Yet another Chip Kelly source/rumor

[Dpantherman]

I think Rivera will be here, unless they find a better coach. I think if Kelly is available they'll jump

gimmick nothing.

it's a run heavy offense in which the running game (which forces the defense to have to choose between two possible runners instead of one) sets up the passing game and forces the defense to choose between trying to overload the box to stop the run game or protect themselves against play action, screens, bootlegs, or the triple option or any of a myriad of other plays taking advantage of the holes they leave open.

and they do this giving the defense no time to adjust, get set up, disguise what they are going to do, or make substitutions.

not sure where the gimmick is.

Kind of. But one being ran by someone intelligent.

Kelly runs what he does cuz it works. If it didn't then he wouldn't. So he'd make it work here, I believe.

Top 3 YPP Offenses in the NFL right now ?

Niners, Seattle, Panthers.

Read option is a big part of that.

It's not the devil we have made it out to be.

It just has to be balanced with under center plays as well.

Kelly isn't so fugtard stupid he would run it every play.

boner boner boner

but we don't even have a gm yet.

Key word: "rumor".

...but as others have said, of all the teams that may be seeking a new coach this year the Panthers are the most attractive, especially to an offense-minded coach.

I wouldn't mind Kelly, but it's a big risk IMO... I don't think he'd try to run a gimmick offense in the NFL, but since most of his success has come from running a gimmick offense it's hard to tell if he's got anything besides that?

Honestly, I would like to see us hire Arians if he's available.

he doesn't even do it all the time now. he just makes the defense think they are and forces them to focus their efforts to try and stop it, leaving themselves open to being exploited by lots of more traditional plays that are used frequently.

Kelly wouldn't run his college offense in the NFL. It would be more unique than any other offense in the league still, but he's a brilliant offensive mind and probably knows exactly what he needs to do to have the best offense in the NFL

Last risk we took was Cameron Newton. :sword:

Working out so far if you ask me. I wouldn't be worried about Chip, the guy can really coach and he would do wonders with Cam.

Not many people are concerned about Chip kelly transitioning to the NFL:

@vancespn: RE: Chip Kelly “@PriscoCBS: @vancespn He would adapt. Smart guy. Would play up-tempo, but different style. Will be fine.”

his "college offense" is already being run in the NFL.just mot as well or as completely as he runs it. and he runs a lot of traditional plays in his scheme. there's not a whole lot different between what he does and teams in the NFL are doing already.
