Arrelious Benn just tweeted it was a bad source.

However, Adam Schefter stated they are active in talks and it could happen within 24-48 hours

He could realistically bring in Darron Thomas and LaMichael James to run his offense.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly is reportedly nearing a deal that will make him head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to KGW TV in Portland. KGW Sports@KGWSports KGW's Michael Berk reports Chip Kelly is working to finalize a deal that would make him head coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs. More on KGW

sanctions looming?

James yes, Thomas no. Thomas entered the draft because he knew he wouldn't be the starter next year. Oregon fans will be on suicide watch if Chip actually leaves.

Bringing in Thomas to be a backup wouldn't hurt though

True

Maybe they will hire him then trade Kelly to the Redskins. Tried the Fun n Gun ... Why not the fishduck offense?

My first thought. They are coming for sure, he may know they are going to be more severe than anyone expects though.

 

[Buffaloes]

Is he going to bring his video game offence with him?

 

[Grimace59]

I wouldn't necessarily say there's sanctions coming to Oregon because Chip is leaving. Chip is Iike a Bellicheck clone in his personality. The guy is married to football, and I'm sure would rather spend his time working on game plans and coaching rather than recruiting players. Chip just seems more likePro coach rather than a College coach.

 

[Rodeojones]

Someone on twitter (don't remember who) stated if Kelly left, Chris Petersen (BSU) would be the Ducks #1 candidate.

 

[Grimace59]

Espn reported Peterson as the top choice also. Guys has major ties to Oregon, coached 95 -2000 there.

 

[Sea Duck]

Moneygrab, pure and simple. But his personality will be good for the league. He's a walking quote machine.

 

[Premier]

According to Mark Dominik, he's staying at Oregon.

According to Mark Dominik, he's staying at Oregon.

ESPN reporting the same

Sounds like they had an agreement in principle, and Kelly changed his mind.

I'm for one am glad...didn't seem like a great fit to me...but what do I know.

Oregon's recruiting class has been called out by several in the last few weeks though...currently ranked in the 20's by most sites. Odd after your first Rose Bowl win.

 

[RavenLunatic]

i bet it was leaked to gauge reaction and put Oregon on notice. sounds like Billy Donavan and the Magic

 

[Donsmith753]

As a Freeman owner I'm praying for an offensive mind rather than defensive.
