Chip Kelly dumps UCLA to become Ohio State’s offensive coordinator
Chip Kelly has finally escaped Westwood.
Kelly has left UCLA to join Ohio State as its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in a three-year deal, the school announced Friday night.
Kelly had been trying for weeks to find another job as UCLA’s recruiting suffered.
“We are extremely excited to have Chip and his wife, Jill, joining our program,” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said in a statement. “His experience as a head coach at Oregon, UCLA and in the NFL will bring immediate value to our entire team. I am really looking forward to reconnecting with Chip, introducing him to our staff and team and chasing a championship together.”
Kelly interviewed to be the offensive coordinator for the Raiders, Commanders and Seahawks and was passed over by all three teams.
Instead, Kelly now joins Day’s staff after Bill O’Brien left on Friday to become Boston College’s head coach.
O’Brien only had the job for about a month after he held the offensive coordinator position with the Patriots last season.
Kelly is not the only college football head coach to leave their school for a college football coordinator position.
