So the Eagles call this morning and sweeten the deal.

Stuff happens.

Well, there goes my 2013 National Champion pick.

However, I am really excited to see how Kelly does in Philadelphia. I really do believe he'll have success. A lot of people forget that Oregon throws the ball a good bit too.

Kelly's offense with Vick, Jackson, Maclin, McCoy. Could be very interesting if they can somehow stay healthy.

He was making in home visits with recruits two days ago weeks after reports came out that he was staying. It's absolutely surprising

It's just that all these major coaches are liars; but also if the money or situation wasn't right t first of course he's going to act like he was always committed if he doesn't think he's leaving, he doesn't have much of a choice. He was just waiting for the right offer

I find it interesting that everyone is ignoring the Eagles' role in this as they express their outrage over the timing.

I started this same thread on the coaching changes board I almost posted it here but I thought it would've been moved over.

Are minor coaches honest?

Apparently Chip never told his assistants. They found out on twitter and from reporters

Kelly already told Oregon of his desire to go to the NFL. That's why they already had a succession plan in place. I don't see why people are talking shite about him here. He got a promotion.
