2009 OREGON PREVIEW

Offense won’t be where the Ducks, top 10 in both final polls a year ago after whacking Oklahoma State 42-31 in the Holiday Bowl, will have to find their way. The man who made the offense go, coordinator Chip Kelly, has assumed the reins as one of the Pac-10’s two new coaches, with Mike Bellotti moving on up to athletic director as he was always planning to do to.
Kelly looks to put his stamp on Oregon

When a well-wisher tried to congratulate him on Tuesday, Chip Kelly interrupted. Oregon's new head coach had more pressing business to discuss: "Happy St. Patrick's Day!" exclaimed the new top Duck, who, it turned out, was making up for lost time. He'd forgotten it was St. Paddy's Day until a post-lunch staff meeting. "I saw it in my day planner," he said. "It's not like [defensive coordinator] Nick Aliotti's gonna remind me."
