In order to understand why Jared Goff, the former Cal signal caller, presents the best fit for San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly’s system, you must first understand the core principles of the offensive scheme itself.
San Francisco 49ers
Kelly’s offense is based on a system that the 49ers and their fans are very familiar with and is affectionately referred to as the West Coast offense.
Pioneered by the storied, three-time Super Bowl winning and former 49ers head coach Bill Walsh, the West Coast offense focuses on quick, short passes that seek to open up a defense, further exposing it to longer runs and passes.
