It had been rumored, based upon (give or take) equals parts dogged reporting and wild speculation, that Chip Kelly was being considered as the next offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons (because Kyle Shanahan, the guy who apparently forgot he was allowed to run the ball to protect what should have been an unblowable lead in the Super Bowl, is going to the 49ers to be their head coach, replacing Kelly). Got all that?
Now, though, comes word that Kelly will not replace Shanahan. Instead, it will be Steve Sarkisian, who finished up the most recent college season calling plays in the championship game for Alabama.
