Why? You are seriously scared of that offense in the pros? We'll see how that all works out for the Browns next year if this story is true.

That Quack offense doesn't scare me 1 bit. I could not care at all if he signed w/ the Eagles to coach.


This scaredy stuff our fans show is just spineless.

A quarterback I wouldn't be surprised to see Chip Kelly go after, should he come out, is Aaron Murray

Interesting...not sure what he has in store there

[MartinRamone]

Nice move, Browns are a very young team. If he can make Weeden improve they will be dangerous next year because their D is already good.

I'd take it over anything Garrett slops together week to week

Weeden doesn't really fit that scheme. Weeden will probably be released.

I'm not really sure it's "scaredy".

If someone thinks divisional opponents are weaker for making (or not making) a move, it really only stands to benefit Dallas.

[Wolfpack]

Thats interesting. They are build as more of a power running team so that should fit well. :)

Kelly to the Browns is not a done deal.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly and the Cleveland Browns wrapped up seven hours of meetings Friday that were characterized as "very positive," though Kelly informed the Browns that he would proceed to interview with the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles, according to team and league sources.

If I was Chip here is how I would play it:
1. Interview with every NFL team that calls and keep getting exposure for Oregon and himself
2. Have a press conference and announce he is staying at Oregon. Renegotiate his contract with leverage and recruit like mad.
3. Become a college football legend and never worry about the drama of coaching in the NFL and collect a lot of $ in the process.

Yeah you say that now until were down 37-0 in the 2nd Q to the Eagles.

Let the record show only two coaches in history have won a national championship and a super bowl, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer. Kelly doesn't even have a National Championship, forget a Super Bowl.


He'll join the litany of walk on water college coaches that couldn't make the transition: Steve Spurrior, Nick Saban, Joe Paterno, Bobby Petrino, Dennis Erickson, Rich Brooks and many more all failed.

Saban was an NFL guy before he went to LSU as Head Coach.

[Aikbach]

Saban was an NFL guy before he went to LSU as Head Coach.Yes an ASSISTANT, and on a team so bad that it got Bill Bellicheck fired.

[DFWJC]

Good for him.
McCoy may get a second slot, btw

[Risen Star]

Apparently the Eagles are making a strong sales pitch on Kelly and they're liking their chances, per the local media around here.

Chip Kelly going to Philly is my worst nightmare. That's a perfect fit.

Think Vick has a chance of staying with Chip Kelly running the show?

[CowboyChris]

well you gotta think Vick would be a good start for his system, i hope Kelly doesnt go to Philly

[cowboy_ron]

He'll go to philly if they overbid the Browns by 33% like they did us with Nnamdi...although that worked out alright.

[DOUBLE WING]

Probably, but I bet they also draft a QB. Vick might give Chip the best shot to win right away but I doubt he wants to handcuff his future to Vick staying healthy.

I could see Vick being the starter, they trade Foles, and draft Geno Smith to sit.

The chase for Oregon coach Chip Kelly looked like a two-team derby between the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns, but a third party has re-entered the picture.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Oregon booster Phil Knight is making a strong push to keep Kelly with the Ducks, according to a source with knowledge of the process.
