Report: Chip Kelly Interviews for Jags' OC Job

Former 49ers coach Chip Kelly, who was fired hours after the club's 2-14 season, is reportedly interviewing Monday to become the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive coordinator.

Kelly is interviewing with Jaguars new head coach Doug Marrone, reports radio station 1010 XL in Jacksonville.

Kelly told CSNBayArea.com recently he would take his time to determine his next career move. Kelly interviewed for the Jaguars' head-coaching job, ESPN reported over the weekend.

"I'm not going to close the door on any opportunity, but I have to be very smart in what I do next," Kelly said two days after his firing. "I don't have to take anything, but I wouldn't rule anything out. I need to make sure that I'm in the right situation.

"I don't know what the future holds. I'll do my due diligence. I'm not going to coach just to coach."

The 49ers fired Kelly with three years, $18 million remaining in his contract. The 49ers hired Kelly just two weeks after the Philadelphia Eagles fired him. Kelly went 26-21 with the Eagles after leaving his successful program with the Oregon Ducks after the 2012 season.
