Chip Kelly finds a satisfaction at Ohio State he couldn't get as UCLA coach Ohio State offensive coordinator and former UCLA head coach Chip Kelly is excited to be back at the Rose Bowl, working closely with Buckeyes QB Will Howard.

Chip Kelly’s returning to the same sidelines he roamed for the past six years as UCLA’s head coach.
