Chip Kelly fired

[reddyuta]

to be fair the Kelly he never the type of QB he wanted ,would have interesting if he landed Mariotta .

This is just so awesome, BTW.

If this was Lurie's decision I am shocked. If it's Chip leaving and they're just making it appear like a mutual or team thing, I am not surprised. He seems like the type of gutless weasel who would bail.

Perhaps, but it's hard to figure. The guy gets full control, makes a bunch of moves, then bails after less than a year? Doesn't make sense.

 

[Risen Star]

Hmmmm. Would bring the right amount of ******-factor.

Just a guess. Lurie has a fixation with the Patriots. Maybe pluck a Belichick disciple away from him. I highly doubt he'd look the college route after this.

 

[dogberry]

Did he have any money left on his contract?

 

[Picksix]

He took big risks that made no sense, he had to make the playoffs to satisfy those moves.

Somehow Garrett is still here though.

Well sure. It's not like Garrett's been given much control. That rests with the guy the owner/GM sees in the mirror every day.

 

[Risen Star]

I will miss laughing at his offense in the NFL. That was just comical. He was a bigger boob than Spurrier.

 

[Picksix]

Obviously. Chips winning percentage is higher than Reds.

Not his playoff winning percentage.

There was something weird going on in Philly from day 1 this year....to many odd calls....to many outlandish player issues to think he really cared to win. Make no bones about it, Chip Kelley wrecked the Eagles to get fired and go back to College.....

Not shocked at all.....don't think his heart was ever into coaching in the NFL.... He left College cause Philly through crazy money at him and the NCAA was gonna levy fines on him and Oregon.... Now he is free to go back to College

Come on Texas Longhorns......step up and get real coach..

'Horns don't want his circus, either.

Chips agent has been back channeling since November. I am sure there is a 2016 scenario in place. They did talk to USC.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Wait, how did this happen? I thought Jimmy was advising him during the offseason? And Jimmy is never wrong.

Comcast Philly guys talking right now about this news - "We all got duped!".

 

[mattjames2010]

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.

The problem I think comes from his blockbuster trade in FA spending spree like he was going all in.

Got rid of his three biggest playmakers and a QB that had an unbelievable 2013 season and thought he could replace all of that in a single offseason. I just didn't understand his decision making.

 

[Cmac]

Eagles will grab Sean Payton if Giants don't

 

[JDSmith]

BTW, where are all of the media guys who were swinging from Kelly's jock all offseason? I hope some of them admit they were completely wrong, and that the guy they all tried to convince us was a genius was just another gimmick college coach. Somehow I doubt it.

'Horns don't want his circus, either.

man they got a big enough circus act with Charlie Strong....Love to see Texas make the run for Chip......

 

[The Natural]

You can trade coaches like in the NBA right? For a 2017 7th rounder they can have Jason

 

[Risen Star]

at the end of the day, chip was just too much of a genius for this nfl.

They just didn't understand him.

 

[Cmac]

His pink slip came early via FedEx..lol

...then you mean it was a day late and the tracking order said Pending.
