What is the reaction on the OSU boards to the O'Brien and Kelly news?

I think the bloom has been off the Kelly rose for a long time. What do Buckeye fans think?

I see and hear enough griping on these boards, I don’t need to hear other fans complaining!😂
From what I saw this morning, when they were just speculating, it looked like Kelly had the most ardent supporters, AND the most ardent detractors, among all those mentioned(11 warriors). I haven’t looked at it again since the apparent decision came down.

I know Franklin is laughing at T™️osu, but that’s nothing new.

Why would Kelly leave a HC job at UCLA to be an asst @ OSU? I think he was making 6-7 million as a HC. He gets no buyout by leaving for another job
maybe his seat was hot
Definitely a hot seat. Chip has made more than enough money and he has no wife or kids. I think he just wants to coach football in a favorable environment and doesn't care about money. JMO.
He was ahead of his time 15 years ago, but I think we saw with the Eagles that we was never able to evolve further offensively.

it is a strange move. Also, isn't this a "co-OC" with Brian Hartline. The media is calling it an OC role. Is Hartline gone? If it is "co-OC", why do you need two people?

There is a UNH connection as well. Both him and Day were at University of New Hampshire

His wife, if he had one, would have told him to stay at UCLA, screw-up, get canned, and get a 20-30 million dollar buyout.

Chip Kelly is a loser.

OSU making moves all over trying to be king of the steaming pile of **** that was formerly college football.

I have seen mention of the boat rower from Minny to UCLA.
Seems like he had the chance to bail when they had that big season a couple of years ago. I think he likes it here. Low expectations. Just beat Iowa and Wisconsin.

Here is who I think would be a perfect fit for UCLA as their Head Football Coach.

He'd probably love the opportunity to parlay the UCLA job into the FSU job into the Cowboys job as fast as possible.

From a comment I heard on Boomer and Gio yesterday, UCLA won't/can't give NIL money (or enough) to Football.
