Not a chance. Vick's gone Feb 2 regardless who the coach is.

Why are people operating under the assumption that Kelly is going to try and bring his college playbook to the NFL? Do they honestly think teams are anxious to install a system that's (a) a poor fit for their existing personnel and (b) pretty much been proven to be unsuccessful in the long term at the NFL level?

I don't want Kelly in Philly because I'd prefer a guy with NFL experience. Additionally, Kelly is notorious for disliking the media, which will fly really well in Philly.

Unfortunately, Philly now the front runner.

I doubt Philly gets him, either. He's going back to Oregon, me thinks. He played the Browns like a fiddle. Haslam and Banner really thought it was a done deal, to the point where they released it to the press that he was signing.

Then, Chip broke out his fiddle. Guy is the Jimi Hendrix of the fiddle.

Just did a quick East Coast fiddle tour... Now back to Oregon.

Hoping you're right.

I think the Browns will be better off without Kelly...which is exactly why I was hoping they would sign him lol.

That is what really hurts. I wanted Marrone as much or more than Kelly. I think he will end up being an excellent coach. Who knows where they look now.

And, as expected...

Chip Kelly stays at Oregon

Smart move, the job opening this year isn't that lucrative. He'll get to apply for the NFL every year.

FWIW, he was the guy who trained Brandon Weeden before last years draft.

He's also worked in the off season with Tebow and Claussen. He might want to keep that part quiet.

You could pick some Mexican named José who's tattooing teardrops on one of his buddy's faces at some random sidewalk from Cali, give him the gig and he would do a better job.

Trestman is an interesting candidate. I bet he would be a good NFL HC.
