The Tao of Chip Kelly: Lessons from America's Most Innovative Coach Description
“Having studied Kelly's time at Oregon extensively, Saltveit has written the book on Kelly. Literally.” —Dan Graziano, ESPN.
During his four years as football coach at the University of Oregon, Chip Kelly led the previously unheralded Ducks to a 46-7 record. But Chip Kelly's method goes a lot deeper than his high-risk defense and lightning-fast, no-huddle offense.
What is behind Chip’s astonishing success? It's a lot more than just plays and tactics. Now that he's in the NFL as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, this book looks at the remarkable philosophy and innovative management strategies that Chip Kelly uses to build elite teams—strategies that every leader or business manager can employ to make their own brand a champion.
“He just thinks so differently than anyone I’ve ever met.” —Oregon assistant coach, John Neal
"Saltveit lays out a clear picture of how Kelly operates." —Bob Ford, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Great stuff! Highly recommend. Must read for Eagles/football fans. Will read it every year headed into our preseason." —Brian Flinn, wide receivers coach, Villanova

Though you couldn't pay me to sit through a game of football, I couldn't put this book down. The Taoist methods of Chip Kelly that brought his teams to glory are ones from which all managers and leaders can benefit. Quoting the Tao to the engineering teams I manage would put them to sleep, but having football analogies helps to get their buy in and clearly drive points home. For instance, "You teach to the fastest learner, and everyone else has to catch up": all of us in high tech know that one by heart or we will die from not knowing it. Thanks Mark Saltveit, for revealing Chip's secrets and for helping us to be better leaders.

A quick, fun, insightful, well researched, and first of its kind read about Chip Kelly that has
me eager for the season to start. (Couldn't bear to watch last year.) It will be fascinating to see
whether Chip's success with the Oregon Ducks, will materialize into another trip to the Super Bowl for the Eagles.
(Patience, I know: Keep watering the bamboo.) Oregon native, Mark Salveit makes a compelling argument on how the well grounded New England born Kelly has made his principles the key ingredients to both winning the game and succeeding in business.
