Wow. Messed up move by Chip, Oregon is already losing some recruits as well. Hopefully they'll still be a dominant team the upcoming years.

And IMO I do not see Chip Kelly being a good coach in the NFL at all... That's just me.

[Mr. Scot]

New York Post writer asked if Kelly's Philly offense will be called The Spread Eagle

No more eating chips with The Brain Chip Kelly

Philly is stupid. No way in hell would I be happy with that

angry much brah?

Kelly is far from a slam dunk coach, his offense in college was predicated on a system that won't directly translate to the NFL and he has no NFL experience.

Jim harbaugh was a NFL player for 13 years and even made a probowl in 95 on top of all his coaching accomplishments. Pete Carroll had years of coaching and later head coaching expirence before he ever went to USC

Those two guys are the reason why NFL owners are even considering college coaches again after a string of disasters.

Personally I think overall Brian Kelly would be the better of the two Kelly's if he made the jump. I'm just so so on chip

Your respond is predicated on the assumption that kelly is taking his offensive system and forcing it to a team that cant do it. Thats not going to happen. What hes bring is a no huddle up tempo offense which we already know works in the NFL threw NE. We know he can win against good college programs with not the best of recruits and take a mediocre program to 4 bowl games straight.

The NFL is an ever changing product and has moved to an offensive dominated game. He will work in the NFL and I just dont understand why people dont think he will pan out.

and no im not mad, just taking people to task when he does in fact win in the NFL especially with an offensively talented team and no a bad d unit that just needs good coaching to be brought out.

I will be surpeised if he is successful. How many college coaches with 0 NFL experience have nade it? Jimmy Johnson..........any others? He is smart and creative (we have recently experienced that those qualities are not all they are cracked up to be), and he may defy the odds. I would not bet on it. Makes the Eagles seem desperate.

succeed or fail it should be fun to watch

[Mr. Scot]

Kelly says he "always wanted" the Eagles job (NFL.com)

Believe him, or think he'd have said that no matter who hired him?

[TheMaulClaw]

Wasn't Whisenhunt in the running for that job? That means he's a possibility as well.

Do you think this means they will keep Vick? make a move for Geno Smith? Stick with Foles?

[Mr. Scot]

(anyone remember this happened yesterday?)

Kelly reportedly has said that it was either the Eagles or back to Oregon. The Browns were never a factor.

Browns will likely follow up by saying "he wasn't who we really wanted anyway".

Do you think this means they will keep Vick? make a move for Geno Smith? Stick with Foles?

Someone pointed out that Kelly was very complimentary of Foles after coaching against him in a game.
