I've read rumors that go both ways...some say the deal is as good as done, others say they are just vetting him early because he's the only guy without a current coaching job that they're looking at.

I definitely prefer Scott frost if possible, but I wouldn't be upset with Chip Kelly at all. He'll be able to recruit and fix the offense. He will also have access to more defensive talent than he's ever had, but I still hope he brings someone with a good resume to be the defensive coordinator, I wonder if charlie strong would come back to coach the defense.
