Eagles coach Chip Kelly says link to Texas job is ‘just speculation’

[madinmaryland]

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said Monday that he hasn’t talked to anyone about any other job despite his name being brought up about the now vacant University of Texas job.

He called the numerous reports linking his name to the job as “just speculation.”

“I really don’t know,” Kelly said, via ESPN.com’s Phil Sheridan. ”I haven’t talked to anybody. It’s just speculation. I haven’t spoken to anybody.”

Kelly said he understood why reporters needed to do their job and ask the question about the Texas job. Kelly left Oregon about four seasons last year to take the job with Philadelphia.

Bidding war between Harbaugh and Kelly in Texas.

1. I can't see him leaving right now.

He's doing way better than expected with the Eagles, having them contending for the division title in what was supposed to be a five or six win rebuilding year.

Of course, money talks and Texas is a big time program but the NFL is the NFL. He's not a Spurrier type, he can compete in this league.

We'll see.

2. Hairball says he's not interested, so cool your jets:

5. Personally I love Chip Kelly today -

thanks to him my Packers have their hopes alive for another week. No thanks to themselves yesterday - that was a gift from the Eagles.
