He came to prominence as a [[college football]] head coach for the [[Oregon Ducks football|Oregon Ducks]] from [[2009 Oregon Ducks football team|2009]] to [[2012 Oregon Ducks football team|2012]], leading them to the [[2011 BCS National Championship Game]]. Kelly's success led to a stint in the [[National Football League]] (NFL), where he coached for four seasons, three with the [[Philadelphia Eagles]] ([[2013 Philadelphia Eagles season|2013]]–[[2015 Philadelphia Eagles season|2015]]) and one with the [[San Francisco 49ers]] ([[2016 San Francisco 49ers season|2016]]). After the NFL, Kelly returned to college in 2018 as the head coach of [[UCLA Bruins football|UCLA Bruins]], coaching for six seasons before leaving in 2024 to join Ohio State as their offensive coordinator.

==Early life and education==
Kelly was born in [[Dover, New Hampshire]]. He attended [[Manchester Central High School]], where he played [[ice hockey]] and [[basketball]].<ref name="Moseley">{{cite news |author=Rob Moseley |date=July 19, 2009 |title=A Beautiful Mind: Kelly's innovations led him on the path to Oregon |url=http://special.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/sports/17159053-41/story.csp |access-date=October 1, 2010 |newspaper=[[The Register-Guard]]}}</ref> Kelly earned his [[Bachelor of Science]] in [[physical education]] from the [[University of New Hampshire]] in 1990.<ref name="DucksBio" /> Kelly played quarterback at Manchester Central and defensive back at the [[New Hampshire Wildcats football|University of New Hampshire]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.philly.com/2013-01-25/sports/36550348_1_head-coach-chip-kelly-college-assistant-coach|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224113558/http://articles.philly.com/2013-01-25/sports/36550348_1_head-coach-chip-kelly-college-assistant-coach|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 24, 2013|title=Archives - Philly.com|work=philly.com|access-date=January 15, 2017}}</ref>

==Coaching career==

===Early coaching years===
Kelly broke into the coaching ranks in 1990 at [[Columbia University]], where he served as [[Defensive back|secondary]] and [[American football positions#Special teams|special teams]] coach for the freshman team. The next year, Kelly was outside linebackers and strong safeties coach for the varsity team. In 1992, he went to the [[University of New Hampshire]] as the [[Position coach|running backs coach]]. Kelly left to become the [[defensive coordinator]] at [[Johns Hopkins University]] for one season. He returned to his alma mater as the running backs coach for the next three seasons (1994–96). Kelly was just in time to devise a zone-blocking scheme for star [[Jerry Azumah]]. From 1995 through 1998, the speedy back raised the profile of UNH football as he rushed for what was then an FCS record 6,193 yards.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Siegel |first=Alan |date=September 24, 2013 |title=Perfecting the formula |url=https://www.sbnation.com/longform/2013/9/24/4761844/chip-kelly-philadelphia-eagles-offense-evolution-new-hampshire |access-date=January 15, 2017 |website=[[SB Nation]]}}</ref> Kelly changed to the [[offensive line]] coach for two seasons (1997–98).<ref name="DucksBio">{{cite web|title=Chip Kelly Biography|publisher=GoDucks.com|access-date=August 3, 2009|url=http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=803271|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080929141052/http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=803271|archive-date=September 29, 2008}}</ref>

Kelly was promoted to offensive coordinator at New Hampshire in 1999. The Wildcats' offenses averaged better than 400 yards per game of [[total offense]] in seven of his eight seasons.<ref name=Moseley/>
In 2004, the school broke 29 offensive school records; compiling 5,446 yards of total offense and scoring 40 or more points in seven games. Their best offensive output was in 2005 when the Wildcats finished second nationally in total offense (493.5 ypg), third in scoring (41.7 ppg), and fifth in passing (300.1 ypg). They finished the season with an 11–2 record.

Kelly was named the College Assistant Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston following the 2005 season in addition to being selected as "one of college football's hottest coaches" by American Football Monthly.<ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=803271 Chip Kelly – GoDucks.com – The University of Oregon Official Athletics Web Site<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080929141052/http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=803271 |date=September 29, 2008 }}</ref> In 2006, quarterback [[Ricky Santos]] won the [[Walter Payton Award]] under Kelly's guidance, after Santos finished second in balloting for the award in 2005.<ref name=autogenerated1 />

Kelly, along with [[Mississippi State Bulldogs football|Mississippi State Bulldogs]] head coach [[Dan Mullen]], former [[Winnipeg Blue Bombers]] offensive coordinator [[Gary Crowton]], and [[Ohio State Buckeyes football|Ohio State]] head coach [[Ryan Day (American football)|Ryan Day]], is part of the so-called "New Hampshire mafia" as they all have strong connections to New Hampshire.<ref>[http://blogs.registerguard.com/oregon-football/chow_gets_the_nod_over_kelly/ Chow gets the nod over Kelly] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20131020003939/http://blogs.registerguard.com/oregon-football/chow_gets_the_nod_over_kelly/ |date=October 20, 2013 }}</ref>

===Oregon (2007–2012)===
====Offensive coordinator====
Kelly was hired as offensive coordinator at Oregon in February 2007.<ref name=Fennell>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/21563656/chip-kelly-to-the-eagles-a-timeline-of-his-oregon-tenure |title=Chip Kelly to the Eagles: A timeline of his Oregon tenure |website=[[CBS Sports]] |date=January 16, 2013}}</ref> His potent [[spread offense]] attack was an instant success at Oregon.

In his first season as offensive coordinator at Oregon, the Ducks led the [[Pacific-10 Conference|Pac-10]] in scoring (38.15 ppg) and total offense (467.54 ypg), and also became the highest scoring team while amassing the most yards in the history of [[Oregon Ducks football|Oregon football]]. Prior to Kelly's arrival at Oregon, [[Dennis Dixon]] struggled in his first three seasons at quarterback. Under Kelly's guidance, Dixon was the [[Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year]] and emerged as a [[Heisman Trophy]] candidate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/sports/ncaafootball/04oregon.html|title=Dixon Makes Case for Heisman, Then Exits With an Injury|last=Evans|first=Thayer|date=November 4, 2007|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=February 20, 2017}}</ref>

In 2008, the Ducks once again led the Pac-10 in scoring (41.9 ppg) and total offense (484.8 ypg), while breaking the school record marks set the previous season.

====Head coach====
On March 31, 2009, Oregon announced head coach [[Mike Bellotti]] would be promoted to athletic director; consequently, Kelly would be promoted to head coach.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Bellotti steps down as Ducks coach|url= http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/ncaa/03/13/bellotti.ap/index.html|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090316080552/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/ncaa/03/13/bellotti.ap/index.html|url-status= dead|archive-date= March 16, 2009|magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]|date=March 13, 2009}}</ref>

Kelly coached the [[Oregon Ducks football|Oregon Ducks]] to BCS games in each of his four seasons as head coach: the [[2010 Rose Bowl]], [[2011 BCS National Championship Game]], [[2012 Rose Bowl]], and [[2013 Fiesta Bowl]]. Kelly coached Oregon to three consecutive outright conference championships from 2009 to 2011 and a conference division title in 2012. Oregon won its second consecutive BCS bowl game after they defeated #5 Kansas State in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl. What may be considered the most important part of Kelly's résumé at Oregon, however, is that he posted undefeated records against the Ducks most hated rivals, the [[Oregon State University|Oregon State]] [[Oregon State Beavers football|Beavers]] and the [[University of Washington|Washington]] [[Washington Huskies football|Huskies]], something never before achieved by an Oregon coach.

Kelly was named the 2009 and 2010 [[Pacific-10 Conference football awards#Coach of the Year|Pac-10 Coach of the Year]], 2010 [[Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year]], 2010 [[Walter Camp Coach of the Year Award|Walter Camp Coach of the Year]], 2010 [[Sporting News College Football Coach of the Year|Sporting News Coach of the Year]], 2010 [[AFCA Coach of the Year|AFCA Coach of the Year Award]], and 2010 [[Associated Press College Football Coach of the Year Award|Associated Press Coach of the Year]].

Kelly helped the [[2009 Oregon Ducks football team|Ducks]] gain national attention in [[2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season|2009]] after an upset of the then #5 [[USC Trojans football|USC Trojans]] on October 31.<ref>{{cite web|title=No. 10 Ducks hand No. 5 Trojans worst loss since '97|work=[[ESPN.com]]|access-date=October 31, 2009|date=October 31, 2009|url=http://espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=293042483|archive-url=https://archive.today/20091104185649/http://espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=293042483|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 4, 2009}}</ref> Kelly became the first Pac-10 coach to win an outright conference championship in his first season, sending the Ducks to the [[Rose Bowl Game|Rose Bowl]] for the first time since 1995. The Ducks hoped to win their first Rose Bowl since 1917, but lost a close game to Ohio State.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 2, 2010 |title=Ohio State defeats Oregon, 26-17, in Rose Bowl |url=https://abc7.com/archive/7197999/ |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=ABC7 Los Angeles |language=en}}</ref> On December 7, 2009, Kelly was named Pac-10 Coach of the year. He was the second Ducks coach to earn the honor, the other being [[Rich Brooks]] (two times).<ref>{{cite news|title=Another OSU Awaits|newspaper=The Register-Guard|access-date=December 7, 2009|date=December 5, 2009|url=http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/sports/24152579-41/story.csp}}</ref>[[File:Chip Kelly Smile.jpg|thumb|left|Kelly in 2010]]
Prior to the [[2010 Oregon Ducks football team|2010 season]], Kelly suspended [[Jeremiah Masoli]] for the season after the quarterback pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary charges, marking the second year in a row that a key player was suspended.<ref>[http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2010/03/oregon-suspends-quarterback-jeremiah-masoli-for-the-2010-season.html Oregon suspends quarterback Jeremiah Masoli for the 2010 season], ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', March 12, 2010</ref> Masoli was later dismissed from the team following an arrest for marijuana possession and several driving infractions.<ref name=dismiss>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/news/story?id=5268741|title=Quarterback Masoli dismissed|date=June 9, 2010|access-date=December 6, 2010|work=ESPN.com}}</ref> In early October, Kelly led the team to a #1 spot on the [[AP Poll|AP]], [[Harris Interactive College Football Poll|Harris]], and [[Coaches' Poll|USA Today Coaches Poll]], followed a few weeks later by a #1 BCS ranking.<ref>{{cite web|title=2010 NCAA Football Rankings – Week 8|access-date=October 17, 2010|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings/_/week/8}}</ref><ref>[https://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/11067 Oregon vaults over Auburn in BCS], ''ESPN'', October 31, 2010</ref> With a 37–20 win over the [[2010 Oregon State Beavers football team|Oregon State Beavers]] on December 4, 2010, Kelly led the Ducks to a 9–0 finish in conference play, winning their second consecutive outright Pac-10 title. With [[Darron Thomas]] at quarterback and [[Doak Walker Award]] winner [[LaMichael James]] at running back, the Ducks averaged 49.3 points and 537.5 yards per game in the regular season. In December, following an undefeated 12–0 season and an end-of-season #2 BCS ranking, Oregon was selected to play the #1 [[2010 Auburn Tigers football team|Auburn Tigers]] in the [[2011 BCS National Championship Game|BCS national championship game]] on January 10, 2011.<ref name="coy" /> The Tigers, out of the [[Southeastern Conference]], were coached by [[Gene Chizik]], and had the [[Heisman Trophy]] winner at [[quarterback]] in [[Cameron Newton|Cam Newton]]. The Ducks lost, 22–19, on a last-second, 19-yard field goal by Wes Byrum.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thamel |first=Pete |date=January 11, 2011 |title=Twists, Turns and One Roll Give Auburn the Title |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/11/sports/ncaafootball/11bcs.html |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=The New York Times |language=en-US}}</ref> It was the closest that a team from the [[Pacific Northwest]] has come to winning a share of the national championship since 1991. In recognition of his coaching achievements, Kelly received the [[Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year]] award, the [[Walter Camp Coach of the Year Award|Walter Camp Coach of the Year]] award and was named [[Pacific-10 Conference football awards#Coach of the Year|Pac-10 Coach of the Year]] for the second year running.<ref name="coy">{{cite news|url=http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/updates/25635111-46/coach-award-kelly-oregon-national.csp|title=Oregon football: Chip Kelly receives Robinson Award as coach of the year|last=Moseley|first=Rob|date=December 6, 2010|newspaper=The Register-Guard|access-date=December 6, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Pac-10 Football Awards and All-Conference Team Announced|access-date=December 7, 2010|date=December 7, 2010|publisher=[[Pac-10]]|url=http://www.pac-10.org/News/tabid/863/Article/217454/Pac-10-Football-Awards-And-All-Conference-Team-Announced.aspx?bg=/Portals/7/DigArticle/217454/STAN_Luck_Andrew_2010-web.jpg}}</ref> Kelly also won the [[Associated Press College Football Coach of the Year Award|AP Coach of the Year]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Oregon's Chip Kelly voted top coach |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/news/story?id=5943362 |agency=[[Associated Press]] | work=ESPN.com |date=December 21, 2010 |access-date=January 13, 2011}}</ref>

The 2011 season began with the [[2011 Oregon Ducks football team|#3 Ducks]] facing the [[2011 LSU Tigers football team|#4 LSU Tigers]] in the [[Advocare Classic|Cowboys Classic]] where they were defeated 40–27. Oregon won their next nine games, including a 53–30 blowout victory at [[2011 Stanford Cardinal football team|#3 Stanford]]. A consecutive trip back to the [[BCS National Championship Game|BCS Championship]] appeared to be a strong possibility, but they were defeated 38–35 by [[2011 USC Trojans football team|#18 USC]] when an Oregon field goal attempt failed as time expired. The Ducks won their third straight Pac-12 championship title after defeating [[2011 UCLA Bruins football team|UCLA]] in the inaugural [[Pac-12 Football Championship Game]]. They represented the Pac-12 in the [[2011 Rose Bowl|Rose Bowl]] and defeated [[2011 Wisconsin Badgers football team|#10 Wisconsin]] 45–38. It was their second Rose Bowl appearance in three years and their sixth overall. This was Oregon's third consecutive year in a BCS bowl game. The Ducks finished the season 12–2 (8–1 Pac-12) with a [[2011 NCAA Division I FBS football rankings|#4 final season ranking]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=2011 Oregon Ducks Schedule and Results |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/oregon/2011-schedule.html |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=College Football at Sports-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=2011 Pac-12 Conference Year Summary |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfbconferences/pac-12/2011.html |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=College Football at Sports-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref>

Oregon's all-time leading rusher [[LaMichael James]] decided to forgo his senior season in 2012 for the [[NFL]] and starting quarterback [[Darron Thomas]], with a career starting record of 23–3, surprisingly also decided to leave early for the NFL. Led by redshirt freshman [[Marcus Mariota]] at quarterback and senior tailback [[Kenjon Barner]], Oregon rolled to ten straight victories before finally falling to [[2012 Stanford Cardinal football team|#14 Stanford]] in overtime 17–14 on November 17. Oregon had two opportunities to beat Stanford with a field goal but both attempts failed. Kelly's Ducks would rebound to beat [[2012 Oregon State Beavers football team|#16 Oregon State]] in the [[Oregon–Oregon State football rivalry|Civil War]] for the fifth straight year and play [[2012 Kansas State Wildcats football team|#5 Kansas State]] in the [[2013 Fiesta Bowl]]. The Ducks proved to be too much for Kansas State as they prevailed in a 35–17 victory in Oregon's fourth consecutive year in a BCS bowl game.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fiesta Bowl - Oregon vs Kansas State Box Score, January 3, 2013 |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2013-01-03-kansas-state.html |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=College Football at Sports-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> The Ducks finished the season 12–1 (8–1 Pac-12) with a [[2012 college football rankings|#2 ranking]], putting them in the top five of the final season rankings for the third straight season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2012 Oregon Ducks Stats |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/oregon/2012.html |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=College Football at Sports-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref>

====NCAA sanctions====
On April 16, 2013, ''[[The Oregonian]]'' reported that the University of Oregon had offered to put its football program on two years' probation in response to NCAA violations that allegedly took place during Kelly's tenure as head coach.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2013/04/report_oregon_chip_kelly_appea.html | work=[[The Oregonian]] | title=Report: Oregon, Chip Kelly appeared before NCAA committee on infractions last Friday | date=April 24, 2013}}</ref> On June 26, 2013, the NCAA Committee on Infractions issued its report concluding the investigation into Oregon's use of football scouting services. Oregon received 3 years of probation, reduction of scholarships, but no [[Bowl game|bowl]] ban. Kelly received an 18-month [[show-cause penalty]], which would have made an immediate hiring by another NCAA institution difficult. This obstacle became moot, however, after Kelly spent the next four years coaching in the NFL.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/9424556|title=NCAA hands Ducks 3-year probation|work=ESPN.com|date=June 26, 2013|access-date=January 15, 2017}}</ref>

====NFL interest====
[[New York Giants]] coach [[Tom Coughlin]] tried to hire Kelly as a quality control coach in 2006 when he was still the offensive coordinator at the [[University of New Hampshire]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/20/chip-kelly-could-have-been-a-giant/ | work=The New York Times | first=Judy | last=Battista | title=Chip Kelly Could Have Been a Giant | date=March 20, 2013}}</ref> Kelly turned down the offer and shortly after became the offensive coordinator at the [[Oregon Ducks football|University of Oregon]].

In the spring of 2009, [[Jon Gruden]] and Kelly spent several days in Tampa, Florida, discussing theories, progressions, and offensive strategies.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kampf |first=John |last2=Company |first2=Journal Register |last3=Staff |first3=Journal Register |date=January 2, 2010 |title=Gruden has high praise for Oregon’s Chip Kelly |url=https://www.morningjournal.com/2010/01/02/gruden-has-high-praise-for-oregons-chip-kelly/ |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=Morning Journal |language=en-US}}</ref> In November 2010, he visited [[Pete Carroll]] at the [[Seattle Seahawks]] practice facility during an Oregon bye week.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2010/11/oregon_ducks_coach_chip_kelly.html | work=The Oregonian | title=Oregon Ducks coach Chip Kelly visits with Pete Carroll at Seattle Seahawks practice | date=November 17, 2010}}</ref>

In January 2012, the [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] interviewed Kelly for the head coach position, but he declined to take the job since he had "unfinished business to complete" with the Ducks.<ref>{{cite web|title=Chip Kelly turns down Bucs offer|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/7492379|work=ESPN.com|date=January 23, 2012|access-date=January 7, 2013}}</ref>

In his first season, Kelly reversed the Eagles' fortunes of the previous year.
