OT: Eagles release Chip Kelly

[Patjew]

Hire Chip as a consultant now and I guarantee we won't lose to the Eagles in SB50.

 

[Bill Lee]

Talk about closing the barn door after the horses have left!

 

[varjao]

No way in hell Josh McDonald will land in Philly when the Giants will have a head coach job available and he will be one of the top candidates for the job.

 

[Love The Drake]

Who says coughlin is gone?

 

[IndianPat]

BB must know that Josh is leaving after this year. It is unlike BB not to be grooming somebody within the organization to take his Josh's place after he is gone. I am not informative enough to know who that could be. That aside, I wonder how drastic the difference in offense would be if they brought in Chip Kelly as OC (hypothetically - very little chance of Kelly not getting another HC job immediately).

 

[Deus Irae]

Well, Chip will probably be getting a new gig in about a week or so:

Kelly also told Glazer he only wants to coach in his next stop and does not want to be the personnel man.

Chip says he’ll stay in the NFL, doesn’t want personnel control

 

[OhExaulted1]

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

He went 26-21 and missed the playoffs 2 years in a row. Remember when Pete Carroll went 27-21 for some club, made the playoffs twice and was fired and replaced by some guy with a 36-44 career record with 1 playoff appearence that the club gave up a high 1st rd pick for and subsequently started his tenure 5-13?

Just sayin', I've witnessed crazier things.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Chip needs to be the next Texas longhorn coach. Strong is not getting it done and Kelly would be a huge recruiter for them.

 

[varjao]

Who says coughlin is gone?

He's 103 years old and missed the playoffs for the 4th time in a row, team is inconsistent, putrid defense, I think Mara is going to clean house.

 

[Froob]

Alright coach, horrible GM. Why fire him with one game to go? Why not ride him out lol?

 

[Froob]

Lurie sucks. The Eagles suck. The situation there wasn't great this year, but I certainly wouldn't have freakin' fired the guy. It was his first year running the whole show for gods sake.

Two 10-6 seasons and one mediocre 6-9. I'd probably try to cut back on his GM powers and try to keep him for at least another year. Not sure if you can keep Chip the coach and axe Chip the GM.

I think he'll "retire" . Mara should allow him to leave with some dignity if Coughlin is willing to take that.

Sounds like that was part of the issue. They were like "hey Chip, will you maybe rein in your GM role a bit? Involve others some more?" And Chip was like "GFY"

Yeah that's tough, I can understand them doing it but I'd probably give him one more year. Feel like a lot of teams aren't patient enough. Guys have gotten a longer leash doing less. That Sam Bradford trade what the ****....Jeff Fisher should be arrested for that grand theft auto.

Yeah, I would've given him another year. But the whole dog & pony show there was getting irritating for everyone. He seemed to have clearly lost the locker room, so I guess it is what it is.

Also, the Rams ripped off Washington for RG3 and it hasn't really helped them much yet. They ripped off Philly for Bradford. Will it make a difference? Besides, Jeff Fisher probably already deserves to get arrested for worse things.

The meeting with Lurie must've gotten personal.

Supposedly it was done now to help create more options for the best candidates, as opposed to waiting until other teams are in the mix.

Suppose last game doesn't matter, Giants outta be a shoe in win now. Tuesday right in the middle of game planning.

Lurie is a problem. He lucked into Andy Reid and OK they never won and Reid had some issues but Lurie most likely canned him over bad free agent signings. Three years later and history repeats itself. Coincidence, I think not.

His big problem is thinking he could win championchips with the likes of Desean Jackson, Macalin, McCoy, and Foles.

All losers. Kelly was right to clean house.
