Chip Kelly is gearing up for a significant return to Southern California as Ohio State's offensive coordinator, facing Oregon in the Rose Bowl in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup. Kelly, who previously coached UCLA, is excited to reunite with the sun after his time in Columbus. During his tenure at UCLA, Kelly led the team to a 35-34 record, with his final three seasons showing promise with a 25-13 record. Despite a successful 8-5 season last year, UCLA seemed to hit a plateau under Kelly's leadership.
After realizing his passion for coaching quarterbacks, Kelly decided to step down as UCLA's head coach and join Ohio State as offensive coordinator. Under his guidance, Ohio State's offense has excelled, ranking 11th in scoring with an average of 36 points per game and 32nd in total offense with 427.3 yards per game.
