"Same thing," Kelly said. "No., I am not involved in any college jobs. I've said it before. The same thing happened a year ago with Florida. I have great respect for all of those schools."
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly denied reports that the University of Southern California met with him to discuss its coaching vacancy before the school hired interim coach Clay Helton on Monday.
Kelly says his time is spent trying to right what is wrong with his team.
After two 10-6 seasons as head coach of the Eagles,Wholesale NBA Jerseys China, the team is 4-7 with Kelly now in charge of personnel and having remade the roster. That,cheap jerseys elite, and being on a three-game losing streak,Wholesale Basketball Jerseys, has led to a lot of speculation about his future.
The coach said his agent did not, either.
"I wasn't even in Philadelphia on Friday, so that's wrong," Kelly, who said he was in his native New Hampshire when the supposed meeting took place. "I haven't met with them. I haven't talked with them. I haven't had any conversations with them."
"I have never spoken to anybody from USC. I have never emailed anybody from USC," Kelly said,Wholesale Jerseys USA, "I never had a phone call with anybody from USC. I never had any contact with anybody from USC."
"I've been totally committed to the Eagles since I got here on Jan. 16, 2013," he said, "and that hasn't changed."
"A lot of times we just chuckle and laugh. ... It's kind of sad that anyone can just write whatever they want or say whatever they want, and it's taken as the truth. It's the world we live in. But if you sit there every day and combat everything that comes out, you are wasting your time."
Kelly said all of that comes from outside of the NovaCare Complex where he goes to work every day.
Kelly, in his third year with the Eagles after a very successful run in the Pac-12 with Oregon, addressed the issue at his regularly scheduled news conference.
One report said people from Southern California actually met face to face with Kelly in Philadelphia on Friday,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, the day after his team played the Detroit Lions in Detroit.
"No I really don't," Kelly answered when asked if he thought the college coaching rumors affect his team or its play. "Because there are so many things that are written nowadays it's ridiculous. I have no control over what people write or say. I can't control any of that. |
