This is interesting:
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and execs are headed back to Browns. Sources say they will reboot coach search without Chip Kelly in the fold.

With the Buffalo Bills having already hired Syracuse's Doug Marrone, this whittles the options down to two: either Chip Kelly is the next head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, or Chip Kelly will be returning to Oregon.
Philadelphia is a very attractive job. Its a traditionally well-run organization with a recent history of success, and have talented players, such as LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin, and Desean Jackson, that would be nice fits in Kelly's system. It is also a northeast location that would be closer to Kelly's roots. The could be hammering out the final details as I write this, and Kelly could be starring in a Philadelphia press conference tomorrow morning.
Of course, it also means that a return to Eugene has to be considered a legitimate possibility as well. And if Kelly turns down the NFL for a second year in a row, you have to wonder if he's at Oregon for the long haul.
