Chip Kelly Didn’t Push to Keep Coaching Gig: Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie
I think yesterday was his first day that he really showed, I think, the best way to put it is: That looked like C.J. Kelly’s ego would seem to be the kind to declare, “I can make that guy succeed”. “I’m the owner, the GM”, he said.

A&M fell 19-7 in its regular-season finale at LSU on November 28, and things went downhill from there. Just a few days after starting QB Kyle Allen announced he would transfer, backup Kyler Murray announced he was leaving for Oklahoma. Texas A&M was not an SEC member while Petrino was at Arkansas, but the Razorbacks and Aggies played three times in those years, with Petrino’s team winning all three games in 2009, 2010 and 2011. “Obviously we didn’t agree with it.

This one is going to be interesting. They had six games with three or more giveaways and coughed the ball up 16 times in the final seven games. Two potentially good teams square off in a downer of a bowl game. The Louisville Cardinals are 7-5 and 6-6 against the spread. The Cardinals also are looking for their third win in their last four bowls.
