I finally figured out this Chip Kelly deal
OK, sometimes I don’t pay attention to college sports as much as I should.
They’re paying Chip Kelly not to take another job. We all knew that. But I think the real crux of the thing is that the University of Oregon athletic department has so much dough, that’s really about all they’re paying him for. When and if Mike Bellotti does decide not to be the football coach anymore, the Ducks will consider Kelly as a candidate to be his successor.
But if it doesn’t seem like the right move at the time, they’ll just buy him out and hire someone else. It’s only a million bucks a year, after all. I mean, what’s the big deal? That’s chump change in Eugene.

65 points and to do it on Reser field in the Beavers most important game in 40+ years…now that is impressive!
Sure Kelly should get credit, and apparently he is paid well for his efforts…
This is a high scoring fun team to watch. However does his style of play come at a cost? They score so darn fast that it makes the duck defense be on the field alot more often than usual.
I guess Oregon wants the title of the number one school in the state. They are also pushing hard for national recognition. The reality of sports today also requires fat wallets.
sad but true
