Chip Kelly Named Bellotti Successor!

Today, UO Athletics department announced that when Mike Bellotti steps down from the head coaching position, offensive coordinator Chip Kelly will step in and take over. Fear not, Bellotti lovers! Our 115-55 hero will be be seated in the UO Athletics Director's chair, still supervising the campus sports.

For those of you who don't know much about Kelly, he is in the midst of a 4 year, $355,000 annual contract. Since he joined the Ducks last year, Kelly turned struggling but promising QB Dennis Dixon into a Heisman contender (damn that knee). He runs one of the most punishing spread option offenses in the NCAA, and turned the once pass-happy Ducks into a more powerful run first team. As of right now, UO ranks 4th in the nation with 277 some odd rushing yards per game, and are eighth in total offense with 467 yards a game.
