Is Chip a college version of Gruden?
Posted Fri, Sep 14 9:51 pm (Edited Fri, Sep 14 9:55 pm)
I have to ask because I am in tune with HS recruiting and Kelly is not landing or in real play for any top local super star players! That means we are not going to be relevant anytime soon. I have asked coaches that are at #1 top HS programs and they all say that nobody from UCLA is doing what Dabo or Oregon's HC or any top HC is doing with their players. So, if we have a bad class and we don't win 10 games by year 3 then Chip will be the blame. I am just letting you know what I hear. He is not relevant at the major HS programs compared to other top coaches right now. That is fact.

I am a Kelly fan but I can only give a coach credit for the players that he brings in and the number of wins he has.

he got rid of the stars with the eagles and niners. thinks he can win with his coaching and system no matter who he brings in. but i'm sure if they get some wins it will make people look more.

This logic is mind boggling.

Oregon averaged like 30th in the country during chips tenure, landing very few "local superstars", and by in large turning unsung kids into superstars. See: Mariota, Lamichael James, and Deforest Buckner. Chip knows what he wants and he knows how to evaluate talent. Until we can easily recruit top kids as chip did when he had sustained success, he will find diamonds in the rough.

to re-establish himself so it's totally fair to compare his efforts to that of Dabo etc.

His recruiting is very troubling

Players win games. The conference is overall stronger than when CK had his very (short) successful tenure with Oregon. Consistently competing with Stanford, USC, and Washington with inferior talent isn't a winning proposition. Even during his run at Oregon, Kelly generally lost when he played teams who had coaching and talent (LSU, Auburn, Ohio State).

To have only six commits and a mediocre class a few months away from early signing period with a roster in very poor shape is baffling and borderline negligent.
