Chip Kelly says he will stay at Oregon

Oregon football Coach Chip Kelly announced Monday that he’s remaining with the Ducks, though he says he was flattered by the interest shown in him by the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“I enjoyed meeting with the Glazer family and General Manager Mark Dominik, but after numerous discussions, I concluded that I have some unfinished business to complete at the University of Oregon,” Kelly said in a statement released through the school.

Oregon Athletic Director Rob Mullens said Oregon granted Tampa Bay permission to talk with Kelly.

University spokesman Dave Williford said Kelly was on a recruiting trip and unavailable for comment.

Kelly is 34-6 at Oregon and has three conference titles in three years.

The Angels are one of four finalists to acquire free-agent reliever Francisco Cordero, his agent said, but it is unclear whether they are recruiting the veteran right-hander as a closer or setup man.

Cordero, 36, is a three-time All-Star who was 5-3 with a 2.45 earned-run average and 37 saves in 43 chances for the Cincinnati Reds last season, and he has been a closer for the last nine years.

The Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays are also pursuing Cordero, and agent Bean Stringfellow said the reliever is expected to make a decision “by the end of this week.”
