So, now we get to make snide comments on Pac12/Oregon fans about how the Dux are clearly coasting on "Chip Kelly fumes" and once "his guys" graduate/leave, the program will slide back to its rightful place at the bottom of the Pac12. Right?

Sadly I don't think this will be the case as long as Phil Knight is around.  Remember the PondScum had success before Chipper, under Bellotti.  Our best hope, here, is that Chipper's running from the law Pete Carroll-style, and that the sanctions will handcuff them.[/quote]

I don't know... Oregon's success before Kelly was a notch or two below their recent level and certainly not as consistent. Not even close. This is especially true if you chalk up part of the success in 2007 and 2008 to Kelly (then OC).
