What were you thinking, Oregon coach Chip Kelly?
You suspended your starting quarterback for the entire season when you're about to bring back the bulk of a team that won the Pac-10 title last year. Your Ducks were on the short list to compete for a national title in 2010. The designers at Nike headquarters -- less than two hours north on Interstate 5 -- had probably already started designing Swoosh-covered championship T-shirts. But no-o-o-o-o. You had to suspend Jeremiah Masoli for the entire season. And why?
Because he stole someone else's property? And then lied to you about it?
Are you crazy?

Wow, next will expect the kid to go to class!
Superstars should be above the law, of course.
If this is anything like the suspension of their running back last year Masoli will be reinstated by game 1
The kid will transfer to USC where he is more welcome...
Oh, too kewl! You should run a thief and a liar as a QB because the title is so much MORE important than being a law abiding individual...
And we MUST provide this thieving liar with a venue to get $MILLIONS from Nike, and of course bring Nike money to the school?
Surely this is sarcasm, right?
good for the coach and possibly good for the kid
They let one kid go. But he was not a STARTER! It pays to be a starter.
LOL
Is that a real year or a Lagarette Blount year?
Too true.
C’mon. Blount missed 9 games. From all accounts he worked hard and earned his way back. I don’t have a problem with that.
I’m glad the coach kept the kid around the program. A knucklehead like that would have gone downhill fast.
The Oregon coach had been under heavy fire for the seemingly loose state of the program. If he would have cracked down hard sooner, he may have saved his QB the temptation. It seems to me that Maoli probably does not, or did not respect the rules.
great article...
now if the Rooneys would just hire this guy to coach Ben Roethlisberger...
