Breaking: Bellotti will move to AD, Kelly to head coach
President Frohnmayer just announced the long-term plans of the UO Athletic Department:
EUGENE, Ore. — (Dec. 2, 2008) — University of Oregon President Dave Frohnmayer and Athletics Director Pat Kilkenny today announced their succession plan for several key positions in the UO athletics department. Frohnmayer said he intends to promote Mike Bellotti, head football coach, to athletics director when Pat Kilkenny steps down from the position at a time yet to be determined. When that occurs, Chip Kelly, offensive coordinator for the UO football program, will assume the role of head coach.
Which is funny in light of today’s column in the ODE, “Could Kelly leave Oregon?“
