Chip Kelly Immediately Linked to Sudden Big Ten HC Job Opening

Northwestern Wildcats offensive coordinator Chip Kelly's name has been brought up in connection to a Big Ten HC job opening.

Chip Kelly, the offensive coordinator of the Northwestern Wildcats, is being considered as a potential candidate to replace fired Maryland Terrapins head coach Ted Monachino. Maryland's decision to fire Locksley came just days after they sacked co-defensive coordinator Aazaar Abdul-Rahim, following a five-game losing streak. Northwestern, currently ranked No. 43 in total offense in college football, is 5-1 under fourth-year head coach David Braun.

Kelly, 62, has an impressive football career, including a national championship as Ohio State's offensive coordinator in 2024 and a 46-7 record with Oregon from 2009 to 2012.
