Let's face it. AZduck is just jelly that the he's not a bruin and Ballsacked is just better at life.
Actually, this thread just revealed a bunch of middle aged men shitting their pants at the mere Mention of a duck fantasy involving chip returning to Oregin.
For one thing, it would virtually guarantee the annual butt fucking of Washington streak exceed 20 years.
Looks like the NFL wasn't all that for Chip Kelly.
Of late Ive been hearing rumors of a very unusual arrangement that was put into place between Kelly, Helfrich, and the Oregon AD after Kelly's initial flirtation with Tampa Bay. In that arrangement - it was understood that Kelly was going to be the subject of an NCAA show-cause once sanctions were announced. So, the expectation was that Kelly would leave for the League prior to sanctions being announced. He would coach there for as long as he wanted. If Kelly wanted to come back to Oregon within 5 years, the Oregon AD and Phil Knight were prepared to keep him as the highest-paid coach in the Pac-12 and one of the top 5 in CFB. Helfrich is locked in as the extended-term interim for as long as Kelly stays in the NFL and upon Kelly's return stays as the OC - at whatever salary he was earning as HC, plus annual increases, for as long as Kelly stays at Oregon.
Kelly likes Oregon's attitude toward winning and, compared to other high-profile programs, minimal donor interaction. Also, Helfrich was and is the key recruiter on the staff (Chip hates recruiting).
Is there any basis to this? I don't know. This is one step better than rank gossip - but what the hell - I'll take it.

And yes, there are so many things right about that picture ... looking out at the distance has rarely looked so good.
