Former San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly has landed a new job, and I think it could be a good one. ESPN announced on Friday that they have hired Kelly to serve in an analyst role for both college football and the NFL. According to ESPN, he’ll work Friday and Sunday SportsCenter, but predominantly work on Saturday college football coverage for pre-games, halftimes and studio wraps on ESPN2.
Kelly’s NFL career did not pan out like he was hoping, and he will probably be back coaching a college program before too long, but in the meantime, I really like this hire.
