His annoying personality and obsession with being fast is best to stay at oregon. 

He is the most "oregon" coach of any coach.

You don't really think that the NCAA is going to do anything serious to Oregon, do you? I think Kelly turned down the job precisely because he knows nothing is going to happen. Phil Knight has way too much money and influence.

Not sure if it's going to be a loss of scholie's or bowl games, but something is brewing in Eugene. Way to much smoke for there not to be a fire. I think the big thing is waiting to see how soon they'll be punished. With the NCAA creating a farcical "tiered punishment system," it will be interesting to see if they get hit before or after the new system is put in place.

I was awfully curious to see how that offense would have worked in the NFL.

Especially now since he was considering the Eagles. We possibly could have seen Kelly's offense + Michael Vick = pointz, assuming it worked out

As has been discussed in other threads, Kelly's offense is a pass-based spread.  The Qb running is not the focus of the offense.  That makes me think that it may translate to the NFL.

Vick however has never been a good passer, by his own admission cannot read defenses very well, and has been a turnover machine in Philly.  He's also getting old by nfl standards.  

Jim Mora Sr said Vick was a coach killer after his kid got canned from the falcons.  Time has proved him correct with all of his coaches getting canned wityh the exception of Petrino who left before he go whacked.

I don't watch pro ball, but am forced because of geography to listen/watch the Eagles and Steelers.  Kelly coming to Philly had me mildly interested.  But Vick is nothing more than fool's gold.

I'm definitely surprised by this.  I thought Cleveland was a perfect fit for Kelly with Richardson, big recevers in Gordon and Little, and McCoy actually being a good fit for his offense.  I wonder if Kelly just wants to hold off till winning a MNC.  He's still got time to make the jump to the NFL, but he should make it sooner rather than later.

The roster has a lot of talent for a coach like Kelly to work with. He may have backed out and wanted to stay in Eugene; I don't blame him. I also question the Browns front office; they may have showed their cold feet and not trusted his system in the NFL. I was really intrigued by this move by the Browns but I think both will probably be better off without each other.

He would need the perfect situation - a proven NFL option QB (Seattle, SF (?), Washington - without the blown knee). Anything else would be watching a 3 year experiment praying for a draft miracle. Philly and Vick wouldn't work -too old.
