Kelly has demonstrated offensive potency in abundance throughout his time in Los Angeles, which is evidently what teams interested in his services are looking for. He offers excellent value and clever offensive playmaking to get an NFL club closer to the Super Bowl now that he’s trying to make a comeback.
Kelly isn’t given up on his chance to become an NFL coach, according to Andrew McCarty of The Spun, even if the offensive coordinators of the Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders have both chosen to go elsewhere:
Kelly was apparently considered by the Washington Commanders for their offensive coordinator openings and had an interview with the Las Vegas Raiders. In the end, the Commanders picked former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, while Las Vegas hired former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
Even though neither team hired him, another team entered the running this week. Kelly allegedly went to Seattle late on Tuesday night to interview for the position of offensive coordinator.
“Tonight, Oregon head coach Chip Kelly will have an interview with the Seattle Seahawks to become their offensive coordinator. For the majority of this cycle, Chip has attracted a lot of NFL interest, and the Seahawks have reportedly been considering his scheme, according to Benjamin Solak of The Ringer.
The Seattle Seahawks’ desire to add Chip Kelly to their team makes sense. Although he is a new addition to the team, Mike Macdonald is an expert in designing strategies that choke the life out of top NFL defenders. In order to win a football game, you must score more points than your opponent, and Kelly can deliver that explosiveness.
He has had winning seasons in four of his six seasons with the UCLA Bruins, and he could have had more if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t affected his performance. His teams have consistently been competitive against some of the top programs in the nation thanks to the entertaining offense he has developed.
