Succession plans are for presidents, not head football coaches
Oregon’s idea of handing a job to Chip Kelly before it’s open seems stupid to me. The closer he gets to being athletic director, the less Mike Bellotti is going to like that job.
Man, I bet Chris Peterson — a great coach at Boise State and former Ducks assistant — just about passed out when he heard that news.

Dwight; Really been enjoying your new gig here… your one or two paragraphs trump a whole Canzano column any day. Any thoughts on the speculation I’ve been hearing that this move was a response to an imminent play for Kelly by the Huskies?
JC,
I had the same thought.
Also would indicate that the Ducks are betting on Kelly being a better coach than Peterson, they better be right, if he was content to stay in Boise waiting for the Ducks job that is over and he now becomes a top candidate at every Pac 10 school.
