Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly is tired of being asked questions pertaining to his potential interest in the vacant coaching job at Florida.
Kelly’s name has circulated as a potential target for athletic director Jeremy Foley to help turnaround a program left stagnant in the SEC by Will Muschamp.
The former Oregon coach who won 46 games in four seasons with the Ducks vehemently denied all interest when asked Wednesday in prep for Sunday’s game against Seattle. Philadelphia’s 9-3 this season and leads the NFC East:
HC Chip Kelly: Florida hasn’t contacted me. And if they did, I wouldn’t listen. It’s false. I think false things are silly.

Kelly said that he wouldn’t be interested if Florida did contact him. Called the rumors “silly.” … “Any football questions?” — Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) December 3, 2014
