That's where the spread really excels and you have the best shot of 'out-talenting' your opponent. Every NFL job is just a ticking clock towards your inevitable firing unless you're one of the fortunate few who can survive

Deal with that, or return to college and make basically the same amount of money with way more job security?

Nothing good is open right now unless he can get an NFL job when 1/3 of the league fires their coach.

He'll get any college job he wants after next year if he sits a year and works for ESPN.

I''m guessing he wants some control over player personnel in the NFL, even though Chip the GM probably cost Chip the Coach his job.  I'm wondering if any owners would give him the player control he would like, and at the same time wondering if Kelly would go somewhere to just be the coach.

  1. Texas
  2. LSU if Miles struggles again
  3. Penn St. (that feels like a match made in college football Heaven - the B1G East would be incredible)
  4. Notre Dame if Brian Kelly leaves for the NFL
  5. UCLA if Mora's seat gets hot and he bolts for the NFL
  6. Florida St. if Jimbo goes to Texas or LSU

Any other realistic scenarios for top schools? Let's be real, he's going to get a top job in college next year if he waits. He's not going to a UVA or Maryland type.

Well, if you consider hiring Will Muschamp filling a head coaching position, then yes it has. If not, then perhaps there is some way for Chip Kelly to head to South Carolina so that Gamecocks fans could be assured that this has simply been some collective nightmare.

Living in Columbia I can tell you many fans are not as unhappy as they should be. They actually try to make the case that it's a better hire than Smart to Georgia, which is of course based on the fact that Smart has no HC experience and forgetting that muschamp was a disaster at Florida.
