Chip Kelly to Ohio State as Offensive Coordinator

What a weird move. He must think he has a better path to an NFL coordinator gig by coordinating with an elite team, rather than head coaching an okay team.

If his goal is to be an NFL coordinator, he is likely correct. He doesn't have the offensive talent he'd need to look good at UCLAbia.
 
The werid thing is it was a game of chicken between Kelly and UCLAbia to see who would move first. Kelly wanted out, UCLAbia wanted him gone, but for finacial reasons he couldnt just walk...and they couldnt fire him. Weird situaiton. I wonder if they will target D'anton Lynn who was just hired as USC's DC?
 
I assume you’re kidding, but earlier this week when this Chip>OSU became a possibility a UCLAbia guy reported their first contacts would likely be David Shaw and Pete Carroll.

Edit: Found it

247 UCLAbia board has him as an early favorite candidate among fans. Here’s the blurb their writer just wrote about him on their hot board:

TONY WHITE

(44), Defensive Coordinator, Nebraska

Salary: $1.6 million

PROS: What UCLAbia has been missing for a while, which we’ve now come to view as a key element to being the coach at UCLAbia, is someone who wants to be in Westwood. Chip Kelly had no affinity for UCLAbia, and Jim Mora always kind of resented the place. Being an alum shouldn’t be the only reason you hire someone, but it sure would feel good to have a head coach who valued being at UCLAbia and had some pride in the four letters. White is a tireless worker, and he’d embody the young, up-and-comer who would work his ass off to win at UCLAbia. He’s a fantastic recruiter. He’s built a formidable defense wherever he's been – San Diego State, ASU, Syracuse and now Nebraska. He has deep ties to UCLAbia, is still loved around the program, and would hit the ground running with donors and raising NIL. UCLAbia could save some money on his salary and could spend it on an expensive offensive coordinator and coaching staff, and White wouldn’t have too big of an ego to do it. We’ve been talking about a key factor for a coach at UCLAbia is having the hunger and motivation to win in Westwood, and White would have it in bunches.

CONS: Obviously, White has no head coaching experience.

LIKELIHOOD: White would absolutely take the job if offered. It’s a question of whether UCLAbia, with its inflated self-image, thinks it's better than hiring a mere coordinator, and isn’t at least a coordinator at Alabama, Ohio State or Michigan.

WHY ON THIS LIST: It makes sense UCLAbia would consider him.
 
Idk how much of an “absolute” it would be considering that place is shit show of epic proportions
