Chip Kelly canceled a recruiting trip to Sacramento related with a deal that would make him Chief Coach of the NFL franchise late Sunday night. So, now Kelly who has led the Oregon Ducks to Pac- 10/12 titles the last three years will be staying at Eugene.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tried to be optimistic that Kelly’s sudden change heart indicated the good deal at the end. Mark Dominik, the Buccaneers General Manager said,” His heart is with college football and Oregon and he’s no longer being considered.”
Kelly was being offered to take over the fired Raheem Morris duty as Tampa Bay’s coach and Kelly agreed attempting to finalize a deal.
But after the story broke nationally on Sunday night, Kelly seemingly changed his mind. So now the man who has coached in the three BCS games in many years will back to his focus on Ducks and the looming February 1 national signing day. However, it shouldn’t disappointing the Buccaneers because they already have interviewed at least 8 candidates, including Former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Sherman, Former Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress, veteran NFL coach Marty Schotten Heimer and former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, who has since taken the Miami Dolphin coaching Job.
Wade Philips, the former Dallas cowboys coach also included in the candidates list. But he cancelled an interview with Tampa Bay to concentrate on the Texan’s play off game with the Baltimore Ravens last week.
