"They're gonna regret that decision," another fan wrote. "Hopefully he can get back his mojo at Northwestern. He has had some very good offenses before," a fan commented.

Here are more fan reactions.

"Brother can't even get a college head coaching job anymore?" one fan said. "Bro gets passed around more than a blunt," a fan tweeted. "Chip Kelly rebooting himself as an OC might be the smartest move he's made in a decade," another fan said.

Kelly's time in Las Vegas ended after just 11 games. The Raiders made him the NFL's highest-paid offensive coordinator at $6 million per year when they hired him before this season. The experiment flopped as Las Vegas (2-14) has the league's worst record entering Week 18.

This represents Kelly's fourth offensive coordinator job at the college level. He previously held the position at New Hampshire, Oregon and Ohio State.

The blame game started after Chip Kelly's firing, with different stories emerging about who controlled Las Vegas's offense. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported in November that the Raiders' scheme looked nothing like Kelly's previous work. Defensive coordinators who faced Las Vegas compared it to Pete Carroll's Seattle offense instead.

Sports Illustrated's Hondo Carpenter painted a different picture. He said Kelly had complete control and ran his system. Carpenter protected his source but insisted that the information came directly from someone involved.
