Crazy, wonder if he will draft his Oregon Qb now.

Dennis Dixon is a free agent

And I am now much less enthused about Joe Philbin.
Great hire for Bucs if accurate -
SC is very excited by this new I imagine.

Chip Kelly will be another in a long line of great college coaches who can't cut in the NFL.

The St. Petersburg Times has confirmed a KGW-TV Portland report that the Bucs are in the process of finalizing a contract to make Chip Kelly of Oregon their next head coach.
Many were skeptical of the story when it first appeared on the KGW-TV website, but beat reporter Rick Stroud confirms it's legit. Per Stroud, the sides are hopeful a deal will be completed "in the next 24-48 hours." Kelly met with Bucs management last week. Similar to Pete Carroll when he left USC for the Seahawks, it's believed Kelly will be or is currently being investigated for NCAA violations. He may be bolting just before Oregon is hit with sanctions.

I like Philbin but I would have been so much more excited to have Chip Kelly....oh well, we shall see what happens.

Well, hearing Kelly has had a change of heart and is staying in Oregon, which imo, is the right move.
I don't think his concepts will work full time in the NFL imo.PSG likes this.
