Chip Kelly

UCLA is wasting no time in pursuing former NFL and Oregon Ducks coach Chip Kelly, according to many sources.

There are rumors flying that David Dunn, Kelly's agent is set to meet with UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero and Associate Athletic Director Josh Rebholz. but we have yet to confirm the rumors.

Kelly was the vastly successful coach at Oregon, leading the Ducks 46-7, four Pac-12 Championships and an appearance in the National Championship Game in five seasons.

He then went on to coach in the NFL, at Philadelphia and San Francisco, to limited success. This last season he has worked as a TV football commentator.

Kelly is considered one of the most cutting edge innovators in college football. He did have a show cause ruling with the NCAA after the Oregon program was hit with violations in 2013, but the show cause has since run out.

The 49ers still owe Kelly millions of dollars in its buyout, with some estimates in the $60 million dollar range. The 49ers would still be on the hook in paying Kelly, minus what any new employer would pay him.
