Chip Kelly Fired

[mooby]

I'm enjoying how bad this makes Jeffrey Lurie look, is he really so impatient that he couldn't wait a week and do it on Black Monday? My only disappointment is that we won't get to see the regression continue into next season for the Eagles.

Mara is an ass*ole.

Jones is an egotistical blowhard.

Lurie is just an overall mess. Can't think of a particular term for him.

Snyder = best owner in NFC East with best team in NFC East. Yeah buddy!!! HTTR!!!

LOL. The owners (including ours) are as bad as the rest of the NFCE this year!

A fish rots from the head down.

Kind of surprised at the Kelly firing. He had two 10 win seasons, and i thought if nothing else, he might be forced to give up personnel decisions so that he could stay on. I felt like he had a decent offense when it showed up, plus a good QB in Sam Bradford. I wonder if Bradford stays when they get a new coach??

Coughlin will be asked to retire, if he doesn't agree then the ax will fall.

Nope , it's already kinda out there that the coaching tree is safe unless he choose's to retire but the Team likes everyone and Mcadoo and Spags have a strong bond.If one gets the head job the other could very well stay the one in danger is Jerry Reese .Had the Giants been able to just make a stop on any of the last drives of the eight loss's say , Carolina , Cowboys ,Patriots you know what would be happening .Fact they didn't the Skins are the Champs of the east and that is the fact.Giants need a Defense and a tight end their salary cap is very good ,look to see them active in FA .

Giants are definitely the team most likely to get things going in the right direction, along with the Redskins. They need to shore up the defensive side of the ball. It won't take all that much to make enough of an improvement on defense to support Eli and OBJ. They will do plenty of scoring.

Basically the Jeffrey Lurie told Kelly he was taking away personnel decisions and hiring a GM. I think the owner expected him to agree to this, but Kelly balked leaving him no choice. I think the reason they didn't wait until after the season was because by Monday they want to start looking for a GM. While you can say Kelly the coach did well, Kelly the GM was god awful.

Apparently, Kelly was asked to give up personnel control, and he balked. And Lurie showed him the door.

No humility. None. And there will be players all over the place trashing him, I will bet.

I wonder whether the Titans hire him to work with Mariota.

It is up to Chip if he wants to stay in the NFL or go back to NCAA. There are too many NFl teams that need a good coach and Chip is a good coach.
Tennessee Titans have his favorite QB and a fan base that will probably love him.

Its tough to call him a good coach. He may be good x and o...jury out imo, but he doesn't handle professional athletes very well and he alienated his locker room.

Plus the whole GM thing, he has proven to be effing terrible at that. No NFL team will give him personnel control every again.

This is exactly right. He's a bad NFL coach, but a good NFL offensive coordinator. Offensive coordinator's job is to call plays and put players in position to succeed on offense. NFL head coach's job is to keep the team together, oversee the operation, motivate, delegate, and lead men. Kelly was bad at all of the things required of an NFL head coach, but great with all of the things required of an offensive coordinator.

And he was an even worse GM.

This is the college HC pitfall. In college, a stellar head coach can have near god status for his players. He can improve scholarships, he can nearly control their lives. In the NFL, it's a job. You don't mess with their health, their pay, or the lifestyle. Kelly stated frequently that he didn't focus on players health, he certainly tried to control their lifestyle, and just didn't understand the pay system very well, imo.

His ego is too high for him to make another run at the NFL, and I don't think he will be back. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see him sit out next year then cherry pick a college team to go to.

[calia]

But will he put his ego aside and just coach instead of handle personnel? He wouldn't do it in Philly, although he could have perceived that as a demotion of sorts, and perhaps different than starting out without those duties with a new NFL team. He wants to follow the Parcells, "If you're cooking the meal, you should get to pick the groceries" model. But as I think we all know, chip Kelly is no Bill Parcells.
