I suspect he'll ultimately leave for the NFL, so I just hope they hire someone to carry on with what he's established.
 
Outside of the Patriots, no other NFL team puts team first, super egos second, the way Chip needs it done to be effective at that level! Chip would be a fool to leave Autzen before he's won a few national championships!
 
If I was in Chip's shoes, i would never go the NFL. After watching other successful college coaches, I think he's better off staying. He can make a ton of money, he has all the power, and he can win. It didn't work for Spurrier, it didn't work for Saban, or Dennis Erickson. There are so few success stories of big name college coaches going to the pros.
 
I agree. He has a great salary, is deeply respected, kids leave just when he starts getting sick of them, he calls the shots as opposed to the agents... Why leave?
 
Because it's the NFL. Guys want to try and prove they belong in the best leagues.

I think Chip will succeed in the NFL. Even if he doesn't, he has a head coaching gig wherever he wants in the NCAA waiting for him.

Well, we understand WHY he would leave, but I personally wouldn't do it if I was in his shoes. Coach K has it right with Duke. The guy is a god, he has a huge contract, and he has all the power. The players don't control things, he does. If someone is a prick, he doesn't play them or he kicks them off the team. In the NBA, the roles are reversed. The coach has very little power, and the team will stand behind the guy who has a 80 million dollar guaranteed contract.
 
Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer were the only two coaches in 30 years to leave college and win a superbowl, Switzer won using Johnson's players at Dallas. Outside of those two, great college coaches have been a bust!!!!! Chip should never leave Autzen!

Yeah, I don't even think Jim Harbaugh counts as a college coach because of how long he was in the NFL and how short his college coaching career was.

Who cares about winning a Super Bowl when you're making $28m over 4 years? Chip would only be 53 at that point, and could be paid boatloads by another NCAA program if he fails in the NFL.
 
whats his salary at oregon? papag makes an obvious point that beyond anything else would be a smart money grab
