Vince from ShamWOW Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Bellotti stepping down as Oregon football coach Associated Press Updated: March 13, 2009, 2:48 PM EST 3 comments EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Mike Bellotti is stepping down as Oregon's football coach to become the school's athletic director, and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly will be promoted to head coach. Bellotti takes over his new position on July 1, replacing athletic director Pat Kilkenny. Kelly becomes head coach on March 30, the opening day of spring practice. The moves first were announced in December, but no timetable was set for the transition. Bellotti will serve in the interim as senior counselor to Kilkenny, who will step down June 30.

Very clever of you tying it to a former Husker with the subject line and posting it in a different section. Quote Link to comment

huskerguy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Its all good.. How would you like to be a senior who has signed your LOI and now have a new coach to deal with. Im sure they aren't shocked... Kelly was the coach in waiting, and most kids pry knew he would take over in their time there. and this will help Scott Frosts career... Kelly was a lot of the reason that Frost even got a chance there. Quote Link to comment
