Chip Kelly reportedly at the top of Browns and Eagles "wish" list

Why would an NFL team want Chip Kelly? He runs the freaking Urban Meyer spread at hyper tempo.

That will never work in the NFL, will it?

Rich Rodriguez tried to bring that offense to Michigan from West Va.

That Up tempo spread crap has ruined the college game. I can't imagine it will work in the NFL, let alone Cleveland.

Maybe Jeraimiah Messoli (sp?) can replace Weeden,

I think Chip Kelly is a GREAT college coach.

If I could have anyone in college -- it's either Kelly, Saban, or Urban Meyer.

I guess because Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh have worked out so well from the Pac 10 -- that helps him? Harbaugh uses tight ends and fullbacks like it's still the 1970's and Carroll is pro style.

If the forward pass was outlawed -- Oregon would have won every Pac 10 game in the last 5 years by 30 points or more.

If all of those stupid sweeps and reads that gash Pac 10 defenses work in the NFL, I will be shocked.

Meyer is the best coach in NCAA football. Not even close.

I think the idea is that he developed this offense and recruited players tht fit its strengths because he is a sharp guy. The assumption being that he can adapt an offense that fits to the NFL and whatever teams players he winds up with. I dont think anyone expects him to use this exact offense in the pros.

Nick Saban was a terrible NFL coach. He is a far better dictator/recruiter type coach which works at big SEC schools but doesnt work so well when there is a pesky salary cap and no ability to stockpile talent.

That's a type logic that I don't believe in.

People generally aren't that versatile until they prove that they are...and he hasn't proved it yet.

The NFL is about passing the football. No matter what they pay him, I doubt he gets the respect of the players.

No matter how bad Saben might have been in Miami -- and I think they went like 1-15 when he left -- he is a guy that does it NFL style on both sides of the ball.

Harbaugh and Carroll were NFL guys for a longtime though

I wouldn't be surprised if Chip Kelly would leave Oregon. They'll probably be going on NCAA probation in 2013 or 2014.
