Rumors out there that the University of Florida will be calling

Stay away, Gators.

Rumors out there that the University of Florida will be calling

Stay away, Gators.

Some "insider" was being interviewed by the local sports radio station and he was asked about this, and his answer was that Kelly loves the NFL lifestyle and that there was no way he wants to go.

Couldn't tell you who the guy is, and I'm sure his opinion doesn't matter anyway.

[Diomedes]

Why would Kelly want to go back to dealing the the NCAA and to begging children for commitments?

[General_Failure]

Dump trucks of money and better job security are pretty good motivators.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I doubt Lurie would let him go.

He'd probably let him bang his new young Asian wifey to keep him here

[Diomedes]

Better job security?  Don't they fire coaches in college football all the time, too? 

And what, he's not getting enough money from the Eagles?

I have a hard time seeing what's so great about it.  I guess you can set yourself up as King of some podunk college fargtown for a while, but that's boring and lazy.   And not necessarily secure.

Pretty much.

[Eagaholic]

Behind the scenes Chip will egg on these rumors as soon as he thinks he should get a new contract from the Eagles.

Yes^
All you have to do is look at the crappy ratings that college football got on Thanksgiving when they, for some reason, were dumb enough to go head to head with the NFL.

College is a step (or several) back for Kelly.  No chance he returns.  None, zip, nada.
