[RTR91]

McMurphy just tweeted:

Former Eagles coach Chip Kelly visited w/Alabama staff earlier this week in Tuscaloosa

This was being mentioned on various sites yesterday.

​Probably going to be our OC when Lane takes the Tampa Bay Bucs HC job.

 

[Jessica4Bama]

Maybe something to do with the HUNH?

 

[mrusso]

Saban to Texas?

 

[Harmost]

What could we, Bama, keepers of all things non-gimmick, opposers of gimmickry and all gimmickers, last bastion of gimmickless purity, have to talk about with that gimmick-monger Chip Kelly?

I mean, his qbs don't even line up under center!

 

[TideWatcher]

Kind of coach you wouldn't want here or at Auburn

 

[Redstripe]

Saint Nick just covering all the bases.

Are any of CK's previous staffers on the Clemson staff? Only reason I could think of.

Insight.

Who better to give insight on the best way to defend that type of offense?

THIS. Coach Saban is covering all bases, as usual.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Can he coach ILBs?

I don't disagree, but less than a week before the game is kinda last minute, no ?

Hey....with Coach Saban in charge, and if Kiffin leaves.....I would have NO problem if Kelly ran our offense....and WOW, can you imagine the meltdown in the media.

Not necessarily if it's down to smaller details and maybe some minor corrections/insertions into the defensive game plan.

 

[Marg]

it is strange timing. very good idea to pick the brain of someone well-versed in that type of offense (met with tOSU OC after last season, too) in trying to make adjustments to the defense. however, seems pretty last minute to do so this close to a game if specific for the championship, though. if just an overview for future implementation, i would have thought it would happen after the season was over.

 

[Harmost]

Insight.

Consorting with the enemy? Don't say it, friend! Besides, we, the members of TF, have already amply proven that Kelly's brand of gimmickry has already been defeated. Rooted out like so many ephemeral terrors before it. More annoyance than pestilence and delt with accordingly and swiftly. The only question that remains now is this: who will pen the story of the gimmick's demise?

Oh, and also there's the question of why we met with Kelly.

Same reason Saban meets with so many coaches before big games. We once had bob Stoops come in before a Natty. This is pretty common.

 

[RTR91]

I do wonder if Kelly was meeting with Kirby or Lane, though.

 

[TiderJack]

With 10 days between games last minute was going to happen.

RTR91 makes a good point. Was he meeting with Kirby or Lane. I would think Kirby but.....
