Rumor: USA Today says the Bills are one of the 3 teams Kelly will interview with

[X-Era]

It's stated as from a source:

Ian Rapaport and WGR and merely repeating this

[DraftBoy]

Not speculation, being picked up by multiple outlets.

I already fixed it

Land him OBD. Spiller would be insane in a Chip offense.

[Blame Canada]

Chip is this regime's first choice going into the interview process. There is some familiarity- Chip visited Bills training camp last summer.

The fact that the Bills are getting him to interview is good news for Kelly fans. Going into this they knew they would make an effort but were not sure he was interested because he had been so mum on anything NFL.

Make no mistake that the real reason Whisenhunt and Horton interviewed before Chip is because Chip would not interview before his bowl game (thursday night) and the Bills needed to get started on back up plans.

Unforunately the Bills are not the only team who has Kelly atop their wish list.

whoaaa it's Blame Canada! a REAL insider!!!!! Thanks man.

What are the chances they land Kelly and how about any interest in Cowher, Gruden or Holmgren?

[Don't Panic]

Great points BC and slim. The league is definitely changing, and having an innovative offensive mind will help keep us at the forefront of those changes. I think Kelly would have an easier time finding a QB than many others, and I am confident he could bring a quality DC in to balance out the staff. I hope we are able to convince him.

Any info on other candidates such as Smith and Reid?

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

Article says bills, browns, eagles.
philly may be his choice but Foles is the starter now there at qb and is not going to get dumped, and perhaps does not fit a Kelly offense. Browns are crappier then the bills so bills may actually have a chance of these three franchises

[Raptor]

Thank You Buddy Nix!

Lets be clear, this interview in the interest in this job was no where near this 3 years ago. The major reason why the complete 180 has taken place is due to the overhaul of this roster and the talent added by Nix

big props to him

[capitolneal]

and the bills qb to fit chips system is?

Thank you for taking the time to come here and post this. You don't have to do it, but it's MUCH appreciated that you do.

...or choice 4: he decides to stay at Oregon.

[TerrellOwensSharpie8]

Let's hope the guy wins tomorrow night, he won't want to end his time there with a loss......

[madness]

Highly unlikely. Boosters want to run him out of Oregon.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

Highly unlikely. Boosters want to run him out of Oregon.

Why?

[Slim]

Why?

Probably because he's been flirting with leaving the program for over a year.

[madness]

Why?

Not a schmoozer at all and doesn't let boosters get all-access privileges.

"A number of substantial Oregon football boosters, many of whom requested anonymity, expressed a widespread annoyance with Kelly. The coach with the highest winning percentage (45-7, 86.5 percent) among BCS conference coaches is at odds with many of those closest to the Oregon program. Although most would agree Kelly is an extraordinary coach, he doesn't care much for the many other obligations that come with his job."

Another Oregon alum, Jack Roberts, told Locanthi, "Some of the college boosters have gone as far as to say, 'I hope he does leave so we can get somebody who appreciates the fans.' "
An anonymous source told Locanthi the relationship between Kelly and boosters is strained:

"As revolutionary as Chip has been on the field with the no-huddle offense, he's been more revolutionary in how he acts toward social functions."
