Comments on: Browns claim they walked away from Chip Kelly http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/06/browns-claim-they-walked-away-from-chip-kelly/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 18 May 2013 20:28:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: j0esixpack http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/06/browns-claim-they-walked-away-from-chip-kelly/#comment-2237869 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 13:35:37 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1640065#comment-2237869 I’m not sure I believe Cleveland on this, but it’s for the best. With the right personnel I expect Kelly’s schemes could work in the NFL, but getting the right players depends on more factors than simple college recruiting.

If they said they walked away, then they walked away…there’s no “claimed”. Do you “claim” to be a sports reporter?

I mean obviously a gimmick college coach would out wit a Billionaire corporate chaiman of one of Forbes top 35 largest private companies who somehow bought a team that wasn’t for sale and stepped down as CEO to run it.

He did well in Baltimore and time just caught up to him. No different the Reid or Smith. He’s a leader and would breath new life into Cleveland. I wish Phil Emery would take a good look at him. As of now there’s no word on a front runner for my beloved Bears.

His offense is not sustainable in the NFL and the man could care less about defense. He’s never coached complete teams and is AWFUL at in game mgmt. NFL teams need coaches to coach entire teams in all phases of the game. That’s most definitely not Chip Kelly. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t jump to the NFL though. Oregon is going to get hammered with NCAA sanctions for recruiting violations. No way anyone flips 13 players on natl signing day within the rules.

Seems obvious Kelley and Dunn were playing around and Haslam got tired of it. He surely has a Plan B, C, and D up his sleeve. This didn’t pan out, but he’ll get someone of quality on the sidelines. Lerner is gone people, give Haslam the benefit of the doubt.

Whether he was considering the Eagles or another year at Oregon is irrelevant.What is so hard to understand?

He’s about to be hit with recruiting sanctions.

—————————————————
Interviews are done to learn whether or not this is really the guy we want. The Browns learned he isn’t. They don’t owe anyone an explanation about what went wrong, in fact such an explanation would be poor form. They handled it well and I’m personally pleased he’s not coming to Cleveland.

I think it is the right call anyway, Kelly might wind up being a good NFL head coach if he brings in the right co-ordinators, because his system won’t work long term in NFL. QB takes too much of a beating over time.
