Chip Kelly's move from Oregon to the NFL may force the defending national champions to start a job hunt. Alabama offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland has been offered -- and is expected to accept -- the same job with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Tidesports.com.

Stoutland's two years as Alabama's OL coach have resulted in back-to-back national titles. He came to Alabama from Miami in 2010, and enjoyed a $395,000 salary last season.

The loss of Stoutland could be crucial considering that the Crimson Tide is losing three offensive line starters in tackle D.J. Fluker, center Barrett Jones and guard Chance Warmack, as well as, blocking tight end Michael Williams.
