His best players came from TX where he was doing the recruiting using a 3rd

party guy that IIRC is now against NCAA rules specifically because what he did at Oregon. Look at Oregon's history...Mediocre for decades, then Belotti copied Bronco and they became relevant, Kelly takes over, does questionable recruiting and they become great, that goes away and they become mediocre once again.

Nobody wants Chip Kelly as a coach so he joins ESPN as an analyst. Should have stayed at Oregon

He just made a bazillion dollars.

And that's probably it. No one wants him at the price he wants

Since the recent stock market downturn

Interesting. I didn't know "bazillion" stood for $18 million.

All of the good college vacancies were filled by the time the Niners fired him

Yep....but I would think he'd prefer the west coast where he knows recruiting

Arizona seems like the most likely to be available, maybe UCLA?

Belotti was at Oregon when Bronco was an assistant at NM. What did he copy?

There is a history written about the turn around at Oregon after the lost to BYU

Nat Gas Man

5/26/17 3:31pm

He already had some pretty good teams before that though

fulano

yes but Belotti gives the credit to Bronco...which was nice

Here's a link to the story.

He may say that, but Bellotti only lasted 2 more seasons after that BYU game before he was forced to resign to make way

didn't he become the AD and hire Kelly?

From a Sports Illustrated article on Phil Knight and Oregon:

He will find another job soon, I'm sure. Every time a college coaching job opens

He chased his dream. Good for him. Didn't work so far at least

Probably lost his chance at an NFL head coaching gig, but any big time college

Zak

Well, given his use of shady scouting services which earned him an 18-month show-cause penalty...

sakhr

He will coach again....will be interesting to see where he ends up.
