GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Before you say this is crazy, know that the defensive version of this scenario is already happening at Ohio State.

Greg Schiano is over-qualified for the job he has right now as Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator. He should be a head coach somewhere, but instead he put his touch on one of the best defenses in the country and was the perfect fill-in when the Buckeyes lost Chris Ash.

Think Schiano would've taken this job just anywhere? No. He came because Urban Meyer needed his help, and Meyer is his friend.

Now Meyer needs offensive help. And Chip Kelly needs a job -- well, kinda.

It was reported on Saturday that Kelly, the former Oregon head coach, will be fired by the San Francisco 49ers after one season. Kelly doesn't really need a job, because he'll be getting paid by the NFL (like Schiano) even though he's not working. Funny how that works.

Kelly and Meyer are close, maybe not as close as Meyer and Schiano, but close enough maybe that Meyer could convince Kelly that a short stint as a college offensive coordinator is worth it to get back in the head coaching game. It helps that there aren't any major college head coaching jobs that would be enticing to Kelly, and it feels unlikely that another NFL team would hire a guy who was just fired twice in two years.

So we're going here. This is not a report. And it's also not wholly original.

It's a little bit of reckless speculation, but mostly just throwing everything against the wall at a time when Ohio State needs a shakeup on its offensive coaching staff.
