WATCH: Tennessee fan digs up clip of Oregon coach Chip Kelly praising Tennessee, Neyland Stadium

The Chip Kelly to Knoxville rumors are starting to heat up.
The Tennessee Volunteers suffered a humiliating 41-0 loss to Georgia on Saturday, and it was the latest in a string of disappointments under head coach Butch Jones. It was the first time the Vols have been shutout since 1994, and Tennessee fans look ready for a change at head coach.
Jones will have a tough task the rest of this season, but many fans have already made up their minds on his future. One fan even changed Chip Kelly’s Wikipedia page to list him as the new head coach of the Vols.
Matt Scroggs also dug up Kelly’s comments about Oregon’s visit to Neyland Stadium and shared the video on Twitter. Kelly labeled Neyland as a “tremendous place to go play a game” while serving as head coach of the Ducks.
Here is look at all of his comments from 2010:

Kelly has coached for two different NFL teams since that time, but he remains without a job. Speculation continues to mount on whether or not Kelly will indeed return to the college game.
