Chip Kelly is fine as the Eagles coach, and would prefer all the rumors of his return to college football just go away.
Amid speculation Florida would reach out to the former Oregon and current Philadelphia Eagles head coach to gauge his interest in a return to the college game, Kelly laughed hysterically at such a thought.
Chip: My whole mantra is be where your feet are. I'm right here, and I'm not concerned about anything else. I'm very happy being here now.

Calling the Florida speculation “silly,” Kelly said Wednesday that he has not been contacted by UF regarding their vacancy.
“And if they did, I wouldn’t listen. It’s false. I think false things are silly,” Kelly said.
Kelly had an 18-month show-cause that resulted from the NCAA’s investigation into his former Ducks football program. That show-cause expires Christmas this year.
