Chip Kelly, former head coach of the Oregon Ducks, stopped by the practice of Oregon’s Linfield College to offer some strategic advice just before Linfield blew out Pennsylvania-based Widener University, 45-7, in a Division III national quarterfinal. Widener was none too happy about the opposition receiving a helping hand from the current Eagles’ coach. Via Philly.com:

“Make sure you put in the paper that we thank Chip Kelly and I hope the Seahawks do well tomorrow,” Widener coach Mike Kelly said. “He was helping them out. Maybe somebody in Philadelphia ought to buy him a map so he knows where he lives now. But, go Seahawks.”
