Chip Kelly has been finding his way into the news lately, turning up everywhere from Tuscaloosa, where he visited Alabama coach Nick Saban, to San Francisco, where he reportedly interviewed for the 49ers head-coaching job.
This piece in the San Francisco Chronicle quotes retired coach Dick Vermeil as saying he believes Kelly might be exactly what the 49ers need.
After watching Kelly up-close while covering the Oregon Ducks for two years as a beat writer, I think he is a brilliant football coach.
But I'll be surprised if another NFL team hires him as a head coach in the near future.
