McBeane Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I was all aboard the Chip Kelly bandwagon a couple weeks ago, but at this point, I can't let myself root for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Wow crazy.. thought he was back at oregon for good i assume these means the eagles search was going poorly and they essentially privately told him to name his price and demands and got it finalized. im looking forward to seeing what his scheme does. with mccoy and brown in the backfield and jackson/maclin outside.... if he finds his qb it could be fun to watch. even if it flops, im curious as a fan of the game.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm betting the Eagles keep Vick as their QB to run Kelly's FastBreak offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Mortensen's Story on ESPN.com: http://espn.go.com/n...-eagles-sources Confirmed by the Eagles: @NFL_ATL Eagles confirm Chip Kelly is the new coach. No changing his mind now. @JasonLaCanfora Eagles have now announced they have hired Chip Kelly as their head coach. Bold, bold move. Showed a lot of perseverance to pull it off @ProFootballWkly #Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie: “Chip Kelly will be an outstanding head coach for the Eagles. He has a brilliant football mind."
