Canzano: Chip Kelly’s NFL dance becomes clear as he returns to Oregon | OregonLive.com
Interesting stuff. I don’t know a ton about Chip Kelly but his football innovation certainly appeals to the X and O side of me.
But I think the job Kelly absolutely wants is the one currently held by 60-year-old three-time Super Bowl champion head coach Bill Belichick, who is as close to Kelly in his monomaniacal drive and ultimate hands-on style as there is in sports. Kelly visited with the Patriots this offseason. It’s been well-documented. The Patriots now use some of Kelly’s no-huddle terminology and basic concepts. And I wondered as the Browns and Eagles invested their time trying to convince Kelly they had dream jobs for him, if they could ever measure up to what Kelly learned from spending time with Belichick, who has unique control of Robert Kraft’s franchise in the same way Kelly does at Oregon.
