I tend to agree with you that this was put out there by Chip's agent. Oregon has A LOT of money. Chip's a good coach and all, but they can certainly afford a lot better.

Sorry, but again disagree. Kelly is NOT a good coach. If he was it wouldn't have taken him 4 years and a senior laden team to go 8-4 and hang on to one of the worst defensive coordinators in the country.

didn't say he's a great coach. he is good. but Oregon has the cash to pursue a top 10 coach.

And yet, they chose a 35-year old rising start coordinator/ace recruiter who's never been a head coach before for a shade under $5 million a year over the course of the contract (6 yrs, $29.1 million - starting at $4.6M with a 100K accelerator each of the first 5 yrs)... wonder what Oregon knows that apparently we don't...

dude, he's been the DC at GEORGIA for the last 3 years. There's a reason he was making 7 figures as a coordinator. Dan Lanning was no secret.
