LMFAO at Chip going to Philly, fucking things up for the next 5 years, then bailing.

[notorious]

Philly fans are going to put a hit out on him.

Why would Chip Kelley bail? I don't think he is on the hot seat is he? They are one game out of the leader in their division. The division sucks but still.

[Potato]

Chip Kelly is HC and GM, he ain't going anywhere till he's fired.

He's a deity in college, just another swinging dick in the pro's.
Some guys are meant to coach college.

[BigRichard]

I was really hoping Kelly stuck around long enough for Nebraska to get him when they fire Riley.

I would probably start watching the Huskers again if they were able to get him.

[oaklandhater]

He must think he is not going to have his job if he is mulling over the USC job.

[notorious]

Sigh.

No chance Sumlin becomes the coach of the Chiefs.

Because he is a snake. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he did this and if he did, it's a dick move.

[Jerm]

I figured they'd look at Dabo Sweeney or Mark Dantonio...maybe Art Briles.

And if the Eagles fired him tomorrow? Who would be the dick then? Answer: nobody.
It's a business. Whatever else you may think it is, it's not.

[Eleazar]

He could be hated in Philadelphia and in Oregon as well if he goes back to coach a conference opponent. Good idea.

If he gets SC back on top he'll be a god in SoCal. Who gives a shit what Philly thinks then? Even Philly doesn't like Philly.

Chip Kelly weaseled his way into power and threw everyone under the bus along the way. He threatened to leave while under contract, and the Eagles gave him tons of personnel power and basically demoted anyone with personnel power.

He is not your average coach. He's a snake.

I admire his ability to get things done to his favor while operating in an environment full of sharks who would do the same as him if they were able.

[Strongside]

Let Chip have it. Sumlin is needed here.

[Jim Jones]

I imagine anything short of a playoff win might cause the Chipster to lose his job, especially after all the personnel changes he made in the offseason.

[Buehler445]

They booed him.

At half time.

With a lead.

[vailpass]

Sun god in SoCal, beautiful scenery all around, never see another winter again.

Slogging through Philly, knee deep in slush half the year, in front of the biggest group of drunk ass obnoxious hateful fans in sports.

Tough call.

plus, as mentioned in a different thread, USC Cheerleaders wearing their sweaters would seal the deal for me if I were a coach.

There are ways to get to the top without throwing everyone under the bus on the way there, and arrogantly usurping power you don't need. This was not business move. Napoleon was successful snaking his way into power too. It doesn't make it a good idea or admirable.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

This is tarded.

I remember when it was a coin flip between Andy and chip. Guess it didn't matter.

[MMXcalibur]

Never understood WANTING to go from professional level to college.

So what's the deal with that? Is his show strictly taking calls from barely literate SEC Fans?

ask Nick Saban

I thought his wife hated the west coast or some shit. Still...it'd be pretty funny if Ohio State got Urban Meyer, Michigan got Jim Harbaugh, Notre Dame got Brian Kelly, USC got Chip Kelly, and Texas had to settle for Charlie Strong.

I'm so happy to have been right about Chip Kelly. Second only to Manziel as the most overblown, overhyped, sack of hot shit to ever "revolutionize" the game.

Dude jumps ship to the NFL just as his program is getting hit with NCAA violations. Makes millions as an NFL HC while running a franchise into the ground. Will get rewarded with a huge new contract at a big time college program. What a country!

[Red Dawg]

It would be hilarious. Nick Saban style. Ruin the team then bail.

He should be taken to court and sued.

Oregon got an extremely light slap on the wrist. They would take him back in a heartbeat.

Easier schedule. Having all the leverage over players. You can use the same offensive or defensive scheme for many years without much change. Some colleges have loads of money. Job security is higher.

[okcchief]

Chip Kelly will be back in college within 2 years. My original guess was Texas, but USC makes even more sense.

[Buehler445]

Yeah it's mostly UK basketball and Alabama football fans

Why in the fuck would anyone watch that fucking nonsense?

[eDave]

It would be hilarious. Nick Saban style. Ruin the team then bail.

Closing doors for fellow college coaches on his way out. Not that the NFL should want any of them anyway. Doesn't translate. You gotta earn your chops IN the NFL.

Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carroll disagree.

Chip would own this city, especially until there's a winning NFL team in town.

Agreed.

Extremely disappointing, actually.

Not throwing stones. I have no idea. Would his schtick go over there? I can't imagine that arrogant prick would be well received.

No, I didn't see it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen an ESPN doc since the one on the 1983 draft. :(

Chip Kelly hopes to coach in NFL long enough to end college speculation

By Ryan Wilson | CBSSports.com

<time class="storyDate" pubdate="" datetime="2015-10-15T17:04:16Z">October 15, 2015 1:04 pm ET

</time>After winning 10 games in each of his first two seasons, coach Chip Kelly and the Eagles have stumbled to a 2-3 start. The offense has been particularly inept, and given that Kelly took over personnel duties in January, he's the target for any and all criticism related to the team's struggles.

Naturally, the Eagles' record, Kelly's success at Oregon before coming to the NFL, and the current opening at USC, have led to speculation that he may be returning to the college game sooner rather than later. On Thursday, Kelly addressed the matter.

"I understand that," Kelly said of the rumors, via ESPN.com. "It's going to happen. ... We're not successful. We're not winning. I came from college. I'm going to go back to college."

But Kelly, who said he hasn't heard from USC, has no plans to leave.

"I hope someday to be like Coach [Tom] Coughlin and win enough games where I stay around long enough where that speculation ends," Kelly said. "But I understand you have to ask the question. I answered it the same way a year ago. I answered it the same way my first year here."

Kelly added that his agent hasn't sought out attention from colleges.

"It's an unfortunate part of the game," he continued. "The other part of it is there are people who have lost their jobs. A friend of mine is Steve Sarkisian, who is dealing with a big issue right now. I wish him the best. That's how I look at that situation."

As for the much-dreaded distractions, Kelly says there aren't any.

"My players could care less about that," he said. "Ask them, I guess. I don't think [center] Jason Kelce is really concerned because my name came up with a college. He's concerned with going against Steve Spagnuolo's defense, which is what's first and foremost on our team right now."

He could have been saying this over the phone while Pat Hayden was sitting at his dinner table (which I know is what you meant by the shrug DaKC).
Or he could be telling the god's honest truth...
