So much for "teams like Oregon being immune to coaches leaving". I mean they got Nike money right?

 

[oldpinepoint]

What? Really, they must have thrown a ton of $$$$ his way

 

[RobCWhatUp]

Saw this too...just another coach leaving the college ranks for his "dream job"

 

[CuseIsInTheHouse]

Mort just said on ESPN that the door was left open with the Eagles and he had a change of heart. I'm sure he'll be compensated very well either way.

 

[DPCuse]

This proves that the NFL is just a different animal. And if you haven't ever been there before, you've got to give it a shot at least once.

 

[cusetown1]

I think Chip Kelly is going to be unbelievable, and I hate the Eagles.

Either that...or rumored sanctions are on the way.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Mr Nike's check bounce?

 

[TheSpaz]

I'm going to guess his deal puts him near the top of head coaching salaries in the NFL, no doubt!

 

[Whitey23]

@ScottEnyeart: You just knew when Monte Kiffin took the Cowboys DC job, Chip Kelly thought "yeah, the NFC East is sounding niiice"

 

[upperdeck]

what SU coaches does he take.. is that why no statements yet from SU..

 

[TheSpaz]

Let's see how many Oregon coaches he brings with him...

 

[RobCWhatUp]

Was thinking the same thing...he must have caught wind that the sanctions were coming sooner than later

just learned about this from an email from the eagles. i think this counts as the first time i've been surprised by news in a long time. usually there's a period of rumors that get your head into or out of something happening. he hasn't been in my head for two weeks. cool, let's do it!

It's not going to be the same thing for a few reasons.

1. He's bringing the OC unless he figures out a way to clone himself.
2. Chip Kelly doesn't care what happens to Oregon. He has no tie. School can take care of itself because it's at the top of the world right now.

The unfortunate part if you're Oregon is the timing. The fortunate part for Oregon is that you're a Top 5 program with tons of $.

Wait, where are all the posts bashing him for leaving this late in the season and leaving Oregon in the dark?

 

[DaaBoTownSox]

Excited to see his offense in the NFL.

On the Oregon message boards.

Just like they were on here when Doug left.

As I read elsewhere, as long as they have Nike's money, they'll be alright.

Kelly and Marrone are apples and oranges.

Be interesting to see how many assistants he takes

 

[orangepassion]

His OC (who is supposed to be very similar) will be the next HC.

Go to the Oregon boards, it's not that different. But with that said, I totally agree with you re apples and oranges.
