As if you needed more proof Eagles head coach Chip Kelly doesn't plan on returning to college anytime soon, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan is reporting Kelly recently bought a new house local to the Philadelphia area. Caplan revealed the following in a radio appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic:

"While its not a true indication that he's going to be with Eagles for years to come, was told Chip recently purchased a house."- @caplannfl — 975TheFanatic (@975TheFanatic) October 16, 2015

"Again, if you were looking to leave, why would you buy a house" - @caplannfl — 975TheFanatic (@975TheFanatic) October 16, 2015

A source confirmed to me that Kelly did in fact purchase a home in New Jersey.

Can confirm this report. Chip bought a house in NJ, per source. https://t.co/8sRwivGA9f — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) October 16, 2015

Recent reports have mentioned Kelly as a "leading candidate" for the USC coaching vacancy. There was also a report about Maryland being interested in him. Kelly shot down those college rumors during a press conference this week when he stated he hopes to "win enough [NFL] games to stay around long enough where [the college] speculation ends."

If Kelly's words weren't convincing enough, the fact that he's willing to invest a large amount of money into a new house should be a telling sign he plans on staying in Philadelphia.
