"Wow" is right. I thought that ship had sailed.per Chris Mortenson
wow..
No, this isn't an older post we accidentally published: the Eagles have, on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, hired Chip Kelly away from Oregon, CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman confirms.
I imagine he won't.Wonder if he'll get the same criticism as CNS for his denial and then reversal...
Unless, CNS goes to Oregon or Cleveland. :wink:He might run a gimmick offense, but I'm still glad he's gone. They were a threat to Alabama, but now it's a lot harder to imagine that.
He might just b/c Oregon is a higher profile spot than the Dolphins. But CNS is CNS and he'll always have the haters out there as long as he is successful.Wonder if he'll get the same criticism as CNS for his denial and then reversal...
Wrong KellyNot just that, but he was talking with ND about a raise and extension. Maybe he was using that talk to get a better deal from Philly. CNS made his comments at one press conference. Kelly said he had the best job ever before the BCS title game; then another after his interview came out thanking the Philly organization and saying he's staying at ND.
I actually do expect the media to blast him more than CNS because of the team he's spurned. CNS left the Dolphins; only Dolphins fans or CNS haters (who'd hate him regardless) still bring that up. Kelly is leaving a very prestigious program in a worse way than CNS left. Kelly better enjoy the NFL b/c credibility is going to be a BIG issue if he ever comes back to college.

Why would Chip Kelly be talking to ND about a raise? He works or worked for Oregon. He would be talking to Nike about a raise if anyone.Not just that, but he was talking with ND about a raise and extension. Maybe he was using that talk to get a better deal from Philly.
