Both Kelly and the Bucs are proceeding down a path that they mutually hope will result in an agreement in the next 24-48 hours.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly is finalizing a deal to become the Bucs head coach, sources confirmed to the Tampa Bay Times Sunday

He covers the Bucs for the St. Petersburg Times.

Oregon may be the one job Petersen would take...as long as they don't have upcoming major sanctions.

Tampa Bay Times now confirming the rumor and citing their own source:

and Schefter just confirmed as well.

As NBC in Portland, Ore. reported, Chip Kelly and Bucs are involved in active contract discussions. Kelly interviewed with Bucs last week.
​

There is reason for OU fans to be concerned.

The ducks are ****ed.

A couple points:

1. College cannot compete with NFL $. The buyout is not an issue.
2. Anywhere can be a nice place to live with enough $$.

Some probably can. Easily.

Pay back is sweet, correct?

Pretty much any nfl insider is running with the story right now.

Talks between Oregon HC Chip Kelly and the Buccaneers are said to be "active." Both sides trying to get it wrapped up within next 48 hours.

Not in the least. UT is the biggest college AD and they're not in the same zip code as an NFL team.

Tampa Bay is a middle of the road NFL team in terms of valuation. Their revenue is over $250 million a year and the owner, Michael Glazer, is worth $2.6 billion.

$5 million is chump change for them.

Chris Petersen says hello Eugene if it happens.

Chris Petersen says hello Eugene if it happens.

If that happens, we're more likely to poach from Boise State than Oregon.

I hope they steal Wilcox and Lupoi from UW

 

[You Assholes]

I hope they steal Wilcox and Lupoi from UW

That would be hilarious.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Pay back is sweet, correct?

No

 

[SuperD]

Hilarious to search 'Chip Kelly' on twitter and see the number of posts from folks assuming this means Oregon is about to get the NCAA hammer. The amount of interest in the job should be a pretty good indicator on the likelihood of that happening.

I know but my point is schools like Notre Dame etc have boosters who could probably easily match that should they decided to do so.

Holy **** eDuck is a mess and I am killing myself laughing. The resident douchebags/nega-ducks are screaming sanctions, there is a group of Duck fans who are having epic meltdowns and then there are people like me who are watching and laughing. Should be lots of fun quotes from tonight to use against my fellow posters down the road!

Like what? "Oregon coach is leaving for NFL"....

Castro just flipped his pledge from Oregon to UCLA...not sure if its related or coincidental timing.

Why would I be in denial or anger? Although I did just get one of my secondary handles for posting this and leaving it up to peoples minds.... (No idea why it deserved a ban).
