Since when is Evanston considered part of the NE?

I can get onboard with the assumption that Chip being an east coast Philly area guy has a certain incompatibility with the PNW and the west coast in general. Being that he was recently at UCLA, suggests that a payday can overcome geographic suitability/unsuitability for a term that any prospective Oregon OC contract would encompass potentially. I do consider Chip as an OC a long shot, but I don't see it as out of the realm of possibility if Oregon throws money at it. Unless Chip pissed off PK, I think that his previous time and success at Oregon outweighs any objections of the donors that didn't get their ass kissed to their satisfaction when he was the head coach..

I wondered that too. Maybe he thought Chip was at Northeastern in Boston?

Otherwise I agree with the point: I don't think Chip wants to come back here, or he would have done so by now.

Northwestern is near Chicago, not New England.

Sorry for the confusion, NE wasn't New England, I ment to point out the (NE)northeast in general. I was loosely referring to the entire area. If we defined a coachs love for the "west coast", I would include California, Oregon, Washington etc...
I should have been more specific.

Yeah, everything looks the same under a foot of snow. :lol:

I dunno, Chip takes jobs all over the place. Off the top of my head: New Hampshire, Oregon, Philadelphia, San Francisco, UCLA, Ohio, Nevada and now Chicago. Maybe he will work with Mario in Miami next.
