Chip Kelly once led the Oregon Ducks to the National Championship Game. The Ducks would lose a close game to the Auburn Tigers led by Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton. Kelly led the Ducks to several BCS bowl games as well. Chip Kelly bolted for the NFL following the 2012 season. His assistant Mark Helfrich took over the head coaching duties in Eugene, Oregon. The Oregon Ducks have not missed a beat, in fact Kelly recruit Marcus Mariota won the Heisman in December. Oregon knocked off defending champions Florida State in the Rose Bowl. Excuse me Oregon stepped on the gas and blew FSU out of Pasenda. Oregon now will take on Ohio State at Cowboys Stadium, to decide the 1st College Football Playoff title. Chip Kelly is rumored to be in Arlington, Texas at the game. Kelly is 20-12 in 2 NFL seasons including this past season where Philadelphia started of 9-3 however didn't make the playoffs after 1-3 December. Back in Philadelphia some wonder if Kelly wished he was still in Oregon, his recruits, his players, his system and his scheme. Mark Helfrich has a chance to bring Oregon it's 1st National Championship in football with a win against the Buckeyes. Will quarterback Marcus Mariota and Chip Kelly reunite in the National Football League ? Only time will tell.
