Not to pretend I'm Ace/Tremendous/TomVH, but I believe it's down to Tennessee/Auburn/Ole Miss/Miami (YTM)/Oregon/Michigan. Tennessee/Auburn are coachless so the fact he is deciding soon may disqualify them.

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
All you need is one that's
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.
November 27th, 2012 at 10:13 AM |
I know of a QB
I know of a QB
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?
November 27th, 2012 at 11:00 AM |
Yes, because with only

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.
November 27th, 2012 at 11:31 AM |

ahh

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?

While I am not confident that he would succeed, I would watch and savor every snap this kid gets in the NFL if he were to get a shot to be a QB.

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.

I love Denard, and that's why I wish to never see him playing QB in the NFL. Those guys would destroy him physically in just one or two games.

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.

NFL head coaching hires are often jokes. Like you mentioned, your only choices are out of work NFL guys who failed elsewhere or good coordinators who have little to no leadership/management experience of that magnitude. Kelly would be an interesting hire.

I would be shocked if he
I would be shocked if he left Alabama anytime soon. He has a huge paycheck and has made Alabama easily the best college program and no signs of slowing. He's already taken a shot at the NFL and failed and honestly a team would have to throw 4-5 million a year at saban to get him to move. The only teams dumb enough to do that would be Washington and the Cowboys probably
November 27th, 2012 at 10:53 AM |
Doubtful
Doubtful
Vick will be 33/34 next season and only getting slower so not sure any coach would take that risk. Plus Reid and Vick's futures in Philly are linked so hard to believe that Vick stays if/when Reid gets the ax.

I would think the list is
I would think the list is
I would think the list is really MIchigan and Ole Miss, considering he's a pro style back who wants to run in a pro style system, and Oregon is not. plus we have 2 of the top OLIne classes back to back, and are in want of a feature back.
