Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
EUGENE, Ore., Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Oregon offensive coordinator Chip Kelly will become head football coach whenever Mike Bellotti moves to athletics director, the school said Tuesday.
Oregon President Dave Frohnmayer said he plans to promote Bellotti when Pat Kilkenny steps down as athletics director at a time yet to be determined.
"Today I'm announcing a transition plan to assure the athletics department continues its momentum as one of the premier programs in the country," said Frohnmayer. "The exact timing of the changes is yet to be determined."
Bellotti, 57, is the longest-tenured head football coach in the Pac-10 Conference. He has a record of 115-55 in 14 seasons at Oregon while guiding the program to 12 bowl appearances. The Ducks went to 9-3 this season following Saturday's 65-38 win at Oregon State.
Kelly has been Oregon's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach the last two seasons following eight years as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at New Hampshire.
