“It's incredible”: Why an NFL coach is in love with football in Ohio, Ryan Day

Carroll hopes that the run of Ohio State can help with his return to coaching.

Carroll was hired last month as Raiders Next Coach after 14 years of work at the Seahawks. To his first steps, the attitude of Ohio, chip Kelly, was in the same role.

Carroll was not sure where Kelly originally stood to return to the NFL, but when the opportunity arose to bring him to Las Vegas, it was an obvious step.

“Astonishing offense,” said Carroll about Kelly's unity at OSU. “Two 1000 yard rushers, two 1000 yard receivers, national championship and the whole. It was an incredible tour all the season. I saw her all year round. “

His general manager John Spytek repeated the praise and pointed out the development of the quarterback Woward wants to go to Ohio in one season after changing from the state of Kansas.

“He had a few difficult moments, but chip and is found to play her best football when it was most important,” said Spytek. “You have to give your cap to people who can do that.”

While a large part of the offensive success falls on Kelly's shoulders in 2024, Carroll was also of the opinion that it was a reflection of the head coach.

“The fact that he was able to roll chip there and get chip there as quickly and to have an immediate influence as it is is philosophy, approach and vision for this program that you could maintain,” said Carroll.
