Earlier this year, former Oregon Football and NFL Head Coach Chip Kelly signed a contract with ESPN to be a commentator for both College and NFL shows on the network starting in the Fall, but his heart is in Coaching. Almost immediately his name rose toward the top of the list of potential candidates to replace Freeze at Ole Miss.
Kelly has some familiarity in working with and through NCAA Sanctions. He was hit with some when he was with Oregon Football. However, when you go to the SEC, Ole Miss is not the school that jumps off the page.
