At 3-8 with a coach that everyone assumes will be fired at seasons end, rumors are going to circulate.

While all rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, the latest one should be of interest to Eagles fans who are hoping their team goes after Oregon head coach Chip Kelly.

Because according to one report, they have already started.

Pro Football Weekly recently published an article compromised of quotes from NFL coaches, scouts, and front-office personnel. Here is what one of them had to say about the Eagles' pursuit of a new head coach.

"I’ve heard talk about (Eagles GM) Howie Roseman already meeting with (Oregon head coach) Chip Kelly," said one of Pro Football Weekly's sources. "Obviously, there are no rules preventing a GM from talking to a college coach during a (school) visit."

Again, all rumors should be taken as just that- rumors. It's hard to believe that Roseman would meet with Kelly considering that Andy Reid is still the head coach. It's also hard to believe that Kelly would take a meeting with his team 11-1 and preparing for a bowl game.

Still, Pro Football Weekly has been right before when it comes to the Eagles. They were one of the first to report about the bad blood brewing in the Eagles front office before Joe Banner left. Whether or not they are right about this report remains to be seen, but it certainly is interesting if they are.

Either way, Eagles fans should get used to these reports. Until Reid is gone and a new coach is in place, the off-season is going to be filled with speculation, rumors and reports.

But with the way the team has been playing recently, that might be the better alternative.
