"I'm the head coach; he ain't going to defense"

That in a nutshell is why I love Chip.

When talking about Donate:
Kelly says: "The thing that excites me about the running back prospects we had, they could care less who was here. They want to come and compete. When I talk to a kid, if the first thing they want to talk to me about is my depth chart, I don’t want you on my team. Because if you’re afraid right now, what are you going to do when we go play Tennessee in front of 100,000 people? The kids that we got want to compete.”

Boy did that get me excited about all the recruits we've landed. I'm aware most coaches in the nation feel this way about the classes they've pulled in as well, but quotes like this give me goosebumps. I think these are the players Kelly is going to attract in abundance, especially given the style of practices we have now.

THIS quote sums up in a nutshell why I like Chip.

I really like Chip's philosophy on fitting kids to his system. Hearing him talk about Bryan Bennett got me really pumped. Comparing him to Dennis Dixon is always going to make me smile.

I <3 Chip. He's such a sophisticated badass.

Seriously. Chip pwns everyone. Love his attitude & what he's doing with this program. How he handles recruiting & the kind of kids he's bringing in. ATTITUDE.

I especially love his answers he gives in his press conferences. Not the typical or safe answers that you would have gotten from Bellotti in the past.

Same here. I would fall asleep watching MB's press conferences. Now I'm busting up laughing throughout all of Chip's. He's a No BS guy but isn't an A-hole about it. Its really refreshing.

I watched Kelly's press conference, nice to hear his comments on all the players. Love how he is emphasizing speed. Speed kills.

Also very instrumental in recruiting several of the other players.
