Chip Kelly Joins Raiders as Offensive Coordinator

Chip Kelly is returning to the NFL as the offensive coordinator for the Las Vegas Raiders under new head coach Pete Carroll, after seven years in college football, most recently helping Ohio State win a national championship. This marks Kelly's first time in an NFL coordinator role, having previously served as head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers. Kelly's innovative offensive strategies, demonstrated during his successful tenure at Oregon and UCLA, are seen as a promising addition to the Raiders, who finished last in their division last season. His departure from Ohio State comes as the team also loses its defensive coordinator, Jim Knowles, to Penn State. Kelly's NFL record includes a brief but notable period when he led the Eagles to the playoffs before facing setbacks that led to his dismissal. The Raiders are expected to adjust their quarterback situation to align with Kelly's offensive vision.
