The Las Vegas Raiders have a new face in their coaching ranks. He is not a rookie. Chip Kelly, who knew both NFL success and frustration, has been given a new chance in the league. He will be the assistant coach responsible for the team's offense. Kelly will be joined by Pete Carroll, who is the head coach. Kelly has taken a quite the journey through the football world. It all began with the Philadelphia Eagles. Then, he led the San Francisco 49ers. He was a big deal at first.  Kelly's time with the Eagles led to a remarkable performance. He helped lead the silver and black to their first Super Bowl win. This was made possible when he traded some of their key players. Then, he had a rough patch in the NFL. Everything about his career seemed to be going downhill. In fact, many said he had control over the 49ers, but was unable to win any games.

As he returned to the college ranks, Kelly proved he still had a lot to offer. Many football fans know this to be true.  He landed at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He did okay, but his journey doesn't stop there. He moved to Ohio State, a powerhouse in college football. Kelly helped to lead the team to a national championship in 2024. This was a big deal. It just happened last year.  So, with this victory under his belt, Kelly is back. He will be working as an assistant coach on Pete Carroll's staff. This is a new chapter for him. But will this be his second chance at the big leagues?

The Raiders coaching squad is now set for the 2025 season. They are ready to start building and working with their team. Kelly may not be the head coach, but he is an offensive coordinator. He will be responsible for the team's offensive strategy. It will be interesting to see how this works out for him and the team.

It is worth noting that Kelly is not the kind of coach who tends to perform well as a head coach. But he is a person who shines when he is in charge of the offense. As an example, consider Kingsbury. Kingsbury was a big deal in the college ranks. But he was not as successful when he was a head coach in the NFL.
