"Northwestern is hiring veteran coach Chip Kelly as its new offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Tuesday."
"Kelly is a two-time college coach, with Oregon and UCLA, and NFL head coach, with Philadelphia and San Francisco, who brings an expertise in varying systems and personnel."
"Kelly won a national title as the offensive coordinator at Ohio State in 2024. He worked as New Hampshire's OC (1999-2006) and Oregon's OC (2007-08), and has an extensive history as a play-caller as both a coordinator and head coach. He's in both tempo and deliberate offenses."

He has extensive play-calling experience across tempo and deliberate offenses. Northwestern finished 15th in the Big Ten in scoring (22.5 PPG) and Kelly will replace coordinator Zach Lujan, whose contract expires soon.
