The Transition Coaches: Chip Kelly
Between 1977 and 2008, the Oregon Ducks had just two head football coaches. For more than 30 years, that remarkable consistency allowed the program to steadily grow from its humble place it occupied in the early to mid-1970s to the national presence it enjoys today.
In stark contrast, between 2009 and 2021, Oregon had four different head coaches in just 12 years—twice as many as in the previous 31—with none staying longer than four seasons.
