USC Trojans (official thread)

I know it's a running joke of Chip Kelly coming back and coaching everybody's team, but if he does want back into the college coaching world, he would kill it at USC. Would also kill it at TX, but I think Charlie gets one more year. That, and he recruited CA way more than TX since he was in Oregon. Imagine Chip Kelly's offense with the type of talent USC can pull in. Could be scary. Oregon on steroids.

I just don't get the Chip Kelly "mystique". He ran up the score against a lot of mediocre teams with a lot of razzle dazzle. He lost pretty much every big game--Buckeyes, LSU, Auburn, Boise St.--twice. His freaking signature win is a shootout over Wiscy in the Rose Bowl (yeah Bielama and shootout--not cookout--is what comes to every ones mind). That being said (as USC ranks just behind TSUN in my fanboi contempt) I would love it if it happened. Duck fan meltdown would surpass Mt. St. Helens and USC would still be irrelevant.

Here's where the mystique comes from: he was a damn good college head coach. 46-7, went to a BCS bowl all four seasons he was in charge and finished in the top four in three of those seasons. Buckeye fans may turn their noses up at that, but fans of most programs would kill to have him do for their program half of what he did at Oregon.

I can think of two (2) college football programs that wouldn't get better by making Chip Kelly their head coach.

Eh, smoke and mirrors. I live in OR and pretty much watched it all. With USC under sanctions the PAC was down. Kelly's big win over USC came with USC dressing (something like) 48 players. USC had none contact practices that season because of the depth issue.

Yeah, Kelly (with a lot of help from Uncle Phil--and the foundation Bellioti created) had an impressive run with a traditionally mediocre team. He may even be "genius" in using mostly 3 stars in that run. Yet, any team that could punch them in the mouth and slow them down prevailed. I don't see how giving him a recruiting class like USC can bring in changes that. Half of college football runs that system now and "tempo" really doesn't catch any by surprise.

Further, I doubt Kelly would succeed in the worlds of a USC or Texas. He is secretive (closed practices), hostile to the media and doesn't like schmoozing with alumni and donors. Besides, isn't he in the midst of changing the culture of the NFL?

Not entirely. The sanctions hit in 2010. Kelly was the HC from 2009-12. There were a few times before the sanctions when the Ducks and the Beavers beat SC during the 2000s.

Yes (I know you lived here too). The Beavs beat #1 ranked USC the year before--08.
You're right, SC wasn't under sanctions yet when the Ducks beat them in 09. My bad. SC was ranked #5 at the time but finished 9-4. Signature win?
