Former Oregon and Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly is joining the Las Vegas Raiders as their new offensive coordinator, surprising many as Darrell Bevell was considered the frontrunner. Kelly, known for his offensive prowess, most recently won a national championship with Ohio State. This marks his return to the NFL after a stint with the San Francisco 49ers.
Here’s a little Sunday surprise regarding the Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator spot. It was expected that ex-Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll would reunite with ex-Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell and make him his play-caller in Vegas. Not so fast! Out of nowhere, former Oregon head coach and Ohio State offensive coordinator is returning to the NFL to be the Raiders OC. There wasn’t any inkling that Kelly was a candidate for this job but here we are.
Known as a great offensive mind who had tremendous success with Oregon, Kelly had a promising start to his Philadelphia Eagles coaching career when he took the Eagles to the playoffs, but then he got front office control in 2015 and he was the master of his own demise. A single season with the talent-starved San Francisco 49ers in 2016 predictably ended in a 2-14 campaign and a firing. This will be Kelly’s first NFL job since that 49ers stint and his first NFL offensive coordinator role.
