Head Coach Chip Kelly Decides To Stay At Oregon, Says No Thanks To Buccaneers

After being offered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coaching job, and working on a contract to finalize the deal, University of Oregon head coach Chip Kelly has had a change of heart and will remain in his current position, Adam Jude of The Register-Guard reports. "His heart is with college football and Oregon and he's no longer being considered," Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik told the Tampa Bay Times on Monday. Kelly's decision puts the Buccaneers in the position where the person will know that they were not the first choice for the job, and that the person the Buccaneers wanted had zero NFL coaching experience. The Buccaneers have interviewed longtime NFL assistants/coordinators such as Jerry Gray (Tennessee Titans), Mike Zimmer (Cincinnati Bengals), Rob Chudzinkski (Carolina Panthers), Joe Philbin and Tom Clements (Green Bay Packers) were interviewed, as were former NFL head coaches Marty Schottenheimer, Brad Childress and Mike Sherman.

I think it sure feels like Chip Kelly's beating the posse out of Eugene if he takes the Tampa Bay job. After it seemed like he'd be leaving Oregon for the NFL, Kelly may have had a change of heart about joining the Bucs. If he does turn down the job, I'm told part of the reason is that the news of Kelly's possible departure leaked, killing his recruiting efforts.
