Interestingly enough the Jaguars interviewed Chip for their HC vacancy. So now there is speculation he could become their OC.  profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/01/15/report-jaguars-interviewed-chip-kelly/

At this point the Jaguars are willing to try anything. They haven't been relevant since their last playoff berth in 2007 and even worse since they got rid of QB David Garrard. 

Probably Chip's last stand in the NFL if he gets the job. I doubt he'll be an NFL head coach again.

I think he'll be a HC again. Especially if he ends up being a good NFL OC. With the Jags I wonder what would have happened had they traded for Tebow and not had Gabbert where that franchise would be.

Chip is now interviewing for the Jags OC position. www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000775216/article/jaguars-to-interview-chip-kelly-for-oc-position Apparently, Coughlin views him highly so I can see him getting the job. He would most certainly spice up the Jags offense.

Well Chip didn't get the Jags OC job. He has been thrown out for other jobs including the Falcons but the most interesting I've seen is this excerpt from Walter Football. 


The Houston Texans mutually parted ways with offensive coordinator George Godsey after their playoff loss to the Patriots, and afterward, they announced that head coach Bill O'Brien would basically run the offense without hiring a new coordinator. However, sources say there is a name to keep an eye on as joining the Texans staff as an offensive assistant, and that is none other than Chip Kelly. The pro-style offense of O'Brien seems like an odd fit for Kelly and his college spread system, but Kelly and O'Brien are close friends with a lot of mutual respect for each other's football knowledge.

The other advantage to having Kelly on staff would be if the Texans drafted a quarterback like Clemson's Deshaun Watson or Texas Tech's Pat Mahomes II. Both of them are coming from spread college passing attacks, and Kelly could help them make the jump to a NFL system. Kelly has other potential landing spots like New England, but keep an eye on Kelly possibly landing in Houston.



I hope that Chip comes to the Texans as I think it would be awesome if we got someone like Mahomes. Also Osweiler and Savage play best in an up-tempo offense so if Chip could bring that to some capacity to Houston that would be an awesome thing.
