Coaching Carousel (Football)
- Status
Unrelated to College carousel, but diving in to the High School carousel with a couple of former Illini coaches: https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfls-lovie-smith-son-miles-151056789.html
After Miles passed on the PSU job, this seems like the logical next step, right @Indy Illini Fan ?
Northwestern names Chip Kelly OC in 'program-defining' move
Veteran coach Chip Kelly, who won a national title at Ohio State in 2024 as offensive coordinator, was named OC at Northwestern, the school announced Tuesday.
Your move Bert. Henry was able to stop the "Preston Stone Throws A Bunch Of Picks" offense. Do you trust him to stop the next iteration?

If this is a “program-defining” move, does that mean NW is a has-been program a decade past its heyday?
It could be. Don't know if the Ryan family is kicking into NIL as well along with the new stadium? I'm sure some...
Really need some high-end track star type speed to mesh with Chip's offense IMO. This feels like a Fickell bringing in the air raid to Wisconsin move (I can be wrong).
If the recruiting can't be elevated to match the scheme, this will be looked at as a head scratching decision.
Oregon Head Coach —>UCLA Head Coach —>tOSU OC —> northwestern OC
Can you spot a trend? Rutgers QB Coach next, or a MAC program?

Odd move for sure. Would have thought a different landing spot with all the coaching movement.
But, probably made a deal where he won’t be on the road recruiting - assuming other places wouldn’t agree to that.
Known to not like recruiting.
Chip Kelly has been in a mostly free-fall since about 2012 after leaving Oregon.
He had 2 decent years with the Philly Eagles in '13 & '14 and a 1 yr resurrection winning the '24/25 NC at OSU as OC, but for that he has been a bust.
He was a total disaster for LV Raiders as his offense was unprepared and disorganized, which is saying something when you consider the franchise he was at.
I think this is just Chip grabbing as much $$ as possible on his way into the beyond.

You left out Oregon->HC Philadelphia Eagles 3 yr ->HC San Francisco 49ers 1 yr-> UCLA HC->OSU OC-> OC LV Raiders->OC NW
drop from NFL HC to Northwest OC is crazy
Should’ve never left OSU.
Someone has to take the blame
Unless northwestern is going to bring in loads of talent I don’t see the match being very goodNorthwestern names Chip Kelly OC in 'program-defining' move

His last 3 years at UCLA were actually pretty solid
They’re after Arroyo … They better bring the BAG, because Kenny ain’t just gonna let him walk …

This is the risk. The guy has won big at Ohio State (massive talent advantage) and Oregon (massive schematic advantage + great talent), but has been meh everywhere else.

While it’s admitted in the article is a very outside the box idea and likely won’t happen, Bielema is mentioned in this article about the NFL carousel. Nate Scheelhaase is also mentioned as someone who may get some opportunities to interview.
