Chip Kelly will never get another NFL offer.

 

Can I get odds on this?

 

I think his interviewing all over the place, on top of the forthcoming NCAA sanctions, are going hamper him in recruiting.

 

I haven't heard of possible sanctions yet, can I please get a link?

I think its a humongous ego adjustment to go from GOD on the Oregon campus to highly-regarded employee (with no track record) of the ownership and front office.

 

The other thought is that he may need total control of personnell to be able to work his magic and he found out that only the elite are handed that coming in the door in the NFL.

Not that I was feeling bad about our selection of Marrone, but this piece of news has made me feel a whole lot better.

Sure.

 

Face it. Chip Kelly just got cold duck feet.

I have to give credit to the Bills FO.

 

If this was 3 years ago we would have waited for Chip to make his decision and then go from there.

 

Now, the Bills sensed hesitation and decided to move forward with their (and most other teams) second choice.

 

Smart move by Russ and the Bills FO.

 

Now we can look at addressing the rest of the coaching staff while the other teams have to play catch up.

Neither did Kelly. He openly went to interview with Philly after Cleveland.

 

 

 

Absolute nonsense.

 

There is no loyalty in the NFL to other teams or owners.

 

Wade Phillips refused an owners order, resigned, and then was a head coach again a few years later.

 

It doesn't matter how bad you "diss" a team. If you're a hot name, you get called.

 

Yea....like Nick Saban.

I think the FO was actually prescient on this. Of course, we don't know how the interview went; however I think that it is telling that there was such an accelerated hire time frame (and apparently an early morning decision) after meeting with the candidates late last week.

 

I would like to think that the FO took advantage a few teams' preoccupation with Chip Kelly's pyrite and made the move in the midst of their misplaced enchantment.

 

I don't know about y'all, but I love my Bills so I'm going with that.

I don't know why you would ever leave college to be a NFL coach. Kelly has it made at Oregon. He gets recruits simply because of the school and Nike. He has all the power in the world. Why chance being a failure at the next level?

I don't know if I can dislike Kelly for this. He interviewed, asked for the moon, and when the dust settled, decided it was better for him to go back to Oregon, where he gets top recruits and pay thanks to Phil Knight's money. And there might be sanctions against him, so he's possibly going home to face the music, unlike a weasel like Pete Carroll.

 

As for the Bills being able to hire Marrone, the lease brought major stability to the franchise, while surprisingly Brandon and Whaley are getting good pub around the NFL.

It's all about a new challenge at the highest level with the opportunity to prove you're the best at what you do.

You definitely can't fault Kelly at all. The man can call his shot and if he doesn't like the offer, he can go back to being a god in a state with a college team with unlimited resources.

Here's my scorecard on the Marrone hire vs the Gailey hire:

 

2010: Bills interview 3 coaches, are turned down for numerous interviews, everyone knows who they're interviewing and when, Bills settle for Gailey

 

2013: Bills interview 5 coaches, are turned down by no one, no one knows when the interviews took place, Bills hire their first or at worst, their second choice

 

Like night and day.

 

I'm thinking Buddy Nix had a very small role in this weeks events.

 

I think your right. This could show the NFL's opinion of Buddy.
