Report: Chip Kelly finalizing deal to be Tampa Bay Buccaneers' next head coach

UPDATE: Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times confirms that the Bucs and Chip Kelly are finalizing a deal. It's not done, but they're close.

According to Michael Berk of KGW, a Portland-based news channel, Chip Kelly is close to signing a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be their next head coach. Chip Kelly is currently the head coach of the Oregon Ducks, and is best-known for introducing a high-tempo, innovative offense that has brought him a 34-6 record, a 2011 National Championship Game loss and a Rose Bowl win.

Chip Kelly has spent his entire coaching career in college, and has been a football coach since 1990. Kelly has not been linked with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before, and his hiring would come as a surprise after the Bucs have spent most of the past weeks interviewing former NFL head coaches and current NFL coordinators, with no college coaches reportedly being on the radar. This would fit their historical pattern: every hire under the Glazer ownership has been a shocking one.

This would also be an intriguing hire, however. Could Chip Kelly bring his up-tempo, spread offense to the NFL with success? To what extent would he adjust to the NFL? And how would he assemble a quality coaching staff?

If this report is confirmed, things are about to get very interesting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

wasn't that the sentiment

Washington fans had when they hired Steve Spurrier? Oh well, thanks for not hiring Zimmer!!!

personally

I don’t want to see Marvin fired, I want him to be promoted to G.M. while handing the reigns over to Zimmer as head coach and hiring Jack Del Rio as Defensive Coordinator. Who Dey!!!

this could be interesting

i live on the west coast and am very familiar with pac-16 football. oregon doesn’t always get the best recruits in the conference, this is a good thing imo, because it generally means kelly is getting guys in there and coaching them up, and they win, so it points to him being a good coach. it’s easy to win at usc in the pac-16, everyone wants to go there. i’m intrigued to see what happens here. i’ll reserve opinion for now, this could be an all time great move or a huge bust by the bucs.
it’s not a foregone conclusion that kelly will run the same type of o in the nfl that they run oregon, but i would love to see if it works at the pro level. the pats run a similar style offense that the hoodie basically adapted after spending some time with urb at uf. it’s not as face paced at new england and oregon actually runs the ball…….a lot. but it’s similar in that they spread the field.

Very interested to see who he brings in as OC and DC.

HC is a big job, but a lot depends on the quality of the coordinators he (or any HC) brings in. He’d be wise to back up his talent with strength and experience on both sides, particularly defense.

I think almost every other potential hire is average or slightly better with no real pop to them.

Kelly has some name recognition, but I don’t even want to try and project how he would do at the NFL level. History says it will be tough, but who knows? Not fair to judge him based on others failures.

Think that if it’s him, or anyone for that matter, they have to back themselves up with strong coordinators. Can’t do it on your own. HC is not a detailed role most times, it’s delegation.

Didn’t see that one coming. I always liked him best amongst the college coach options. On the balance, I’m really enthusiastic about what this says about Dom and the Glaziers’ mindset moving forward.

Two thoughts are 1) expect everyone and their brother to mock LaMichael James to us now (in the 2nd or 3rd, depending on combines- probably 3rd- this is a good thing in my mind) and 2) the next big question is who does he get to run his defense.

Matt Forte is on the field on third down, so that's a pretty horrible comparison

is he on the field EVERY 3rd down? no he is not. second maybe i cant read putupyourdukes mind on what is his definition of “full time”. i just explained what my definition was. a player that plays the majority of the snaps at his position. and nfl teams have them because they are the best players at their position. and its important because you want your best players on the field…. my goodness i cant believe im answering this.

Your arguments are circular and way too simplistic

And they ignore simple facts. Facts like most NFL teams do not, in fact, have running backs that take the vast majority of snaps.

Most teams have a running back who is in on first and second down, one who’s in on third down, and then backups who rotate in and out occasionally. That’s not a lot of snaps per game for the primary guy compared to other positions. Which is part of the reason why running back is not worth a high draft pick. Other reasons include injury-proneness, short shelf life and ease of finding a replacement.

Try not getting so personal

Full-time is not the same as starter. Legarrette Blount was the starter in Tampa Bay. Was he a full-time running back? The Saints have Sproles, Ingram, Thomas and Ivory share the load. The Panthers have Williams and Stewart. The Falcons do have a nearly full-time starter in Turner, although he too often comes out on third downs.

And that’s just in the Bucs’ very own divisions. Most teams do not, in fact, have a full-time running back.

full time is different for each position.

but if you play for majority of thee game at your position you are a full time starter. PERIOD

Again with the ridiculous extreme statements

It’s not either/or, man. It’s not black and white. Not drafting Richardson doesn’t mean you can’t run the ball, it also doesn’t mean you can’t get a running back later on for a lower investment.

No, it doesn't

But it’s a more sensible investment than Richardson in the top 5. And just drafting him is no guarantee for a fixed running game, either.

not in mines.

once again i must explain myself so you can uderstand. i analyze the current roster and the approach the team will take on offense and defense and assess the needs to improve in FA and in the draft. i also look at the possibility that Claiborne may not be available to us. If this plays out Richardson is the best possible choice. Now if we dont get him and we get James i wont like it but ill accept it and hope that we pick up another running back in FA thats proven that can help just in case James or Blount cant get it done.

you have to put in perspective this.

we have alot of talent on the team. in my opinion this team need a good coach and good coordinators, along with some veteran FA’s at CB, LB, and RB.

If the rumors are true and we have more interest in Richardson then Claibourne then so be it just make sure Finnegan and Grimes are in TB jerseys next year.

the rumors are not true

we havent even fully finalized the deal for kelly, I have serious doubts he wont have a huge say in who we draft.

As HC

I think they would like his input since him and Dominik have to work together, but say if we signed say a Matt Forte in FA then why would we draft Trent Richardson or if we signed both Finnegan and Grimes then why draft Claibourne. More than likely he will be our next HC though just need to work out the money I guess.

Kelly said in a interview a while back

That “he would not make his spread offense wholesale..he will take elements of the spread into the NFL”..I for one am excited about this..it kills the HC/OC bird with one stone..he also went on to say that he runs that offense because it fits their team best..I think he will do a great job making adjustments..only time will tell

Chip Kelly's draft...

1st – WR Justin Blackmon Oklahoma State
2nd – CB Janoris Jenkins Florida/North Alabama
3rd RB LaMicheal James Oregon
3rd – LB Nigel Bradham Florida State
(trade of a player like Black or other picks to get another 3rd round pick)

GO NOLES!!! SCALP EM!

by NOLEFAN1 on Jan 23, 2012 12:58 AM EST reply actions  

Black wouldn't net a 7th

let alone a 3rd. Basically we have no one expendable to acquire a third, Dominik brilliantly traded away our forth this year which turns out to be a premium fourth round pick for Luke freakin Stocker

Maybe Next Time

Morris had no head coaching experience at all. Kelly has HC experience but no NFL HC experience. Maybe next time we’ll get a real NFL HC.

Has any HC coming straight from college done really well in then NFL other than Jimmy Johnson? I can’ think of any.

He also was in the NFL as a QB coach for a couple of years

What positions does Kelly like to use at Oregon?

From a distant glance, it seems as though he favors RBs. What about TE, WR, FB, or what ever else there is?

Why is everyone acting crazy,

like if we get Kelly we will be scoring 70 points a game, this is the NFL not Pac 12.
Josh freeman has a lot to prove next year, lets not forget that teams scored 40 + on us
4 games this year

by mlowebucs on Jan 23, 2012 1:53 AM EST reply actions  

He may be an offensive guru, but,

I want too see who he brings in to run the D andwhat they do about it. Until we can slowdown opposing offenses, frankly the wins will still be elusive…..

Wow what a kick in the nuts

Please don’t turn this into Sherman. Dominik probably leaked it to the press prematurely just to try and pressure him into signing.

Oregon newspaper I'm guessing claims he's staying

http://www2.registerguard.com/cms/index.php/duck-football/comments/source-chip-kelly-changes-his-mind-will-stay-at-oregon/

This would basically flat out tell me how low the Buccaneer organization is. Fisher wouldn’t even interview (not that I wanted him, still though) and now Kelly (who always wanted to coach at the highest level) decides our job isn’t good enough. Dominik and the Glazers have destroyed this organization in the last three years. Might as well bring on the Shermanator and Childress so I can officially no longer support the team financially. My fantasy football league actually gives money back, dumping money in the Glazer’s pockets these last two years has been nothing but a waste.

I'm really losing faith fast. I was stunned about Kelly at first

and than the idea completely grew on me. I’m used to this disappointment as a Buc fan though. It’s so bad that teams like the Jags and Rams are looked at as more attractive coaching and football destinations. But hey, we’re just a bunch of inbred hicks here in Tampa. The Glazers will make money regardless and Dominik is the best GM in the league.

Can't afford to screw up this draft also Dominik.
Dominik draft blunders. Illustrates our pick whom Dominik decided was better than (>) in the same round.
2009 rd 2 Winslow (traded our pick to acquire and make leagues highest paid TE) > LeSean McCoy, rd 3 Roy Miller > Mike Wallace, LaDarius Webb, Jared Cook, rd 4 Kyle Moore > Johnie Knox, rd 5 Xavier Fulton > Jason McCourty
2010 rd 2 B Price, Arrelious Benn > Rob Gronkowski, Javier Arenas, Carlos Dunlap, Sean Lee, Ben Tate, Pat Angerer. rd 3 Myron Lewis > Emmanuel Sanders, Navorro Bowman, Jimmy Graham. rd 4 Mike Will (good pick) rd 5 No pick thanks to Winslow trade, rd 6 Brent Bowden > Antonio Brown. Not to mention 5 year 25-30 mil Michael Clayton, 4 year 17 mil Derek Ward.
