Chip Kelly left his head-coaching job at UCLA to become Ohio State’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, a rare instance where a head coach left to take an assistant position on his own accord.
Kelly was set to enter his seventh season leading the Bruins, but instead chose to join Ryan Day’s staff for next season.
On Tuesday, Kelly explained what went into his decision to join the Buckeyes, and it began when former UCLA quarterbacks coach Ryan Gunderson left the Bruins program before the team’s bowl game vs. Boise State.
