So much for staying at Oregon
Chip Kelly is the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, according to league sources. No announcement yet.

I see what you are saying
I see what you are saying here, and this could very well be the case. It just seems strange to me that he would interview, turn down the job, then take it a week and a half later.
Tonight on "Fraser": Too Many Kellies!
You might be mixing up your Kellies. I think Brian Kelly is the one who interviewed and turned it down, if I'm not mistaken.
Either way, too many damn Kellies running 'round here.
I thought they both did. Chip
I thought they both did. Chip first, then Brian.
Chip only interviewed w/ Cleveland.
As an NFL gig, Philly is a step up in personnel, organization, and prestige from Cleveland and PROBABLY worth leaving Oregon for.
Ah, well my mistake then. I
Ah, well my mistake then. I can understand turning down Cleveland then later accepting the Philly position without needing motivation from the NCAA.
Edit: According to the ESPN article Chip interview w/ Cleveland, Buffalo and Philly before deciding to stay at Oregon. So, suck it. I was right.
I was wrong. I am forever
Unless he was offered more
Unless he was offered more money.

I was in the midst of making a thread on this myself. One second no threads, next second three threads. At least that adds a little excitement to the NFL next year. Hopefully Oregon doesn't drop off, I think they're good for college ball.
Good for college ball?
Have you seen what trying to keep up with Oregon has done to our uniforms?
The stain on our uniforms is
The stain on our uniforms is regretable, no doubt. But aside from poisoning the culture of traditional uniforms, it has been nice to see a program develop into a powerhouse outside of the SEC. Plus, Oregon is fun to watch.
Really don't care about
Really don't care about Oregon, but I really hope Kelly fails spectacularly in the NFL.
He is finally gone!

I forgot what the post was about.
Oh yeah, Oregon, Chip Kelly, Eagles. Interesting, that.

Im with Busey
Anyone remember "I'm with Busey" on comedy central? A short lived gem, and I mean that in the truest sense of the word.
I'm not even going to try and embed, but here is a clip from the show of Gary Busey as a relationship counselor/woman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tN_4JsNnkc
Yes!

GONE

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
Kelly to Eagles, while a
Kelly to Eagles, while a violation of the Board rules on informative titles, would have been amusing. If only I could post at NDNation...
It will be interesting to see how Kelly's playing style works in the NFL. Out of all the coaches with spread like tendencies out there, I think his method has the best chance of working given how he incorporate passings and the power run.
The question is, when he returns to the NCAA
in three years, will it be with Oregon?

I read your comment as "spread like tentacles" . . . and then realized it didn't really matter.

Similar to Pete Carrol's Exodus at USC?
I wonder if Chip Kelly saw the handwriting on the wall like Pete Carrol did at USC with NCAA sanctions looming.
Mike Vick has to be extremely happy with this hire.
I think it's equally likely
I think it's equally likely that the Eagles saw what the zone read did this past weekend in the NFL playoffs and backed a dumptruck full of money up to Kelly's house, as well as giving him some control over personell.
FWIW
I just saw a report that said the Jets are looking to trade Sanchez and pursue Vick.
and if you think the Jets
and if you think the Jets will actually be able to trade Sanchez, you might be more bat-shit crazy than Busey
How Pete Carrol of him. So
How Pete Carrol of him. So Gruden to Oregon of course.
This will be one coachign
This will be one coaching search where you can safely expect Gruden's name to NOT come up. I think Oregon will want to stick to the system and so far Helfrich(the O-coordinator) is the name that comes up the most in terms of taking over the head coaching position.
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order because it is better organized.
This is something schools
This is something schools will use against ND and PSU in recruiting as long as Brian kelly and Bill O'Brian are there.
Agree
And rightly so. Another of the many reasons I sleep well at night with Hoke as our coach. Obvious guy is obvious, but if Harbaugh had been hired we'd all likely be mid-ulcer by now.
Brandon deserves more credit than he gets on this blog for making that most important decision.
Harbaugh would have left us
Harbaugh would have left us at some point, but I don't think he'd have to go in a way that gave us an ulcer. I assumed he'd come, spend 4 or 5 years here, win a Rose Bowl, declare the program fixed, and move on. Assuming we had Hoke's agent on speed dial or a talented coordinator on staff and ready for promotion, we could have handled it assuming we saw it coming and avoided "The Process 2.0". That said, I'm glad Hoke is our coach. However assuming it was Harbaugh coming here and then doing a somewhat preplanned moved to the Dolphins (the Ross connection), it wouldn't have been terrible.
As for Purple and Yelling Kelly, I think he's done at ND sooner or later. When he interviewed with the Eagles so many Domers were outraged anyone would ever consider leaving South Bend. The ND old guard will nurse that grudge and for for Kelly's throat the moment he has a bad season.
Even Bo looked around.
As long as Kelly keeps winning, he is safe.
"I hate losing more than I like winning." - Zack
Bo only looked around one
Bo only looked around one time, after his 13th season here, when Texas A&M offered him a huge raise (at a time when U-M really didn't compensate him all that well - Canham was notoriously cheap). Not that analogous.
Maybe it would have subsided by now
because I think Harbaugh would have left after one year. Given he turned us (and Stanford) down, his heart was obviously in the NFL. He would have left as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
If he made it past year two, we'd certainly be sweating right now. And in that scenario, none of us would have any idea Hake was a good coach. Leading to another horrible offseason of angst. That would have been a harsh blow to the program 2 years after RR.
Need to chime in
Need to chime in here....
Brandon didnt choose Hoke over Harbaugh... Harbaugh and wife didn't want to leave the SF area. And as much as I like Hoke, I prefer having a prick as coach like Bo or Miles are/were. We'd likely have a Big Ten title by now.
Brandon would have chosen Hoke over Miles.... and I prefer Miles.
So a prick of a coach would
So a prick of a coach would have prevented our QB from damaging his ulnar nerve?
Didn't neg you
But I disagree with your last listed preference.
And never said Brandon chose Hoke over Harbaugh, only that Harbaugh preferred the NFL (which your statement confirms).

As a Redskins fan, I hope he succeeds. Washington finally has a GM that can bring in real talent, and I think if things turn out OK for RGIII, Washingotn will be just fine. I like beating good teams, not doormats. It makes your victories worth something.

As a UM fan, which I presume you are, why in the hell would you want to see the system our biggest rival runs, which we run the opposite of, succeed on the highest level?
Oregon already announced their coach
They already said their OC would take over if Chip left

Don't worry Oregon fans and
Don't worry Oregon fans and recruits, the offensive coordinntor is taking over, everything will be fine.
/s
On the flip side of that I can't wait to see what happens in Philly. It's like they've been assembling Chip Kellys ultimate fantasy team over the years, and now he's the coach. They'll sell out that stadium again in a matter of hours.

Well, Kelly was a little
Well, Kelly was a little known offensive coordinator at Oregon when Belotti left, so probably shouldn't be too sarcastic at the idea. That said, as a Colorado alum, I've seen Helfrich when he had full control of an offense, and it wasn't pretty.
Lol. I went to make this post and saw 3 others when I refreshed. You're the quickest. Congrats!
This should be interesting I'm curious to see how his offense works in the NFL
