Chip Kelly is leaving national champion Ohio State to return to the NFL as offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders, ESPN reported Sunday.
Kelly, 61, spent just one season with the Buckeyes and the campaign ended with a 34-23 victory over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff national title game.
Quarterback Will Howard threw for 5,786 yards and 48 touchdowns in 50 games over four seasons at Kansas State before transferring to Ohio State. Under Kelly’s tutelage, Howard passed for 4,010 yards and 35 touchdowns in 16 games in 2024.
Kelly served four years in the NFL as a head coach, going a combined 28-35 with the Philadelphia Eagles (2013-15) and San Francisco 49ers (2016).
Kelly also spent 10 seasons as a college head coach. He went 46-7 in four seasons at Oregon (2009-12) and 35-34 in six seasons at UCLA (2018-23).
The Raiders recently hired former Seattle Seahawks and Southern California coach Pete Carroll as their new head coach.
