There are also rumors that if he were to jump ship, that Oregon would promote his OC to HC, per agreement of chip Kelly to stay for the extra year instead of jumping ship last year. Not sure if true, but at the least would indicate that the system would stay the same. Of course, HC leaving would present a great deal of uncertainty anyways.

All you need is one that's willing to try it, and I don't think it's true that none would. It's hard to find success in the NFL, even with a regular coach, and coaching hires are really challenging. You have your choice of has-beens that have already proven they can lose somewhere else, up-and-coming coordinators with no head coaching experience, or college coaches. It's an inexact science obviously, and there's no reason that no one would take a chance with Kelly.

I know of a QB that is a senior in college that is fast enough to run the spread.  I think his name is Denard.  Yeah, Denard Robinson.  Most say he's not big enough to be an NFL QB, but I think he'd be a better investment than Sanchez, Tebow, Matt Flynn or many others.  Who's with me?

Yes, because with only moderate to midling success running the spread in college against teams with a pulse on defense makes him a great candidate to do so in the NFL. Love the kid as a person and as an athlete, but an NFL QB, no matter the system, he is not. An NFL player at another position, he most certainly can be.

Michigan does not run the spread. When RR was here they did and Denard had great success. Its why he has a legit shot at being the most successful eunning qb of all time. Since Hoke has gotten here that is not the spread.

Another one of those people who doesn't understand that there is more involved in football than a qb. You realize that denards best year with RR and having a 7-5 year might also be tied to...oh I dunno, a defense that got ran over by peewee teams?

With the right coach, I think it would work for a while. But Denard repeatedly got dinged up in college.  He'd last about 5 games running a read-option spread in the NFL.  I really don't think that's an exaggeration at all.

Great kid, can't throw well enough for Kelly's system which does not rely heavily on the qb to run, but instead to be mobile enough to take off when appropriate.

Cleveland Browns fan here.  LOTS of rumors floating around C-Town that Kelly will be the next coach once we rid ourselves of the NFL's version of Kirk Ferentz.  Word has it that the new owner Haslam wants to make a splash with his first HC hire, not afraid to take risks, has the money, and doesnt want an NFL HC re-tread.

That sure sounds like Kelly to me.
