Chip Kelly played us... BAD

[Drifter]

Chip Kelly = Steve Spurrier



I hope....

I'm a little disappointed.

I guess that puts me in the minority - based on what has been written here.

The thought of Chip Kelly as the Browns coach was exciting and scary. He is highly intelligent, innovative, and different. He is a very demanding coach. His Oregon teams were fun to watch. I think he gets the most out of his players.

I think the idea that he "played" us is a little overblown. He had a level of personnel control that he wanted. He was in a position to walk away from the table and go back to a good job. My guess is we are all a little envious of that power.

The reasons I thought Chip Kelly would be a good fit with the Browns are simple. A very young roster. A team without a clear identity. A sports town starving for hope. Kelly would have brough a level of excitement and attention Cleveland sports hasn't seen since the day LeBron walked out the door.

Ultimately - I hope the Chudzinski hire works out for the best. I won't rationalize it to the point of being happy with it. It still feels like the Browns "settled" for someone they didn't really want.

I wont say Chip played us...it shows you how desperate the Eagles are IMO and that something bad is happening to Oregon soon...

Chip heard the best from the Browns and the best from the Eagles and what did he do, he decided to go back to Oregon which was a smart decision.

now a week later the Eagle are struggling at landing a HC. All the other teams in the league are getting their guys and the HC market is starting to dry up. I think the eagles were starting to panic that they prolly came at chip and gave him a crazy contract.

Im glad the Browns didnt. Would I loved it if the Browns got chip? hell yes but I really love the Chud hire more because he had the ability to bring in a better OC and DC and Chud fits our talent better. It would of been fun see what Kelly could of done but I think Chud was the better and safer pick! GO BANNER!

I love it even more because Chip might of took the better contract because sanctions are going to hit the program. Usually when bad sanctions hit a program it usually gives its players a free year to transfer. I say Oregon and Chip Kelly run the best spread offense in the nation, who runs the second best spread offense in the nation...Urban Meyer and tOSU!!! Hopefully we can get their commits for the recruiting class and possibly steal a couple transfers

I really didn't think we got played considering that this news has come well after we've already given up on Kelly. While I initially thought we failed to get him a couple weeks ago, the fact that he was going back to Oregon all the way until now kinda makes me believe he is just extremely indecisive.

Two things.

1. Chip kelly can suck it.

2. I like chud mlre cause he will bring in VETERAN voordinators who have been.successful. He already brought in the offensive one.

Pro sports teams are businesses. It's hard to fault the guy for trying to put himself in the best position, regardless of how skeezy his tactics are.

I like that we didn't wait out for Kelly and instead pulled the trigger on a very encouraging backup plan. Haslam gets this stuff. He may not come off as the most fiery owner (Cuban), but he understands how things work in business. The guy adjusted and now there's a whole thread about Chip Kelly being a [inappropriate/removed].

Contrary to most CLE based radio stations, I think this shows more business savvy for the Browns than ineptness.
