Being a Las Vegas Raiders player or coach is different than being an employee of any other team in the NFL -- Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers -- any team. It just means more, and sure,

Chip Kelly said leaving Ohio State to become the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive coordinator allowed him to return to the highest-level of the sport.

Kelly is returning to the NFL for the second time. He was previously the head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers, holding a 28-35 record combined in both stints. Former USC Trojans coach Pete Carroll has plenty of familiarity with Chip Kelly as the two once coached against each other in the PAC-10 conference when Kelly led the Oregon Ducks.
