Video: Start to finish, Chip Kelly had a very good Saturday

By Matt Hinton

Every will remember for years how Chip Kelly's Halloween night ended, with his offense running circles around the might Trojans in historic fashion. But remember how Kelly began his day, too, on national television at dawn in a pre-game stunt that would have made Woody Hayes or Bear Bryant's disciplined blood curdle:

I'm not sure that it's possible to "out-loose" Pete Carroll, the most aggressively fun-loving coach on earth, and I certainly don't know that it matters at all when the ball is snapped. But remember that Kelly is also the guy who personally reimbursed a fan for $439 in travel and ticket fees for the Ducks' season-opening flop at Boise State, and brace yourself for a fun ride with the latest addition to the Carroll/Leach school of coaching by your own rules.

    If you're an 18-year-old recruit, would you rather play for somebody like Kelly or Carroll or a humorless robot like Nick Saban? I'm going to Oregon or SC in a heartbeat.

    As a Cal fan that is jealous that Oregon got to be the one to upend USC, I must admit, that was pretty awesome.

    even if the ducks were 8-0 right now and remained unbeaten till the end of reagular season....it really wouldn't matter the bcs already has majority of its picks from the midwest and east coast conferences in the top bowl games....utah state was 12-0 last year and didn't get consideration because of it's "small conference"..and yet okalhoma loses and still get put in championship bowl game over texas.....pac10,wac,mountain west really need to consider combining conferences to combat the "good ole boy network" of bcs standings.....tradition, certain conferences shouldn't be a deciding factor in who gets get put in bcs rankings....win-loss should be...not some bogus "coaches" poll....the ducks steamrolled over usc last sat, that joke of a game with boise state is well behind them and are playing pissed off because of that!....apparently best ducks are going to get is probably the rose bowl...texas, florida or alabama are locked in for championship bowl game?....up unitl dennis dixon injury last season they were on their way to a big bowl game..possibly championship one...usc slide in and took rose bowl and pac10 title..this year the ducks looked posed to do just that.....

    Coach of the Year is right. This guy stepped in as a rookie coach, EMBARRASSED on NATIONAL TV for the first game in front of all to see, YouTube Nation saw the Blunt Punch, all the turmoil, and this guy gradually gets them back into the mix. The offense was obviously in the crapper in that first game, now they're humming. This Coach is for real. I don't know how you do that, man.
