Canzano: Chip Kelly trades beach for high ground at Ohio State

PS: Jonathan Smith... should have been more patient.

In my last communication with Chip Kelly, we bantered about the sunny weather in Southern California.

He and his wife live close to the beach. Kelly was about to go out recruiting and I joked that he needed to travel to the coldest parts of the country and find the biggest humans that could fit through an airplane door.

Sell the warm weather, I offered.

Kelly shot back: “NIL defeats weather.”
