Open question to all Oregon fans...

Not a flame, just a simple question. What, in your opinion, has Chip Kelly done to make him a great coach? He's had 1 decent season and 1 good season and he has lost both bowl games. Not exactly indicative of greatness. I'll hang up and listen.

His record in his first two years as a head coach (with less than super-elite talent) speaks for itself.
If it makes you feel better to think he's just average -- well, do what you gotta do.

As far as Oregon is concerned, he is a great coach. Taken Oregon to places they've never been before.
But yeah, 2 seasons at Oregon isn't exactly going to punch his ticket to the Hall of Fame.
Little premature to declare him great on a national level. But he is the biggest thing to ever happen to college football in the state of Oregon.

I disagree, saying "Not exactly indicative of greatness" is a flame.
How many coaches do you know have won 2 conference titles and made it into 2 BCS bowls including the National championship in their first two seasons? I can tell you in the PAC 10 there has never been a first year coach to even win the conference their first year. Also if you look at the talent he has from scouts perspective it's even more impressive.

He has the best talent money can buy.

Yeah, but I wish we could have afforded Petersen.

Also, his accomplishments are during a period when USC was on their way down.

You are not doing Beaver fans any favors dude.
Just stop.

I imagine there could be other factors involved like other teams in the PAC getting better.

He is very creative on offense and keeps the defense tired and on their toes. He assembled a great overall team and has built a strong program in just two seasons... two BCS bowl games in a row and an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game.
"Greatness" is a subjective term. Is he on the elite level of college coaches? I would say no... not right now. But if he remains consistent, he will be very soon.

Fixed that for you.

How is any season you win the conference championship in a AQ conference just "decent". Kelly has done more with less. Not that Oregon has not had decent recruits but Kelly is working with mostly 3 and some 4 star recruits. This year will be the first year we really see any 5 star recruits play.
Kelly has done enough that Florida came calling when their spot opened up. As far as what makes him a great coach is the fact that he is innovative. I think anyone would respect Jon Gruden's opinion and he thinks very highly of him, to the point he almost took a job with the U of O to learn their offense but his wife objected to moving.
Kelly has pushed the tempo and teams have not found a way to stop him consistently. And not only is he putting up record numbers he's doing while only having the ball about 20 mins a game and has fielded a defense who is one of the tops in the country in yards per play while playing 40 mins a game.

I'm no Oregon fan but he sure seems to get a lot out of his players and they sure seem to execute well.
He looks like a great coach to me. There is no shame in losing to last year's Auburn team.
