Chip Kelly (National Champion)

I want Chip back.

Hopefully Chip has stopped having dreams of returning to the NFL and is done with the stress of being college HC.

Day obviously trusts Chip. And with all of his experience, Day can delegate some of his responsibilities to him and avoid stress and burnout, thus extending his career.

Has any NCAA program had two former NFL head coaches as coordinators at the same time?

Bama under Saban would be my first guess

As I understand it, you can have as many assistants as you want.

Only 11 can go off campus and recruit.

Division I removes some restrictions on countable coaches in football - NCAA.org

The Division I Council on Tuesday approved a rule change adopted by the Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision Oversight Committees to permit

Yep so he doesn't have to recruit if they don't want him to

Heck, Chip could take a salary of $1 per year, and the Raiders could pay his whole check....

The more I think about it the more I would like to see Chip to return to Ohio State. To have three different OC's in three years could be a disruption to the offensive flow. Chip and Day are like peanut butter and jelly. They are better together than a part. Relationships are key at Ohio State. Chip knows Day better than anyone. Chip knows many on the football staff. Both on the field and off the field. Chip knows most of the offensive players. Chip knows the playbook. Very little learning curve here. Chip helped us win a natty last year. All of these things make Chip the overwhelming favorite inmo.
