Report: Browns restart search without Kelly - Kelly to stay at Oregon | Page 2

sfout · 2013-01-04T15:13:04-08:00

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/06/chip-kelly-stays-at-oregon/ Perhaps the biggest move of the coaching hiring cycle is the one that wasn't made. Per multiple reports, Oregon coach Chip Kelly is staying in Oregon. The move comes a day after Kelly spent multiple hours meeting with the Eagles, and two days after he reportedly was close to becoming the next coach of the Browns. It's the second straight year that Kelly nearly has left Oregon for the NFL, and the question becomes whether the NFL opportunity will keep knocking. At some point, NFL teams won't waste their time trying to hire him. At some point, Kelly's Favre-ish indecision could impact recruiting in a negative way. For now, Kelly's choice to stay in Oregon will surely help seal the deal for the coming class who will be able to sign their letters of intent early next month.

After Geno, best Chip QB fit. RT @AlexMiglio: Sneaking suspicion Alex Smith will be Brown next year,going to look good in Chip Kelly offense

With Chip Kelly now with #Browns, I think Alex Smith #1, Geno Smith #2 his top QB options. Think Colt McCoy could work as backup option too.

What Chip wants in QB (based off Oregon Off): Decisive, short-area quicks,ball placement in mid-field/seam throws. Doesn't NEED speed (Vick)

This lol, if you look at Mariota I would've completely agreed that he is an Alex Smith clone. galko knows whats up.

this move basically means Cleveland wasted that pick on Weeden, have to wonder what they can get for him but definitely it won't be a 1st

All the people saying Geno Smith to Cleveland, check Geno's rushing stats. Surprisingly immobile, even as soph in more zone read system

Can Richardson play well in Chip Kelley's offense? He seems like a much better fit in a traditional pro-set offense.

cleveland has some good young talent on offense, greg little, trent richardson, josh gordon.

LeGarrette Blount played 1 or 2 seasons in and played fairly well. If Richardson is anything like he is supposed to be he can adjust.

Also to the person who said NFLN said a story about Kelly staying college you got it confused with the report that UW Head Coach Steve Sarkisian has declined all NFL offers and wishes to stay at UW.

Chip may opt to keep Dick Jauron - he kept same DC at Oregon - but he'll be clear that it's his team and D will deal with his tempo

counter-productive to what our team wants. LMJ is perfect for the pistol/read-options. I'd rather draft Stepfan Taylor or even Eddie Lacy if we want a new power back.
