PHILADELPHIA -- While Chip Kelly decided to stay at Oregon

PHILADELPHIA -- While Chip Kelly decided to stay at Oregon, the Philadelphia Eagles had already moved forward. Air Jordan Schweiz. The Eagles took their coaching search to Denver on Sunday to interview Broncos offensive co-ordinator Mike McCoy after a lengthy meeting with Kelly a night earlier in Arizona. The team only confirmed its meeting with Kelly after it ended. Regardless, two people familiar with the decision said late Sunday night that Kelly will remain at Oregon. One person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Oregon and Kelly havent formally announced the decision, while the other person wasnt authorized to reveal Kellys plans. Owner Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman and team president Don Smolenski left Arizona for Denver on Sunday to continue the search to replace Andy Reid, who was fired after 14 seasons. They met with McCoy for a few hours and then headed back to Philadelphia. The Eagles plan to interview Indianapolis offensive co-ordinator Bruce Arians and Seattle defensive co-ordinator Gus Bradley this week. The 40-year-old McCoy engineered an offence around quarterback Peyton Manning this season. Denver went 13-3, secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and has a bye this weekend. The Broncos ranked fourth in the league in total offence and second in scoring. McCoy has been successful working with quarterbacks far less talented than Manning. Jake Delhomme went to the Pro Bowl in 2005 when McCoy was Carolinas quarterbacks coach. Kyle Orton had his two best seasons in Denver in 2009-10 under McCoys tutelage. In 2011, McCoy devised an offensive system around Tim Tebows skills and the Broncos won a playoff game. Philadelphia requested permission to interview Cincinnati offensive co-ordinator Jay Gruden, but the Bengals have yet to grant permission. The Eagles interviewed Penn States Bill OBrien on Thursday and met with Atlanta Falcons defensive co-ordinator Mike Nolan and special teams co-ordinator Keith Armstrong on Wednesday. OBrien is remaining at Penn State. Syracuses Doug Marrone was on Philadelphias list, but hes set to take over at Buffalo for Chan Gailey. There was plenty of drama surrounding Kelly this weekend. A person familiar with the situation said Kelly was nearing a deal with the Cleveland Browns on Friday before he went ahead with his scheduled meeting with the Eagles on Saturday afternoon. Kellys interview with the Eagles lasted several hours, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not authorized for release. Kelly also met with Buffalo after his first meeting with Cleveland. In the end, he stayed put just like last year when he nearly accepted a job with Tampa Bay only to change his mind. The pursuit of Kelly had a soap-opera element because Browns CEO Joe Banner spent the previous 19 seasons in Philadelphia, serving the last 12 as president. Banner and Lurie are longtime friends since childhood. But Banner was forced out of the organization in a power struggle with Roseman and Reid. Banner had a knack for rubbing people the wrong away in Philadelphia, and wasnt popular in the locker room because of the way he handled contract negotiations. Its unknown whether his reputation was a factor in Kellys decision not to accept Clevelands offer. Nike air max jordan 4 schuhe weiß-licht blau. Too bad they did it in 2012. Back in the summer of 2007, the Raptors had a little bit of money to spend on bringing a much-needed small forward to Toronto.

Louis this weekend that suggested that he would welcome a trade out of Toronto.TORONTO -- With the monumental task of restoring some pride to Toronto FCs season, new head coach Paul Mariner admits he cant get lost in nostalgia as his team plays the New England Revolution on Saturday at BMO Field. Mariner was an assistant coach for the Revolution from 2004 to 2009 before taking a coaching job Plymouth Argyle in England. He is now completely focused on the plight of Toronto FC -- a team that is still looking for its first win since he took the helm. "Every single game is a cup final for us," he said after the teams training session Friday. "Weve got to produce. It just happens its New England. Obviously all my friends have been there. I worked there for a long, long time." Toronto (1-10-1) will be looking for its second win of the season and first since Mariner replaced Aron Winter on June 7. Despite some encouraging signs in Mariners first two games (one loss, one draw), Toronto remains last in the MLS standings and is likely to miss the playoffs for the sixth straight season since debuting in 2007. With a two-goal lead entering the final 20 minutes at Houston on Wednesday, Toronto allowed the Dynamo to pull even for a 3-3 draw. Toronto players were still pleased with their effort throughout most of the game. The draw came after a 2-0 loss in Kansas City last weekend. "This whole trip was a positive trip," said midfield Eric Avila. "If we take those two well be a great team. The team feels real good. Its got a positive vibe. I think if we take that and continue onto the game on Saturday well be good." Toronto has shown a particular vulnerability on set-piece opportunities the entire season. In a Kansas City, poor marking allowed Julio Cesar to score off a corner kick. Houston scored its first goal off a corner on Wednesday. The squad spent time Friday working to address the problem. Nike air jordan schuhe kaufen "If we get a reputation of a team that gets scored on set pieces, thats not what you want," said Mariner. "We worked a little on that this morning. A set piece, its all about attitude." Meantime, three Toronto players who were arrested in Houston prior to Wednesdays game werent involved in Fridays training session. The club said they wont be involved in any way until all investigations into the matter are concluded. Miguel Aceval, Luis Silva and Nick Soolsma were arrested for public intoxication outside a Houston nightclub. While Mariner called the incident a "black eye" and a "thorn in his side," he said that ultimately it comes down to how the other players are affected by off-the-field events. With a shortened bench after the three were sent home, a point on Wednesday after a largely positive performance seems to indicate that theyve overcome the distraction. "Once we step over that white line everyone forgets whats happened and weve got to do a job," said defender Richard Eckersley. "Were doing it for the pride of the club and weve got to pick that up a little bit and start doing that (Saturday)." While Aceval, Silva and Soolsma were absent, goalkeeper Stefan Frei did make an appearance, chatting with some teammates after a light ride on the stationary bike. Frei has been out since March with a broken leg suffered in training. He isnt likely to return this season but has been cleared to do some light activity and is no longer on crutches. Mariner also said that defender Adrian Cann was expected to have an MRI on Friday to assess the damage to the knee he sprained in Kansas City. The Revolution comes into the game with a 5-7-2 record.
