The Head Football Coach of Oregon Chip Kelly's first coaching job in 1990 was at Columbia University: <br /><br />"Kelly isn’t a typical college football coach. He is the son of a lawyer. He is single. He grew up in New Hampshire. His first coaching job in 1990 paid him $4,000 a year to coach defensive backs and special teams at Columbia University."<br /><br />http://www.cantonrep.com/newsnow/x1783191305/Todd-Porter-Chip-Kelly-may-just-be-what-the-Browns-needAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-12768268629641846362013-01-02T14:43:16.986-08:002013-01-02T14:43:16.986-08:00Was Barbour, who went to the same HS, involved, so...Was Barbour, who went to the same HS, involved, somehow?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-70304428055189274382013-01-02T14:31:38.270-08:002013-01-02T14:31:38.270-08:00As humorously narrated in one of his last books (&...As humorously narrated in one of his last books ("Vanity of Dulouz") Jack Kerouac left the CU football team in part because of his perception that Lou Little was obsessed with that Stanford game and the KF-79 play. In my opinion Kerouac was the all-time best writer/football player combination. There may be better writers and there were certainly better football players, but I see JK as the best combo. I'd love to know others' thoughts about this. <br /><br />Willa Cather loved football (Nebraska especially) but could not play because she was a girl, more or less. Otherwise she might give Kerouac serious competition.<br /><br />When I was a CU lightweight football player, my coach was George Furey, who accounted for CU's other victory over Stanford in 1936 when he ran back the opening kickoff. The score in that regular season game was also 7-0. Let's keep playing Stanford!
