Oregon coach Mark Helfrich: ‘Chip Kelly is not insane'

Share

It didn't take long for news of Eagles coach Chip Kelly's decision to ink Tim Tebow to a one-year deal to travel across the country.

CSN Northwest asked Kelly's replacement at Oregon, Mark Helfrich, for his thoughts on the signing after the Ducks' spring scrimmage on Monday.

"I've just heard about that, I don't know," Helfrich said. "That's exciting for the media, I'm sure."

As for those who would question his former boss' sanity, Helfrich had a quick retort.

"I think it's unfortunate I've had to answer this question more than once: Chip Kelly is not insane," he said, laughing. "He's got a plan. He's got a method."

How Tebow figures into that plan remains to be seen. But if you're trying to figure out what Kelly's doing, you might as well stop.
