    Notebook: Chip Kelly assesses his offense at halfway point of fall camp

    Almost certainly coachspeak.

    Notebook: Chip Kelly assesses his offense at halfway point of fall camp

    Goes almost without saying, but we haven't had an offensive mind like his at NU since Walk. Really hope it works out here with him.

    Northwestern announces $35 million donation to the football program from the Uihleins

    The AD is probably running around $160 million to $180 million in annual revenue in the current FY or next FY with the new stadium and full sponsorships/revenue opportunities that it will start to bring online along with the Big Ten distribution. This is a business; it's not about students and...

    Northwestern announces $35 million donation to the football program from the Uihleins

    Donors funding and supporting NIL is the most important next step now that we've finished the facilities buildout for athletics.

    Bigger Cinderella Story?

    Indiana is a bigger story because they have a team that can win it all. As far as being a Cinderella in the sense of that word, NU '95 was the Cinderella of Cinderellas. In some ways that's still the most improbable single season perhaps ever because Barnett did it without resources. We...

    Aiden Chiles is our new quarterback

    Sure, but we had to assume he had some kind of plan or target; he's likely been planning for this job for at least 2 weeks now. (Braun/Jackson were talking to him before the bowl game). Either way, I have more confidence in Chip Kelly while he's here than any offensive staff we've had since...

    Aiden Chiles is our new quarterback

    This is why I wasn't worried; some of you guys were worrying way too much about the transfer QB situation. Chip Kelly got his target.

    Kienholtz to Louisville

    There's a ton of QBs around, I'm sure Kelly will figure out which one he wants.

    OC Chip Kelly's fingerprints all over Northwestern's newest coaching hires

    Quality of the hires shows what you get with an experienced guy like Kelly that has a long list of contacts. Hard not to be excited about the potential on the offensive side of the ball as these guys come in here and get to work.

    Why bowl games matter

    That will definitely help Jackson sell us to bigger bowls in the future too.

    Shoutout to Coach Braun

    As far as Fitz goes, I have 0 ill will towards him, and I do think that the hiring of Braun saved the program, so Fitz deserves full credit for firing JON and hiring what ended up being his own successor. On balance, of course Fitz's contributions to NU football vastly outweigh the 2 year JON...

    Northwestern 2026 signees excited to play for new OC Chip Kelly

    Feels like way too much reading into a "no comment" response. Just let things play out; Chip Kelly is already putting together what appears to be a great offensive staff; have to assume he'll come in and figure out what he wants his players to look like as well. Just the nature of the beast...

    Why bowl games matter

    Yep, add another game onto our multi-million viewer list. Another reason going bowling and winning is important even against a G5 opponent. People will always watch these games, even the lowest one on the Big Ten's list, even a Big Ten team blowing out a G5 opponent.

    Jerry Neuheisel as QB Coach

    It's also just a basic reality that you can't get a guy like Chip Kelly without promising him complete control of offense/offensive staff. Not sure why this is tough to understand. He's one of the biggest names in CFB for what he's done; he's been HC at Oregon, UCLA as well as the Eagles/49ers...

    Shoutout to Coach Braun

    This is just not how football works. Nobody thought this when Fitz took over and nobody thinks it when Braun took over. The team could have all bolted or fallen apart after Fitz got fired (like a lot of the fans did). I think the firing was wrong and handled poorly, but it doesn't change the...
