    Maybe so,.. If he does return to college, I hope it's back home to the Ducks. Now would be a good time. :cool:

    While the dude can field an electrifying O... his ability to do a D is sketch at best. Wasn't it his Ducks O that completely fell apart a few years ago against the Seminoles?

    I can admit when I'm wrong, I had to look it up to remember.
    My biggest issue with CK ball is the style of O when it comes to winning big games against a real defense. See the 2011 LSU game as evidence. In a conference where O is everything it's fine, but gimmicky offenses tend to run into a road block when they face teams like a Bama, LSU, Auburn, tOSU, etc.

    Chip Kelly is a weird one sorta like Petrino and an asshole.
    He dismantled philly and left them worse for wear. They are already 100% improved since they shit canned him. I don't think he has the respect in the pros and will be forced to head back the college once he goes 5-11 the next couple of years. Not sure if he improved in sf but he did keep kaepernick.

    His player personnel decisions in philly were abysmal.

    Chip is different,.. I've always been a big fan of his, still am.

    Not everyone else believes in him. At Philly, from the start, the national press was doubting his system, saying it couldn't work. It did work though.. he immediately turned the Eagles into a winner.

    Chip Kelly doesn't like reporters, that hurt him, I think the media painted an ugly picture. They even allowed him to be portrayed as a racist. Started by a whiny player that Kelly got rid of, because of his shitty attitude. Racism?.. total bullshit,.. At Oregon, if there was even a smidgen of a hint of racism,.. Chip would have been tarred, feathered, driven out of town,.. that crap don't fly in ultra PC Eugene.

    That said,.. by the start of his 3rd season,.. things were going bad, very rocky, his ship was taking on water, I don't know if Kelly could of kept it afloat. Chip did dismantle the team, he needs his kind of players,.. his player personnel decisions abysmal?.. I'm afraid you're right about that,..

    Kaepernick is very popular with his teammates ,.. not with me though,.. I don't care, couldn't care less, about his stuff,.. I just want to watch football.

    Will Chip Kelly make it in San Francisco?.. I hope so.
