D-bag move, but he wants to get out before sanctions hit. Not surprising.

Oregon fans are gonna freak out but why wouldn't he do this? He can shape the eagles to be a fucking amazing football team, potentially win a superbowl and make way more loot. Seems like a no brainier to me. I wonder how many oregon seniors he'll draft lol

Possibly. The track record for college coaches in the NFL isn't exactly perfect. Especially for unusual schemes/offenses. It has potential, and more so with that team than many others in the NFL, but its by no means a sure thing.

Did not see that coming.

The Bears just hired Marc Trestman from the Montreal Alouettes this morning too.

Sanctions will be minor if any. And i bet money has nothing to do with it. Knight would cut a personel check to kelly to match whatever the NFL would give him. He saw the success Kaepernick had and thought his scheme might work pretty well.

Oregon would have to win the NC every year to match potential NFL money... he's good as gone either way.

Pretty sure he was already going to the NFL but balked on the deal based on what personnel power he'd have.. waited till philly came back at him with a counteroffer, and boom. shrewd negotiation tactics.

Very sad to see him go, hope he does well with the Eagles.

I really don't hold anything against him for leaving, in fact I expected him to, but he shouldn't have said he was coming back that was a real let down. It won't be the same without Chip, but I know Mark Helfrich will do a good job.

If he's actually named coach.

they have 3 weeks before signing day, and probably weren't expecting to deal with this all of a sudden like this.

It's not an if. Due to Oregon state law we do have to interview at least one minority candidate, however once that's over with Big Balls Helf has the job, no doubt.

What if Kelly brings him along for the ride to Philly, though? I mean... that's his personnel, right? The whole of Oregon's coaching staff could be blown up and Mike Bellotti might have to come back haha.


Anyways.. Who else has the feeling that Chip Kelly is going to be Saban at Miami 2.0? I feel like Philly's such a carcinogenic situation that it will be a total failure and some college team will have one heck of a coach in 2015 or 2016..

Also... I feel like Nick Alliotti would be way cooler as head coach at Oregon. Fun fact: his brother is/was? a fire department chief 2 blocks away from my parents house - and is the nicest dude on the face of planet earth and a survivor of like 3 different cancers..

i believe the only coaches he was going to bring with him were our D line guy and maybe DB coach.

I do think chip is one of the few who can deal with philly pressure.

personel check from Knight.

UO will still be good but it wont be the same. Kelly had a way of motivating his players and making adjustments that the new guy cant match. they will start to lose games they never lost under kelly. Games that were tight at halftime then blow outs in the 3rd quarter. UO will fall similar to VaTech. The transition back to obscurity will be quicker though because the pac is much tougher than the ACC

No they were expecting Chip to go to the NFL, so they had Helfrich ready to take his place. What came as a surprise was Chip saying he was coming back. People speculated that Helfrich might go become head coach at another school.

Wishful thinking beavs nation. Remember, people were wondering if that new guy Kelly could match Mike Bellotti's success..

Becuse he could win a National title in Oregon, I'm sure he is treated like god there, and if he fails in say 2-3 years his coaching career could be over.

Yeah but a super bowl is a way bigger deal than a national title. Plus, working with professionals vs college kids is probably way better from a coaching standpoint. He obviously wants out of oregon and wants to move up or else he wouldve stayed.

not exactly. Belloti had like 2 good seasons and 1 bcs bowl appearance.Kelly came in and made belloti look good right before he left. Kelly is responsible for everything that oregon is now. Sure bellotti recruited dixon but he didnt use him the way kelly did. Belloti was no where near chip kelly. 137-80 while kelly was 46-7

oregon will fall. Im not saying this as a beaver homer. Im saying this as an observant cfb fan. To think anyone will be able to duplicate what kelly did is asinine. Dont kid yourself. It was a nice run, maybe the best offense in cfb history. But those days done and they will never be back.

Just be happy you had a pedestal to stand on for a bit.

and lol...oregon fans were itching to get rid of belloti. If belloti had stuck around 1 or 2 more years chip would have bolted for a head coaching job at another school.

Everyone knew kelly was on to something. We saw it with Dixon. Anyone who gives belloti any credit for the success that season is a damn moron

So with the joke that SC was this year, it looks the Stanford is the now dominant force in the Pac-12.

If he fails in 2-3 years than he becomes just like Saban and goes back to the college ranks, where he'll be successful almost no matter where he ends up. Although.. I do feel that he'd be better as an NFL OC than a HC...
