PHILADELPHIA (AP) — In the end, Chip Kelly chose the NFL, giving the Eagles their guy.
Philadelphia hired Kelly just 10 days after he decided to stay at Oregon. The 49-year-old Kelly, known as an offensive innovator, becomes the 21st coach in team history and replaces Andy Reid, who was fired on Dec. 31 after a 4-12 season.
He’ll be introduced at a news conference Thursday at 1:30 p.m. at the Eagles’ practice facility.
