Chip Kelly will become Philadelphia Eagles' New Head Coach

The Philadelphia Eagles meandering search for a new head coach is over. University of Oregon Head Coach Chip Kelly will become the new head coach of the Eagles, the NFL team announced today.

The Eagles have interviewed many candidates over the past few weeks after letting go Andy Reid, the 14 year tenured head coach. They talked to various college head coaches and NFL coordinators. Owner Jeffery Lurie and GM Howie Roseman even met with Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley last night. Chip Kelly sat down with the Eagles' management for a lengthy interview in Arizona early in their search, and was their top choice, but seemed to make the decision to stay at Oregon coaching the Ducks.

Kelly is 46-7 in four seasons at Oregon. He led the Ducks to four straight BCS bowl games including a BCS championship game losing to Auburn two years ago. Last year they were 12-1. He is known for his hurry-up offense and even consulted the New England Patriots on that style.

"Chip Kelly will be an outstanding head coach for the Eagles," said owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. "He has a brilliant football mind. He motivates his team with his actions as well as his words. He will be a great leader for us and will bring a fresh, energetic approach to our team."
