Do you find yourself rooting for the Eagles now that Chip Kelly is coach?

    I root for Kelly and the Eagles. There is some sort of attachment to Oregon football (as fleeting as that will be) and more importantly it is fun to watch.

    Hell no. I root against the Eagles even harder than I did when Vick was the only reason to hate them.

    I don't particularly care for the way Chip handled his departure, but his success in the NFL will only help the Ducks in recruiting, so I'm hoping he has success.

    How else would you recommend he depart? I was convinced before he left that if he left, it meant a bowl ban would be included in the sanctions handed down by the NCAA. Now, I'm convinced that the bowl ban was taken off the table because he left.

    I was completely prepared for him to leave after the final game of the season. He had interviews set up, he was as good as gone. He spent a week meeting with the Eagles, the Bills, etc and then he said, "no I'm going back to Oregon." I thought, okay, that's cool. At least one more year of Chip. I'm okay with that." That lasted a week and then he signed with Philly. It was uncool to use the Oregon team and fanbase as a bargaining chip to get a better deal after everything the university did for him.

    He was a nobody. They plucked him out of a tiny college and made him a star. How does he repay them? He publicly says he wants to stay and then a week later he leaves. That's just really lame in my opinion.

    This is what annoys me about the situation. He flip-flopped more in a few weeks than John Kerry during his presidential run.

    Kinda the opposite for me lol. I had been losing interest in NFL at a (just slightly) slower pace than NBA. I got bored with the "Run up the middle, run up the middle, run up the middle, Punt" game the NFL had become.

    Chip Kelly's way to play the game has helped contribute to opening up the game on multiple levels IMO, and has made it watchable for me again.

    I read this part alot, (Not just from you) but I still havent seen anywhere, where Chip publicly says he wants to stay. It was leaked by UO officials even that Chip was staying. But I still cant find something where Chip is talking about it, in that 10 day period.

    Not saying you are wrong. I just personally have never seen/heard it from the horse's mouth
