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.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
