So is there where they reach for Geno to run this offense?

geno smith is not an option qb...he doesnt have great speed and is not a great runner at all...if hes successful in the nfl its going to be throwing from the pocket and learning how to read defenses and blitzes

think culpepper or aaron brooks when you think geno...not vick...kaepernick....or rgIII

McLane says Chip will probably switch the D to 3-4

and Lovie is out for DC consideration.  He's gonna sit on his ass this year and try for a HC spot again next year

Didn't Alex Smith run the spread option in college?  :paranoid

geno smith has 117 rushing yards in the past two years.  he's not a running qb

those numbers are misleading in that he didnt have to run in college....he will be a running qb in the nfl like donovan was a running qb but to think he can run an option offense is a huge stretch

But a league source told CSNPhilly.com's Geoff Mosher that the Eagles and Kelly maintained contact in the coming days and that talks between the two sides "heated up" in the 24 to 36 hours preceding Wednesday's bombshell announcement.

After he had reentered the mix Kelly again became the organization's top choice, ahead of Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who would have been offered the job if Kelly had remained out of the picture, the source said.

"We were that impressed with [Bradley]," the source added.

So close.... :boom

So basically Kelly had his ego stroked and then went back to Oregon and didn't want to commit until he saw another serious candidate emerge.  Now he just sounds like a diva bitch.

If they were that impressed with Bradley, they wouldn't have let him leave town without a contract.

Looks like the "smartest guys in the room" are, in fact, right here at :CF.

Time will tell. That said, on the surface of it, there are not a lot of compelling reasons to like the move. Do I think Kelly is a good fit? No. Does he have a track record of success in the the NFL? No. Do college coaches tend to succeed in situations like this? No. Do I trust the people making the decisions? No.

Nope. Not a great feeling right now. I hope they knock it out of the park, though.

Like most have already said, it seems to me that this will turn out to be at best mediocre, at worst a disaster.  Basically, they're replacing Andy Reid with... Andy Reid Lite.

We'll have to see how it turns out, but right now it's my stomach that's turning.

Sgt PSN

Yeah, it's not like I'm rooting for this to be a disaster (I don't see it really ending any other way though) but there is absolutely nothing about it that gives me a warm and fuzzy. 

I definitely don't like how the whole thing went down and Chip Kelly looks like a flakey douche bag right now.  He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me like a lot of other coaches might have.  SB by 2015 or gtfo.
