Kalani Sitake is staying with Brigham Young:
Cross Sitake off the list.
You know who is still available? Charles Edward “Chip” Kelly, who was fired by the Raiders a few weeks ago. That’s less than a year after he won a natty with THE Ohio State University Buckeyes as offensive coordinator and QB coach.
Prior to that, he barely broke .500 at UCLA and bombed with the San Francisco 49ers, but he had two ten-win seasons in Philadelphia before trading half the team away for no reason whatsoever. Before Philly, he went 46-7 with the Oregon Ducks while going all the way to the 2010 national title game and losing out to a Heisman Trophy winner named Cam Newton.
So hear me out – Penn State head coach Chip Kelly. The guy alternates between good gig and crappy gig, and his next one will be a good one. I think you lure D Jax and Michael Vick away from 8-4 Delaware State and 1-11 Norfolk State and get the band back together with a staff that looks like this:
Chip Kelly: head coach
Duuuuuuuuce Staley: assistant head coach
DeSean Jaccson: offensive coordinator
Kiko Alonso: defensive coordinator
Jon Dorenbos: special teams
Michael Vick: QB coach
Shady McCoy: running backs
Danny Watkins: offensive line and fire safety
Sammy “Sleeves” Bradford: offensive quality control
Riley Cooper: diversity, equity, and inclusion
Brent Celek: tight ends
Marcus Smith: linebackers or EDGE, whatever he was supposed to be
Beau “The Butter King” Allen: defensive line
Byron Maxwell: defensive backs
Jason Babin: wide-9 coach / general douchebaggery
Nelson “Aguilar” – receivers
Josh Huff: NCAA compliance officer
“Big Dom” DiSandro: strength and conditioning
Eliot Shorr-Parks: VP of Football Communications
What could possibly go wrong? WE ARE!
