Would Chip Kelly Fit At Virginia Tech?
The Frank Beamer era is closing in Blacksburg, and much speculation has been made about his replacement. There have been several names mentioned as possible heirs, but none are as intriguing to me as current Eagles coach, Chip Kelly. Kelly is the anti-Beamer. While Beamer's M.O. has been a staunch defense and great special teams play, Kelly is a scoreboard operator's worst nightmare. At Oregon, Kelly redefined what a college offense could do. His tempo and pace is now a mainstay of coaches from the Pac-12 to the SEC.
"Beamer and Kelly have one thing in common: they both have never won a national championship."
