruits?

Why? They have one Texas recruit, who looks like he didn't even consider us.

 

[Delmonico]

Dear God, please let Oregon hire Sumlin!

The Oregon OC is going to get promoted.

 

[FeistyFrog]

It's a pretty safe bet that it's Mark Helfrich.

With Kelly as the one who did all of the playcalling, do you take that chance? Does Oregon decide to go another direction? Does he follow Kelly?

To me he gets a look but that is a big risk.

 

[TX_Krötenechse]

But how many of the staff will go with Kelly and how many will the OC-[Craig James]-HC keep around? For TJ and other recruits there is some serious uncertainty about who their position coaches will be.

Edit - come on now profanity filter, I was using that word in the Latin sense, not the normal/vulgar sense.

[TX_Krötenechse]

Feisty - That's been their succession plan for a while now.

It was announced during their bowl game that Mark Helfrich was their coach in waiting

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

That you Brent?

Someone gets it.

 

[Delmonico]

Why?

Because that's what they want to do.

GMFP said to be on their short list.

Sorry, couldn't help myself

Helfrich was Kelly's guy. Just common sense.

And Oregon doesn't lose all its appeal just because Kelly leaves. I'm pretty sure Phil Knight is still going to support the program, and I'm pretty sure all the ridiculous facilities are staying there.

As well as the possibility of NCAA sanctions.

My guess is that since they were going to promote Helfrich last year when Kelly was going to go to tampa Bay, Knight's already signed off on the move.

Best news today. Time to shut down the TXORRR

Of course not, best to get out now though before sanctions like Pete Carroll did.

 

[Horny 4 Life]

The big question is, does Boner get to claim credit for this?

 

[jack the frog]

As well as the possibility of NCAA sanctions.

Cowherd always full of it but he is claiming this is all one step ahead of the NCAA death squad heading to Oregon.

 

[cdsfrog]

Oregon went from irrelevant for however to a top 5 program in a blink of the eye.

Sanctions will come at some point.

 

[FrogSwagSurfin]

A friend of mine that worked for a professional recruiter, just like LSU's, told me at some point Oregon will be in some trouble. He said many of the Houston kids they picked up was done in a non NCAA legal manner

Well he did break the story, what, 2 weeks ago? Granted Kelly didn't know be was going to Philly but the devil is in the details.
