Chip Kelly Takes Eagle Job

Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles

after reading about how penn state boosters were "making efforts" to help keep bill o'brien at penn state, and phil knight was doing the same with chip kelly at oregon, i would think any hot college coach would line up a couple nfl interviews, or at least float rumors of them, because it seems to be an easy way to get that motorboat you always wanted.

Why isn't it right, Boom?

If Notre Dame went 1-12, not 12-1, would Notre Dame keep him around despite the contract's termination language?

Lots of parents are super serious about the position coaching and development their kids are promised to get at Football U., under Our Big Name Coach. They commit their children to specific programs on that basis.

Or for a certain amount of promised cash.

""I think from my perspective I've got the best job in the country, NFL, college, high school, whatever," Kelly said. "I just look at the place that I'm at and thankful for the opportunity that I have." / Brian Kelly 1/5/13

Mr. Wetzel thinks Mr. Kelly's honestly shopping himself.

He also made comments bowl week that the NFL intrigued him.

The day a Triple A baseball manager turns down an MLB job is the day I think twice about college coached going to the NFL. Not before.

 

Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles

Kelly is a ladder-climber. Any Notre Dame recruit that doesn't realize that and take that into consideration when choosing a school is either dumb and/or getting horrible advice from parents, coaches, whoever.

Didn't something come out last week about the NCAA possibly doing away with the transfer rule that forces you to sit out a year? That might help these poor kids who were duped by asshole coaches who LIE!!!!

 

Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles

On the surface, a coach less suited for the NFL, let alone for the dysfunctional Eagles, can scarcely be imagined.

Gruden's ears just perked up a bit, and he doesn't know why.

 

Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles

The entertainment value of his press conferences though would be huge.

 

Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles

Isn't the NFL a lot more work though? And, turnover in the NFL ranks is extremely high right now.

If he can get an extension out of this, and stay at a good college program longterm, doesn't that put his current job in the same ballpark as a random NFL job?

And, does any part of these guys say, "I'm not ready" to themselves? I know they all have a ton of confidence, but, if you go when your not ready, or to a bad situation, it can get ugly quickly.

Not sure the big-program college football to triple-A comparison holds up.
