Did they flip a coin to decide which Kelly to offer?

Looks like we will be recycling thread topics for a while. Up next, "Brian Kelly to (insert team here) for real" topics, followed by "Oops, I mixed up Chip Kelly and Brian Kelly to (insert team here)" topics. Just give me the stinking discussion topics on uniforms and out of conference schedules.

He's dumb as shit sorry for the language .... I guess if he wanted to get close to an offense that can run with his, it is Philly though...

Oregon coach Chip Kelly will be the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, league sources told ESPN.
Kelly re-emerged as a candidate recently and an agreement was just reached Wednesday.

Wouldn't be so sure; they'll probably just bump up the OC and they still have more money/better facilities than any other team in the country (including us, Bama, etc) due to Knight.

Whoa. A rumor on this forum that came true. What are the odds?

Who thinks tebow would work for chip Kelly? Can you post why you would think it would be smart or why it would not be smart?

If 95 % of the QB's coming out of college ranks are running a version of the spread then the NFL will be forced to adapt and is finally doing so
Only see this as a growing trend...

Tebow would be very comfortable in Kellys system and more importantly has the body to hold up over a season

"I look for a quarterback who can run and not a running back who can throw. I want a quarterback who can beat you with his arm," Kelly explained at a coaches clinic in the spring of 2011, emphatically adding, "We are not a Tim Tebow type of quarterback team. I am not going to run my quarterback 20 times on power runs."

Shocker. Not sure what to think of this. This has all the makings of a guy who had it made right where he was before he made the jump. A lot of guys it that situation ended up realizing they made a terrible mistake and came back (Petrino, Saban, Holtz). Of course there's also guys like Jimmy Johnson and Jim Harbaugh who ended up making it, but I'd like to know how Eagles fans are feeling right now.
