Northwestern hires Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator

Chip Kelly didn’t have to wait long to land his next job.

The former Oregon and Philadelphia Eagles coach was hired as Northwestern’s offensive coordinator on Tuesday.

The move comes on the heels of the Las Vegas Raiders firing Kelly as offensive coordinator late last month after just 11 games. But he has a history of overseeing explosive offenses, particularly at the college level.

Kelly led Oregon to a 46-7 record and a national championship game appearance from 2009 to 2012 before spending four years as an NFL head coach — three with Philadelphia and one with San Francisco. He returned to the college ranks as UCLA’s coach from 2018-23, leading the Bruins to a 35-34 record. He was offensive coordinator at Ohio State under Ryan Day last year, helping the Buckeyes win the national championship.

Starting at $2.99/week.
