What if Chip Kelly had accepted the Bucs coaching job in January 2012?
Maybe Tampa Bay would have won a few more games. Maybe Marcus Mariota would be the quarterback, not Jameis Winston. Maybe Kelly would have tried to trade everyone, including Captain Fear.
All we know for sure is that the Bucs would have had to endure what has become an annual tradition: Chip-Kelly-is-going-back-to-college rumors.
With the 49ers off to a 1-5 start in his first season in San Francisco, Kelly's detractors are once again seizing the opportunity to ridicule him and suggest he doesn't belong in the NFL.
