WHy Chip Kelly bolted UCLA & Why Alabama delayed Ryan Grubb’s departure to Seahawks

Chip Kelly is leaving UCLA, but not the Big Ten, as he’s expected to make the move to Ohio State to become the Buckeyes offensive coordinator. He’ll go work for his protege, Ryan Day, as OSU works to try to reclaim the Big Ten.

Kelly leaves Westwood after going 35-34 in six seasons. It was a rough start for the former Oregon coach who won big with the Ducks but struggled getting UCLA turned around. He did lead the Bruins to a 9-4 record and finished the season ranked No. 21 in 2022, and they won eight games last season and whipped archrival USC, but things had become an uphill battle for him and the program on the recruiting front in the name, image and likeness era.

It had become a pretty bad marriage.

Chip Kelly led UCLA to one of the program’s most successful runs in recent memory. So why is Kelly leaving? Here’s a dive into the many issues facing Kelly and UCLA athletics.
