This is a CBS Sports writer who has UT number one if Chip goes back to college. Don't want if we need a new coach I'd rather have Herman. Chip's a great coach, but with too much baggage.
Where Chip Kelly could land if he decides to return to college football
1. Texas Longhorns: Texas has not been pleased with the start to Charlie Strong's tenure in Austin, but Strong is supposed to get at least one more year to turn things around. The Longhorns just threw a vote of confidence behind Strong to lure in a new offensive coordinator, so it doesn't seem likely the Longhorns would make this move this offseason.
However, this is Texas. The Longhorns expect to win and if boosters see Chip Kelly as the answer they won't have any problem coming up with the money to pay him and cover buyouts for Strong and his staff.
2. Texas A&M Aggies: Things are unraveling in College Station for Kevin Sumlin and the Aggies, as a pair of blue chip quarterbacks transferred out this December. Sumlin has long been rumored as the next college coach to get an NFL shot and if any team comes calling this offseason, it's hard to imagine him not jumping at an offer to avoid what may be a sinking ship.
If Sumlin left, the Aggies have boatloads of cash to throw at Kelly and they could try and keep John Chavis around to run the defense opposite Chip's offense. This one seems to be the scenario that would be most believable for this offseason, with Texas a better chance for 2017. I question whether the NFL wants Sumlin, but if one team does and he bounces, the Aggies are probably the collegiate front-runner for Kelly
