No offense taken at all. I understand it sucks, trust me, weve been there. Oregon has a solid foundation and will be just fine. Do you think they will really promote the OC to the Head Coach like they said they would if Kelly left?

Personally I think it would be the safe guy to go with. I wouldnt mind seeing them test the waters too though.

Yea, Philly must have met his demands. Plus seeing how the option is working in the NFL had to make him a little antsy to get there. Name Heif immediately and get Coach Cam out to Dontre's.

I just looked outside. It's sunny, the river is still running, and there are people sharing stories and laughing. The world goes on.

This shouldn't be completely surprising. The Eagles position was still open and clearly they wanted Chip. Now they have him.

Oregon football is much more than any single person. The AD will execute the plan to replace Kelly and we will move on. We may see a few hits in this year's recruiting class, however, we will have an awesome 2013 and get back on track with recruiting in 2014.

Good luck Chip! Thanks for coming west and helping move Oregon football to the next level. Next man up! Achieve the goal! A National Championship!

this is kinda funny ...

Larry Scott joked that Chip pulled an option keeper when choosing to stay at Oregon. Turns out that fake was better than anybody thought..

We had ton's of Wiffs with Kelly, now we'll have lots of decommits and very little time to fill the new holes up. Recruiting wise this sucks. Coaching wise this hurts, hopefully Helfrich can manage. Best of Luck to Kelly, great coach, poker player, car buyer that he is.

Less than top 25 class here we come, possibly less than top 30.

It's a state university and the head coach is an employee of the state. We have to follow the law regarding the hiring. The law says at least one minority has to be interviewed for the position. The AD also said he was ready to do a nation wide search when coach Kelly was interviewing initially with the Browns and Eagles.
In reality, I think it will take longer than our fan base would like. It is one of the most desirable coaching jobs in the country. I'm sure we'll be fine.

I gotta go make some money and chase the paper. That's my reality.

It is a state of Oregon Rule

Interview Cam and Pellum this morning. Or the whole staff for that matter. It's a stupid law, with an easy way around it.

Big props to the state of Oregon.

I don't think so. It's a stupid law and does nothing to promote diversity, which I'm all for, but forcing it only keeps that racial line divided.

Question is does he keep Vick or go after another QB? Vick has big time health issues.

Yeah that's what I think. He sees it working in the NFL and he doesn't want everyone else stealing his thunder on something he thinks he's the best at. I would have a hard time with that if I was Chip too. He could have handled this better, but it's really hard for me to be seriously pissed at him. It sucks for him though that he'll never get to use his hot tub.

I won't be surprised to see Vick there for a year while CK looks for someone more permanent. I won't be surprised in Darron Thomas ends up a Eagle, and also if they draft Scott from Arizona.
