Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
If it were possible in a few years, would you hire Chip Kelly as your HC after he fails in the NFL?

And on an off week.
GFY
Vick is 33. Chip already needs to replace him. Vick is too old to be a true read/option QB. NFL teams that toyed with the read/option are already calling it less this year to save wear and tear on their QB's. That includes Seattle. It's also why Washington doesn't run it. Sark wants to "save' wear and tear on KP. Do I agree with him? Of course not. NOT running it is also hurting ASJ, because the 3rd option is the dump over the LB to the TE. Tuiasasopo has to be dying inside watching Sark NOT run the system, because he would be a great QB in that system. Mariota is just a younger version of Tui. BTW, Jake Locker would have been magnificent in it. In that regard, Sark was an an even bigger idiot for not going to it when Jake was around.
The main reason it works in college is the fact that inventory turnover is built into the system; everyone is basically gone in 3-5 years anyway. Protecting players doesn't matter to the factory schools with depth. If someone goes down, it's "next man in". In that way it's similar to the military. Players in HS are the equivalent to the draft in the military; the ready supply of replacements. Generals don't care about casualties terribly much, if there is a ready supply of replacements, (when there's a draft). Casualties are part of football as with war. Chip, at Oregon, planned for them just like Generals do. Sark is way too sentimental in this area. If you don't have depth, (like the Israeli Army), you really care about survivability. If you're Red China, you REALLY don't care. The US used to be more like China when we had the draft, but now is more like Israel. Oregon is getting like Red China. Washington is Oregon VERY LITE this year.
Looking at it a slightly different way, body armor in the military is expensive and was available long before the USA used it. They didn't get serious about it until there wasn't a draft anymore. Same with football. If you have a supply of something, like we do QB's right now, you shouldn't worry about injuring your starting QB too much. Sark is an idiot in that regard. It's because Sark was a QB. That's why he doesn't run the read/option and instead works Sankey to death. Sark favors KP over everyone else, and I'm sure the team has figured it out and silently resents it. Sark sees himself in KP, an accurate pocket passer that would be fantastic with an All-Pro OL. Sark wants to get him to the NFL. Why does he care? Doctors can fix almost everything these days. Look at Peyton Manning. Plus, football players accept the fact that injuries happen. They don't like it when the coach is overly protective of one player over another. They think, why is he KP so special while Sankey puts it on the line every play?
I think I agree with you regarding Chip not making it in the NFL. If he can find enough QB's to run the system, he'll make it. If not, he won't. His system also will eventually have an effect on the other positions. This will cause more "inventory turnover". Teams that turn their inventory over faster are the losing teams in the NFL. Can he replenish through free agency? Time will tell, but the salary cap will cause him headaches. THE NFL=ISRAEL.
I don't think Chip has an affinity to Oregon. He'll go to the highest bidder. Will we get him? It depends who is in the market when he comes out of the NFL. I would take him in a heartbeat. Who knows better how to beat Oregon than Chip? Plus, Phil Knight would have a heart attack if it happened.
Once the show cause is over, I'd take him in a nanosecond.
But I dislike the Huskies sucking far worse than I dislike either of them...
Therefore my answer is YES
If he wants to stay in the closet that's fine. But I'm sure Seattle's gay community would be ecstatic if he wants to come out.
Could be a real win-win for Seattle
