Yeah it's not official. But pretty sure it's inevitable and every source out there says it's very close. Guess we'll see in the next few hours.

For integrity purposes, we should change the thread title to "Sources:" or "Rumor" etc. until it becomes fact. I logged in, read the thread title and believed it

ie. 3 days ago, Andy Reid was "definitely" going with Arizona.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly and the Cleveland Browns wrapped up seven hours of meetings Friday that were characterized as "very positive," though Kelly informed the Browns that he would proceed to interview with the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles, according to team and league sources.

Kelly interviewed for five hours with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner before they took a break and had a two-hour dinner. The sides agreed to talk again Saturday night after Kelly's interviews with the Bills later Friday night and the Eagles on Saturday.

While sources say Kelly has positioned himself as the favorite to become the next Browns coach, there is no contractual agreement in place. However, the two sides see no significant obstacles that would prevent a contract being completed if they decide to move forward Saturday night, the sources added.

Kelly informed Haslam and Banner that he wanted to "go through the process" by meeting with the Bills and Eagles, something he regretted last hiring season when he only interviewed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source close to the Oregon coach.

Browns’ courtship of Chip Kelly possibly includes a favor for his agent

Posted by Mike Florio on January 5, 2013, 6:21 AM EST

Perhaps as stunning as the news that the Browns are close to a deal to make Chip Kelly their next head coach (we won’t not believe it until someone says it’s 95-percent certain) was the Friday night report that Browns CEO Joe Banner has informed quarterback Colt McCoy that he will be in the plans of the next head coach.

Of course, McCoy reportedly got the news more than a week ago, at a time when it wasn’t clear who the next head coach would be. Indeed, if that’s what McCoy was told more than a week ago, the news came at a time when the Browns still had a head coach in Pat Shurmur.

So on the surface the information simply isn’t credible. (We’re not doubting the reporter; we’re doubting that the “source in the Browns’ organization” told the reporter the truth.)

And now we have a possible motivation.

"We won't not"

I have to say that was tough to read and process for me!
