January 6, 201313 yr Eagles from an offensive standpoint would be much better suited for Kelly. McCoy, Jackson, Maclin, which equals speed, speed, speed. I see his offense being a lot better in Phili than Cleveland, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.
January 6, 201313 yr Either he told them he's taking another job or he failed the interview. I get the feeling he told them no. If they didn't like him, why wait until Sunday to start the other interviews?
January 6, 201313 yr I know he will cash in but why go to the Browns? They are not very good. It's because Mike Brown is too stupid to fire the worst coach in the NFL so the bengals job isn't available.
January 6, 201313 yr An article on NFL.com says Phil Knight is doing everything he can to keep Chip out of the NFL and at Oregon. I wonder what Knight is doing behind the scenes.
January 6, 201313 yr An article on NFL.com says Phil Knight is doing everything he can to keep Chip out of the NFL and at Oregon. I wonder what Knight is doing behind the scenes. Unless Phil Knight can get the sanctions that are sure to come at Oregon to go away, I think Kelly will be in Philly coaching the Eagles.
January 6, 201313 yr I hope he stays. Oregon could pay him 6-7 mill and I bet Phil Knight is working some magic.
January 7, 201313 yr @AdamSchefter: Chip Kelly turned down a chance to go to the NFL and to returned to Oregon, according to sources. Considered Eagles but stayed at Oregon.
January 7, 201313 yr @RapSheet: I can confirm reports that #Oregon coach Chip Kelly is staying in college. Apparently, #Nike founder Phil Knight stepped up.

I hope so I like college football being able to keep some of the elite coaches rather than being a training facilitator for the NFL.
January 7, 201313 yr It makes me wonder what will happen at Oregon with the NCAA investigation. Maybe it won't be as bad as I anticipated? Stay tuned...
January 7, 201313 yr I was hoping Cleveland would get him, because I think he would have done horrible with the Browns. The Browns have some good young talent, but I don't think he would have been a good coach for them.
