Source: Chip Kelly To Stay At Oregon, Prepare For Next Year’s NFL Free Dinners Tour
ESPN – Chip Kelly, who was likely offered the Eagles’ head coaching job on Saturday night, has decided to return for a fifth season as head football coach at the University of Oregon, a league source told CSNPhilly.com late Sunday evening. Kelly, who began the weekend as the top candidate for head coaching vacancies with both the Browns and Eagles, met throughout the day Saturday with Eagles brass in Phoenix after meeting with the Browns on Friday. Adding intrigue to the process is the fractured relationship between Lurie and Browns President Joe Banner, Lurie’s boyhood friend, first hire when he joined the Eagles 18 years ago and top executive here until his ouster in June. This is the second January in a row that Kelly has interviewed for an NFL position, only to return to Oregon, where his teams have gone 36-4 the last three years. The team has also announced plans to interview Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, whose teams were scheduled to play on Sunday.
Jackass. Wouldn’t have worked anyway.
Gus Bradley!
so let me get this straight, he’s a “jackass” for not leaving but you’re saying it “wouldn’t have worked.” Please explain your logic Mo…
god i fucking hate philly.
Maybe he will come to Dallas and fix my cowboys next year….wished we couldve gotten reid but the timing sucked
Fuck the Eagles. Go Ducks!
You have to love a Philly fan. Kelly’s system would not have worked, but no system in Philly has won them a footbal title since 1960. How’s Bynum doing?
maybe if your dumbass front office didn’t use vick and that ugly napolean dynamite motherfucker as selling points it would have went different, worse sports city of all time
If you made millions of dollars already, fan base that loves you, and did not have to live in a hell hole, why would you move to Philly? Crappy organization, fan base that eats their young. No thanks. Go blog about Bynum’s hair. Filthadephia the city sucks, their football organization (not just team) sucks. Their fan base sucks. Good for you Chip.
Smart move by Kelly. He knows that bullshit offense won’t work in the NFL. Stay in Oregon and become a legend
If Philly was such a terrible sports city, explain to me how we keep landing big name free agents like Cliff, Roy, Nnamdi (at the time we signed him, he was regarded as a top 2 DB), Asante, etc. I’m glad we didn’t get Kelly, Mike McCoy would be a much better choice, because he’s shown the ability to adapt to situations, Andy Reid’s biggest flaw. Either way, go Flyers.
i would have loved to have seen Oregon drop a steamer on ND, but i guess Alabama will have to do.
As a Seahawks fan living in PA, I hope Bradley doesn’t go to Philly. Fuck the Eagles.
Told you before Moe, you’re gonna end up with a scrub coach because nobody wnts to coach a team of primadonna quitters in a shithole town.
