Chip Kelly fired

[Beast_from_East]

He has two bad years

2014.........No playoffs
2015..........No playoffs

When you are a team who misses the playoffs in the NFL its a BAD YEAR

We have missed the playoffs 4 out of 5 years under Red....................and we are told its just bad luck.

I'm actually surprised they pulled the trigger and decided to hire him after one bad year. He had two 10 win seasons under his belt, that should have bought him another year.

The Eagles should have just stripped him of his personnel powers.

Some organizations recognize a mistake and move to correct it

Others keep wishing on a star

Oooh. At first I see that as cold blooded, but I don't think the players care.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Couldn't have happened to a better person.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Gruden went 4-12 in his first season. He didn't out coach anyone last season.

Something about this post sounds really familiar.

 

[fredp22]

anyone know the best Eagles board? I want to see what their thoughts are for new coach. I hope its not Payton

 

[LucaBrasi]

Why are people biting their nails off about this?

He would cost draft picks. By all means, do that.

Very good offensive coach. Could care less about defense.

Lol couldn't happen to a better franchise... they should put McGagg on the search committee

Reports in Philly say that Lurie had decided to make some changes in the org structure again and wanted to take total player personnel power away from Chip. He discussed this with Chip, who balked, so Lurie eventually sent him packing.

We have missed the playoffs 4 out of 5 years under Red....................and we are told its just bad luck.

And we're also told he only has ONE losing season

You mean some franchises don't consider this all just entertainment and actually expect results?

I am shocked.

The franchises in the smaller markets consider it entertainment. 26-21 after 3 years in Tennesse or Jacksonsville would be GREAT lol

Very good offensive coach. Could care less about defense.

If the Eagles are willing to pay a Gruden-type ransom for Sean Payton, please, do so.

 

[Sydla]

I've got bad news for you
The Eagles have a talented roster and a real HC/OC will make Bradford into a real QB
I would much rather Chip stayed

IMO the Eagles just got better and we are stuck in neutral with Darth Vader and his off spring

Their roster isn't that talented. They need a major upgrade to the OL. They need secondary help again. WR is weak. They now have too much money locked up in TBs.

 

[Staubacher]

I see you giving me a panic likealanche after this news.

Relax, Amy. I'm no Jeffrey Lurie. I honor my commitments. You're a special broad. No one will ever split up you, me and my parents.

Fitting that you turned this Philly thread into Silver Linings Playbook.

 

[viman96]

What about Cleveland? Chip likes Johnny.

 

[Frozen700]

You know who needs to be.next

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

So after 2 10 win seasons and one bad one he gets fired. 3 8-8 1 12-4 and a 4-12 Garrett gets a pat on the back? Haha wow

expectations are higher in philly

 

[Alexander]

Expectations are higher in Philadelphia

I don't think the trogs in Philly are capable of setting real expectations in an intellectual fashion.

They just yell a lot. And cheer when they hear the theme from Rocky.

 

[CCBoy]

Wait, isn't this the coach who signed Murray to be his lead dog and kept him on the bench, because his scheme was most important?

 

[Deep_South]

This is bad news. Chip Kelly got rid of those great skill position players who were very scary on game day, and spent a fortune to sign a running back who didn't fit his offense -- an offense that could get a three and out before the defensive players had a chance to grab a drink of Gatorade. He will be truly missed by all of the Cowboys, Giants, and Commanders fans.
