USC Coach Search: Chip Kelly Is Not the Answer

The hunt is on for a new USC coach after firing Steve Sarkisian. One name that seems to keep surfacing, whether it’s the hope of northeast media or pure speculation, is Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly.

Clay Helton currently leads the Trojans on an interim basis, but it’s unknown how interested the administration would be in keeping Helton on or completely wiping the slate clean at the end of the season.

Should the Eagles organization make Kelly available, certainly the USC job would make sense for Chip. It would, however, not make sense for USC.

Kelly, whom many have called a genius for his innovative up-tempo spread offense, has somewhat let his accolades go to his head.
