Chip Kelly to the NFL?
This will be interesting if true. Jim Harbaugh looks like the real deal, but most of the top college coaches that have gone to the NFL have been huge flops.

Report: Oregon coach Chip Kelly close to deal with Bucs

Posted by Mike Florio on January 22, 2012, 8:23 PM EST

Two days ago, we pointed out that a college coach could come out of nowhere to fill one of the four remaining coaching vacancies. More than a week ago, a man who coached two of the teams currently looking for a new head coach (former Buccaneers and Colts coach Tony Dungy) told PFT Live that Oregon coach Chip Kelly would be a good NFL coach.

“Chip knows how to motivate people,” Dungy said. “He thinks outside the box.”

Now, KGW-TV in Portland reports that Oregon coach Chip Kelly is close to becoming the coach of the Buccaneers.

“Kelly is in the process of finalizing a deal that would make him the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” Michael Berk of KGW Sports writes. “A source close to the situation said Kelly will make the jump to the NFL if he can come to terms on a contract.”

Look for Kelly and the Bucs to deny it until the Bucs can supply Kelly as the coach of the team. Otherwise, Kelly’s incoming recruits will face a barrage from Oregon’s competitors regarding the possibility that Kelly won’t be the coach when the new class of players start their second year with the school.

Kelly would be strupid to take an NFL job. He is basically Nike's poster boy and has it made in the shade at Oregon. Dude's got it as good as anyone in college.

Harbaugh made sense because of his history, utilization of the pro-style offense, personality, etc. Kelly makes ZERO sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if Oregon's about to get smacked and he's looking for a way out of there.

Thats the only reason I'd see him leaving. His style has no chance of success in the NFL, they couldn't have had more than 10 different plays they ran.
