"A number of substantial Oregon football boosters, many of whom requested anonymity, expressed a widespread annoyance with Kelly. The coach with the highest winning percentage (45-7, 86.5 percent) among BCS conference coaches is at odds with many of those closest to the Oregon program. Although most would agree Kelly is an extraordinary coach, he doesn't care much for the many other obligations that come with his job."

Absolutely retarded.

Although, I am sure if he keeps Knight content, nobody else matters.

[Mitchell88]

he is the in the NFL next year anyways

[VegasInsider]

Someone tell those boosters to just hug another tree and leave the football to Chip.

Idiots.

[Dirty Sanchez]

I know Kansas City Chief and San Diego Charger fans would tell him to name his price with the stiffs that are currently coaching their teams

[eastern2]

They'll care after he leaves and they fade back to irrelevance

[Vegas39]

Oregon football boosters.

[Emily_Haines]

He won't last a half a season in the NFL with that stupid offense.

When he lines up on extra points in the stupid formation they will laugh at him.

[Big Bear]

he is the in the NFL next year anyways

yep pretty much a done deal he will be coaching the Carolina Panthers.

[Killer_Demo]

That would be idiotic to replace Chip

Report: NCAA infractions hearing looming for Ducks

Posted by John Taylor on December 19, 2012, 6:02 PM EST
Getty ImagesIt’s been nearly a year since anything relevant has surfaced on the NCAA’s investigation of the Oregon football program as it relates to Willie Lyles.
Based on one report, that could very well change once the calendar flips from 2012 to 2013..
Oregon had been crossing every available appendage in the hope that the probe into its program would end in a summary disposition, with the NCAA agreeing to UO’s findings on rules violations and sanctions and end a saga that’s nearly two years in the making. That apparently won’t be the case as Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the school’s bid for a summary disposition has failed, which will trigger an appearance in front of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions.
While the exact date of the hearing is not yet known, Yahoo! reports that it will likely take place in the spring. UO received its Letter of Inquiry from the NCAA in September of 2011.
In March of 2011, both Yahoo! and ESPN.com published reports that called into question the financial relationship between Oregon and a pair of so-called recruiting services. One of those services was/is Complete Scouting Services, solely owned and operated by purported “street agent” Willie Lyles.
In late February of 2010, Oregon purchased for $25,000 from Lyles’ scouting service what was described as a “2011 National Package” that detailed recruits from several states. One of the biggest problems with that? The package for 2011 purchased by UO contained zero recruits that would make up the following year’s recruiting class. Instead, the vast majority of players highlighted in the 143-page book UO received from Lyles contained data on members of the 2009 recruiting class.
In the midst of rumors that Lyles had steered recruits such as Lache Seastrunk to the Ducks — and that he was paid handsomely for said steering (allegedly) — the man at the center of the controversy claimed in July of 2011 that UO “paid for what they saw as my access and influence with recruits. The service I provided went beyond what a scouting service should … I made a mistake and I’m big enough of a man to admit I was wrong.”
That claim came a couple of months after Lyles, who has spoken to the NCAA on multiple occasions, labeled as ““unequivocally false” reports that he steered recruits to universities.
This latest development comes amid speculation that Ducks head coach Chip Kelly could be headed to the NFL following the completion of the 2012 season. Such a move would be eerily reminiscent of another Pac-12 head coach leaving for the for the next level amid a lingering NCAA cloud; shortly before the NCAA hammered the USC program for violations, Pete Carroll, in a move that should be considered nothing more than a coincidence winkwink nudgenudge, left for the Seattle Seahawks.

Guy can beat up on those shit teams but when he has to play a real team suddenly the offense don't work as good.

[Big Bear]

That would be idiotic to replace Chip

guy has bigger goals than Oregon. Oregon is just a stepping stone for him.

[Louisvillekid1]

There's only one Oregon alum that matters

[ChalkyDog]

There's only one Oregon alum that matters

Yep.

Although the more I think about this, the more the looming destruction of the program by the NCAA makes sense,

Good timing of the article.
