Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has been fired by the team, making him free to pursue other jobs this offseason. Whether it be an NFL or college job, here are the five most likely landing spots for Kelly this offseason or in the near future.

5. Miami Dolphins

Based on how the end of this season has gone for Miami, it's not likely Dan Campbell is going to be hired as the Dolphins' full-time head coach. With this job, Kelly would get a lot of control over the roster and he would have a quarterback in Ryan Tannehill who has the skill set to run his offense. With a couple more weapons added to the offense, Kelly could flourish in South Beach.

4. Cleveland Browns

The Browns haven't given Mike Pettine a great chance to succeed, but they might be done with him already after this season. It wouldn't make sense for Kelly to jump to Cleveland unless they offered him complete control over the roster, so he could turn things around. Of course, he would also get to work with Johnny Manziel, which could potentially turn his career around.

3. Indianapolis Colts

After this disaster of a Colts season, Chuck Pagano is likely on his way out of town. Andrew Luck isn't the traditional quarterback that Kelly would want in his offensive system, but he played against him in the Pac-12 when he was coaching at Oregon and has to be salivating over the prospect of having him on his team. Indy might be the best job on the market this offseason and Kelly is one of the top candidates on the market. That could mean the two sides come to an agreement.

2. Texas Longhorns

Charlie Strong hasn't been fired at Texas yet, but it sure seems like the boosters want him out. Perhaps Kelly's dismissal from the Eagles will speed up their decision-making process in regards to Strong. If they can come to an agreement with Kelly, it could make sense for them to show Strong the door and usher in a new era in Longhorn football.

1. Tennessee Titans

This job makes the most sense by far. It's also almost sure to be an open position within the next couple weeks. Kelly worked with Marcus Mariota in college and would love to shape his offense around him. Of course, Mariota perfectly fits what he wants to do offensively and with a couple more weapons, Kelly could turn the Titans into contenders within a couple years.
