Eagles have fired Chip Kelly

Philadelphia Eagles let go of Chip Kelly - NFL.com

Thank you football Gods for the stability of the Belichick coaching staff.

 

[Marqui]

Wow

 

[Dr Pain]

Manning is behind it trying to fill the news with something else. Too bad, I feel he was getting a bad rap with the racism claims this summer. The Eagles were interesting.

 

[Joey007]

Why are they saying released like he's a player? Are they trying to say "we just fired Chips ass" in a polite way?

 

[XLIX]

The only surprise is that I think it is strange they did it before the final game, instead of the Monday after.....

 

[SONS_OF_BELICHICK]

WOW....he wont be out of work ..long...a good college program will pick him up....

 

[RobertWeathers]

His teams got progressively worse. Can't do that in the NFL.

I'm a Pats fan living north of Philly. Everyone here was thrilled when Kelly was hired. "They" said he would revolutionize the NFL, that BB wasn't half the coach that Kelly would be. And now, the Eagles didn't even wait until this season was over to jettison him. I feel so giddy!

Everybody wants to pick the groceries, but in the salary cap era, price matters, and Chip never figured that out.

You can't trade a mediocre QB making next to nothing for a mediocre QB making $13M while also signing DeMarco Murray for twice as much as anyone else was offering and giving ridiculous contracts out to middling talents like Byron Maxwell.

It's not college, where you collect the most talent and win before the game starts. Chip would have been fine if he stayed coaching, but he took on more than he could handle, and way more than he could even begin to understand. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a second chance later like Pete Carroll, paired with a proper GM.

There was a meeting and words were said.

Chip isnt the type of guy who just hangs around and has a string attached to his limbs.

He'll get better. Lurie's lost his mind.

That's where he will end up. Mark it down.

In all honesty, the Titans not only have Mariota but also have a couple potentially good receivers. He would probably want a better RB than Andrews or Sankey, though Cobb is there I think but injured.
