Chip Kelly: 'I wouldn't listen to a call from Florida Gators'

Kelly: 'I wouldn't listen to Florida'

Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly has stated that he has no interest in leaving the NFL, having been linked with the vacant college job at the Florida Gators.

Kelly was with Oregon before making the move to the professional game, and a switch back would be surprising considering the job that he has been doing with the NFC East side.

The Eagles currently sit top of their division with eyes on a playoff spot, having beaten the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day last week.

On the Gators job, he told reporters: "Florida hasn't contacted me. And if they did, I wouldn't listen. It's false.

"I think false things are silly. My whole mantra is be where your feet are.

"I'm right here, and I'm not concerned about anything else. I'm very happy being here now."

Kelly also declared that his goal in football is to win the Super Bowl with his current team.
