Day 105

Fresh Start_105: Paging Dr. Kelly
Everything is aligning for the Chip Kelly and the Oregon Ducks to get back together and be a happy married couple again. The Oregon Ducks fired their head man Mark Helfrich after a very disappointing 2016. Both parties look to be on track to come together again in Eugene next season. Kelly lead the Ducks to 2 National Championship games under the old system and lost both. Kelly was the one that orchestrated the brand that is Oregon Ducks football. If it wasn’t for Kelly, Marcus Mariota might not be the player that he is in the draft. And you can say that about a ton of other players that dawned the multitude of jerseys that the Ducks have worn over the years.

Kelly right now is a 1-win team in San Francisco and in his first season by the bay, he isn’t making a strong candidacy to make a return for 2017. The 9’ers owner Jed York will fire Kelly fastest then some of his former players can run the forty and Kelly will be on the NFL streets looking for a new home. Honestly, I don’t know if there is another job for Chip Kelly in the NFL right now. That’s nothing against Kelly, there has been plenty of coaches that haven’t found success in the NFL on their first try out of the college game. The most recent being Pete Carroll. Kelly can bring what he has learned from coaching in the big leagues back to college and improve the Oregon program drastically from what it has been since he left.

The Ducks need Kelly back, he is their guy and there is no way around that. When Kelly gets fired they sound send him an offer right away, in fact they should be waiting outside 49’er HQ with the offer in hand and meet him in the parking lot. For the way the Ducks have been playing football for the past decade, Kelly is the best in the business in making that type of game successful in college. It seems like a perfect marriage, quite frankly because the first time it worked to near perfection. If Kelly can get on the plane and bring home a top 10 recruiting class, the Pac 10 could be seeing the return of a playoff representative. If I am the Pac 10 commissioner, I would be calling Chip Kelly and imploring him to take the open position at Oregon so that the Pac 10 can have a shot at bringing home the National Title. If I am an Oregon Duck fan, I would be routing against the 9’ers for the rest of the season and praying that Kelly will be dawning his black and green polo on the sidelines next season.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
