After winning back-to-back Pac-10 Championships, Chip Kelly is quickly becoming one of the best NCAA football coaches while building a dynasty at Oregon.
In just his second year as head coach, Kelly already has two conference championships and is one win away from Oregon’s first ever National Championship.
Kelly is the only coach in the history of the Pac-10 to win the conference championship outright in his first year and is currently 17-1 in Pac-10 games.
He has more conference championships (2) than he has conference losses (1) and deserves to win the coach of the year award.
The offensive mastermind has shown everyone on the west coast that he can score on and beat almost any defensive scheme, but critics will not silence unless he beats Auburn.
Kelly has accomplished a lot in two short years as the Oregon head coach, but a win against an SEC team in the National Championship would go a long way towards cementing his legacy.
People in the south seem to believe that the SEC is just as good as the NFL, and a win for Oregon would be huge not only for Chip Kelly and the Ducks, but for the Pac-10 as well.
