Bruins coach Chip Kelly announced on Sunday that Frye had been promoted to offensive coordinator, a role that had been filled by Kelly during his first season in Westwood.
It was not immediately clear whether Kelly would continue to call his team’s plays, do so in a more collaborative manner or cede those duties entirely to Frye.
Frye presided over an offensive line that helped the Bruins rush for 1,858 yards and 20 touchdowns last season, including at least one rushing touchdown in each of the last eight games. Joshua Kelley rushed for 1,243 yards and topped 100 yards in six games despite not becoming the team’s primary tailback until the fourth game of the season.
