Kelly is playing in the national championship. Played in the Rose Bowl last year. Has the best offence in the nation. Coaches at a school with unlimited funding and resources. Could command whatever salary he wanted and would be provided. Recruits are flocking to go to Oregon.
Do I need to continue...?
EDIT: UM could offer him 5 million. Phil Knight could offer him 50 million. Please. Just stop.

Seriously, do half of these people watch college football. Michigan is not a dominant program right now and really hasn't been for quite a few years. He has a team in the BCS championship game and an open checkbook from the superbooster that created NIKE. His situation right now is almost better than any situation Michigan could offer him. EVER.

I'm not saying
I'm not saying
that the Chip Kelly rumors should have legs, I'm just saying the national championship shouldn't be what disqualifies him. What disqualifies him is that he would never leave Oregon (a team he has turned into a perennial contender in the soon to be Pac-12) for a rebuilding Michigan team. I think a lot of coaches who are having success at regional schools have learned from what Rich Rod did three years ago - leaving a good local situation for a national clusterfu*k.

Have you seen the facilities at Oregon? The fanbase? There's about 300 reasons why Kelly's in a much better position than Patterson.

Money isn't everything. If I was offered millions of dollars right now to be the head coach, I probably wouldn't take the job. Quite frankly, if any of the coaches we've mentioned other than Hoke come to Michigan, they're insane.
Yeah, I said it.
Special Teams means special times!
My brain hurts. Why Chip Kelly is continuously being mentioned by fans is beyond me. He isn't coming. Shouldn't be hard to figure out why...
