It's maybe divergent from this main topic a little bit (I think all this speculation about NFL guys is EXTREMELY wishful thinking, fwiw), but I personally did not like at all how this issue was handled by UofO. All comments in the paper, interviews, etc. by anyone associated with the UofO AD basically framed the move in the fashion of "Belotti will move on to the AD years down the road, with Chip Kelly taking over as HC." They carefully chose their words so as to imply it was going to be 2-3 years before a change happened and then almost immediately after NLOI day Belotti ascended to AD.
I don't know, maybe they let their recruits "in on it," but I live in Oregon and I know Ducks fans who were pretty shocked that it happened when it did.
