After Jim Harbaugh and Doug Marrone leaving their old teams in the last few days, college coaches are looking less successful than they were just a week ago. And if twitter is to be trusted, Eagles head coach Chip Kelly may be trying to force his way out, too.
With the Falcons interviewing the likes of Marrone and Detroit's one year defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, trading a draft pick or two to the Eagles for a more proven coach may make sense.
The rumors are sketchy, at best, but may give Arthur Blank the proven(ish), big name coach he is looking.

Back at Oregon people have heard how upset Chip Kelly is and how he wants out of Philly w/3yrs left on his deal, can he rattle enuff chains?

Report: Tom Gamble's firing could result in "something big" taking place with the Eagles http://t.co/91O9T6zlfU pic.twitter.com/QDqdcpZPkx

Lots of speculation, with something likely to happen in the next few days.
If Kelly is indeed available, potentially through trade, would you want to see him land in Atlanta?
