Jonathan Jones and Kyle Long on Pushing the Pile talk about Chip Kelly being the hottest name on the NFL coaching market.. again
“We very well could Kyle. Chip Kelly, going back to when he was at UCLA still had interest in the NFL.. Chip Kelly is not going to be a head coach again in the NFL. Will he be an offensive coordinator in the NFL? I think that suits him quite nicely.. I do know for a fact that he’s at or near the top of multiple teams lists for offensive coordinator.
In Jacksonville Liam Coen, however, Liam Coen’s going to be calling offensive plays. I don’t know that Chip Kelly—you bring in Chip Kelly, you better have him call offensive plays.
That’s why the Houston Texans make the most sense for Chip Kelly. Having just fired Bobby Slowik, having DeMeco Ryans a defensive head coach who is going to seed complete and full control and authority to his offensive coordinator for the offense, and of course, their background. I mentioned Chip Kelly coaching with the Philadelphia Eagles, DeMeco Ryans played for atime for the Philadelphia Eagles, they know one another. They go back like rock and chairs. So with all of this, you could see this potential union taking place. Wouldn’t be surprised as interviews go on. If it does happen, that it could happen in the next week or so.”
