Chip Kelly may be on the way out in Philly.

It's speculation, nothing more, but it brings up some interesting possibilities. If Chip would commit to some larger, more powerful players than he did at Oregon, I think he could be very successful in the SEC. He could out hurry-up Auburn, and kids would be lining up to play for him.

 

Let's hope that Baton Rouge isn't in his gps. Don't need that crap at LSU.

 

the fans want offense.

 

True. But I doubt winning/losing games 52-49 will sit very well with the fan base.

Plus a little finesse Chip Kelly team will never beat a Nick Saban team. And beating Bama will be a HUGE factor in deciding the next ball coach.

 

I want O. I don't want Kelly. He comes across, at least to me, as a first class A hole.

 

Winning 52-49 would sit well. Losing by any score would not

 

If we were in the Big 12 or Pac 12.

 

We want an offense to compliment a dominating defense. Can Chip Kelly bring that? I'm guessing not.

 

Why couldn't he? If can bring in a solid DC and get out of the way and worry about O production. Sometimes it's hilarious to even read this board, we want a productive offense but we don't want an over-productive offense that would score TOO much. Maybe the reason there were 52-49 type scores in the PAC 12 is b/c that's the nature of that league just as we are used to 21-17 point games. Jimbo ain't coming to BR, it's time for us fans to be prepared to be excited for option B or C, and hopefully not options D or E...

 

I think Kelly's biggest issue at Oregon was recruiting undersized guys, who then got pushed around when they played a more physical team. I am not necessarily suggesting that I want him at LSU (I'd rather have Shaw), but I do think, if he were willing to adapt, he could be successful in the SEC.
