Kelly thrilled to return to “just coaching” in San Francisco
Eventually the Alabama head coaching position will open up, and if Kiffin continues to grow under him and proves he’s ready to take the next step, he could be a real candidate to replace Saban when he retires.

“At the end of the day, this was a fairly easy decision”, Baalke said.
Chip Kelly can handle the chatter and criticism, from his own players and otherwise.
He talked about how he used to “self-scout” himself and his team after every game, after every season. You better be good in all three phases.
“Until you see them on the field, you really don’t know”, he said. “The way this personnel department is set up and how they structure things, I’m excited to be a part of it”. “They have an eye for talent”. But I was also impressed in terms of how Blaine (Gabbert) played this year also. “I think both of those players made this an attractive situation”.
Kelly said he’s spoken and crossed paths with both quarterbacks, and that league rules prevent him from talking any football schematics until the offseason program begins April 4.
Kaepernick is recovering from surgery on the thumb of his throwing hand to repair a torn ligament, a procedure on his left knee and an operation on his non-throwing left shoulder to fix a torn labrum.
Kelly disputed reports that he was interested in trading a year ago for Kaepernick. “It takes a collaboration on so many different levels for a team to be successful”, Kelly said Wednesday.
Let’s be clear here, the idea that a man who has spent his entire life teaching and coaching young black men is a racist is nearly absurd, but if there was enough of a disconnect between Kelly and his players that some of them felt he was a racist, or at the very least didn’t view or treat everyone the same is a big red flag. “We’re in that process right now”.
According to Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports, Kelly called the Bay area “the most fertile, creative part of the country” and said that the air in the region “makes you smarter”. I said that they were not going to fool me with “this fake ass “world wide coaching search” and hire in-house by promoting Eric Mangini to fill in that void.
If Kelly wants success with the current San Francisco roster, he’s going to have to change some of his coaching methods. Better than York or Baalke taking center stage and displaying their weakness and insecurity. “No. There’s perception, and there’s reality”, Baalke answered.
“Really, I don’t think it was a self-scout to me probably, because I got fired”.
“I have great respect for Jim”.
“And to be able to collaboratively work with someone like that in terms of building this team and getting us to the point where we can get a sixth trophy to put in that case out front … it’s something that we strive for”.
When asked if zone-read offense can still be executed effectively, he responded by pointing out the importance of having the correct player’s to implement, and added: “I know Russell Wilson and Cam Newton are killing people with it right now”. “There are going to be times when it’s going to be hard, it’s going to be adverse, but you have confidence based on your preparation that you’ll see it through”.
-YORK: I think two things-I’m not anxious about that issue.
” Kelly confirmed he will not have final say on the Niners’ 53-man roster”.

“I always have kind of a quest and a thirst for just trying to improve”, Kelly said in the Levi’s Stadium auditorium. “It’s applicable from a personnel standpoint”.
