Kelly departed the Bruins to join the Ohio State Buckeyes as their offensive coordinator.

The big story of the offseason for the UCLA Bruins football team has been the change in the head coaching position. Chip Kelly is out as the head coach after he elected to head to Columbus to take on the role of the offensive coordinator for Ohio State.

Former Bruins player DeShaun Foster now takes up the main role for the Bruins, and the program couldn’t be more excited. While Foster provides new energy, there is a level of suspicion that surrounds him due to his inexperience as a leading man.

Kelly was a veteran in the head coaching ranks, but he undoubtedly felt it was boring being at UCLA. However, despite his lack of success with the Bruins, Kelly did came in ranked first in a ranking of whose new coordinator appointment would have the most impact on next season.

Kelly may have underperformed with the Bruins, but he still knows the game of football well. He has been considered as a good offensive thinker throughout his career, and the Buckeyes offense should be lot smoother with him directing the show.

The seasoned coach also will have a little less burden on him since the errors of the squad would rest on Ryan Day instead of himself. All Kelly needs to do is make sure the offense is working smoothly, and the rest will take care of itself.

It’s best that Kelly and the Bruins split up. It was time. But the Bruins are left with a feeling of how they could have done things differently over the last few seasons now.
