But Oregon players ain’t mad. The early reaction from Chip Kelly’s players tells you a lot about the way he ran his program -- you could call the reaction surprise, but there doesn’t seem to be any bitterness just yet. It likely helps that the Ducks already pretty much know who’s taking over the program next, too.
Chip Kelly leaving Oregon: Ducks players react, declare Philadelphia Eagles fandom

Thanks for everything coach Kelly! It's been real!

"@mikedupradiocom: Good for Chip Kelly, his arrogance deserves to be in the NFL. #Eagles" what an uneducated statement #usc #LAmedia

The culture here is set. If you wanna work, this is your place. The winning will take care of itself. Best of luck coach!! #GoDucks

You can be upset, but if you're not truly happy for Chip after what he's done for this program, you're not a true duck fan.

As for Oregon’s likely next coach? The welcome mat has already been laid out:
