Chip Kelly takes Philly job..

If a college coach is speaking, he is lying. These college coaches can't really admit they are interested in going pro because it will affect the recruits they do or do not get. If you recruit a top kid and then he hears you're heading pro, many may change their minds. So if you wind up staying at that job you may cost yourself some prized recruits. Crappy system. And then I think some just do it as a bargainning chip to get more money or an extension from the school.

But they can change their mind from what I understand if their coach who recruited them leaves? Am I wrong?

Not sure when the signing date is but they had some kids here in Diego on the news that were going there and are now looking at other options.

And he's getting paid.

The Philadelphia Eagles made Chip Kelly one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL, giving him a five-year contract worth $32.5 million, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The lucrative deal, which is worth $6.5 million annually, was a crucial factor in Kelly's decision to join the Eagles after originally deciding to remain at Oregon, according to the source.

That and the recruiting violations. You think Phil Knight couldn't have matched that scratch?
