I could see this going either way. Certainly, Day trusts Kelly enough to let him call the plays... BUT it also sounds like an echo chamber feedback loop to me. Do we really need two Day's? I hope the fact that they're all clearly all in on the year is enough to make them aggressive with the talent we have and not just continuing the turtle-ing we've seen.

If anything, I see Kelly as run focused and coming up with creativity on that end while being able to handle the weekly meetings and playcalling without question. Has everything that BoB offered, but I would argue is a better offensive mind and more creative.

I think it would be an amazing fit. Chip Kelly was dynamic at putting Oregon on the map. He didn’t pan out in the NFL and hated LA - understandable. But if you’re truly interested in Day becoming the CEO and giving up play calling , who more to trust than your own mentor. The lessons Day will be able to learn for future growth of himself and the program in this scenario would be outstanding. I think the players would love it, he can recruit well, and there’s relationships built between the 3 big offensive contributors: OC, OL, HC.

Damn good point about the relationships. If there was ever a chance that new faces would go smoothly, it would be this hire connecting Frye and Day through Chip. I'm stoked!
