I don't think that matters given that Kelly is probably going to get slammed with sanctions. For a coach who seems like he'd really like to try out the NFL, the timing couldn't be any better for him to try.

Then you tell me why take an NFL team out of the running to use as leverage for your services?

Ian Rapoport should be out of a job after the last week.

I agree, he sucks.

Good Ole Ian Rappawrongport.

So now they are saying Kelly might just stay at Oregon. Wow....

Wow. Glad we got Reid locked up before that happened.

Colt McCoy was like: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Schefter was on ESPN just now. Basically said no one really knows what he's going to do. It will be Oregon or the Eagles, but nobody really knows where he's leaning.

Also said Lovie Smith is probably going to interview with San Diego.

Well I wouldnt of hired a college coach with no NFL experience, does he have any?, the players in tough times wont like him

Lovie PLEASE go to SD!

Browns claim they walked away from Chip Kelly
Posted by Mike Florio on January 6, 2013, 8:26 PM EST

As the Browns try to “reboot” their coaching search without Chip Kelly in the mix, the spin from Cleveland is, essentially, “It’s not me, it’s you.”

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns decided to walk away from Kelly after sensing that he was “waffling” on whether to leave college football.

Sorry, but we’re not buying that one. The Browns ultimately need to be able to say that they got the right man for the job. That includes being able to say that Kelly, who appeared as of Friday to be the right man for the job, was the wrong man for the job.

And while we’ve had a little too much fun chiding the reports that a deal between the Browns and Kelly was close, the Browns had every reason to dispute those reports, if they weren’t true. Instead, the Browns remained silent until after Kelly spent more time than expected meeting with the Eagles on Saturday– and possibly trying to get Philly to match or to beat whatever the Browns had offered him.

So while it’s clear that something happened that soured the Browns on Kelly, it likely has more to do with how he handled the negotiations to make the move to the NFL than whether he’s ready to make the move at all.

Why? He's not a bad coach by any stretch.

I still dont understand why he would consider the Browns. Eagles appear to be more of a team suited to his offensive style.

He should stay put with the roster of Freshman he had this last year.
