Buh Bye Chip!!

[86WARD]

The Philadelphia Eagles have fired coach Chip Kelly.

The team made the official announcement on their website on Tuesday.

“We appreciate all the contributions that Chip Kelly made and wish him every success going forward,” Eagles CEO and chairman Jeffrey Lurie said.

Kelly went 6-9 in his third year with the Eagles. He was 26-21 overall in his career.

Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will serve as interim coach for the team's Week 17 game against the New York Giants.

Kelly should go back to college.

Very well deserved.....

He's probably the only coach I wouldn't want to replace Cool Shades

Eagles fans are throwing a party tonight.

Titans can now get Chip Kelly without compensation

Of all the various potential hypotheticals regarding the future of Eagles coach Chip Kelly, he never had been asked by the media about becoming the coach of the Tennessee Titans.

Now, Kelly has a clear path to Nashville, if he wants it. And if the Titans want him.

With Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie doing on Tuesday night what many national media members had said Lurie wouldn’t do, Kelly is now a free agent, able to be pursued and hired by the Titans or any other team. And the Titans continue to make the most sense, especially since they don’t have to give up a thing to get him.

With the Titans, Kelly would be reunited with quarterback Marcus Mariota, whom Kelly recruited to Oregon. Last year at this time, Kelly was raving about Mariota, technically in violation of league rules because he hadn’t been certified to enter the draft with remaining eligibility. Kelly then tried to trade up to get Mariota, but the Titans wanted too much.

Now, the Titans can have the coach who runs the system for which Mariota is a perfect fit.

While this year’s struggles could make the Titans leery about Kelly, he gives them something they’ve lacked for years: Relevance. And he could help give them wins.

Consider this — Kelly was viable in Philly despite a revolving door of mediocre quarterbacks, from Mike Vick to Nick Foles to Mark Sanchez to Sam Bradford. Despite not having consistently strong play at the most important position on the field, the Eagles won 10 games in 2013 and 10 more in 2014. With Mariota as the centerpiece of the team, things could turn around quickly under Kelly in Tennessee.

Much will surely come out about why Lurie decided to move on. Maybe Kelly tried to make another power play. Maybe Lurie told Kelly that, if he’s not the G.M., Lurie will hire one. Or maybe Kelly simply wanted out and figured out how to do it without putting the Titans in position to have to compensate the Eagles.

Regardless, if Chuck Pagano is going to be a commodity in the coming coaching carousel, Chip Kelly will be, too.

Gee, maybe we'll get lucky and the Rooneys will come to their senses and hire him to replace Tomlin. Then we can watch him jettison all our best players and turn the team into a complete dumpster fire like he did in Philly! After all, we need a change, right? And change is good! Yay!

[stillers4me]

Or maybe Haley or Munchak gets a call...........

[86WARD]

Kelly was an asshole. No one in the organization supported him from the players, to the front office staff, to the novacare staff, all the way down to the bottom...except for Lurie. I saw a rumor he could go to Miami. With his track record, I doubt he stays in the NFL...id be surprised actually.

Ugh....

Pretty amazing how a dude basically alienated the entire league against him. That takes special talent.

They can have Haley. Pennsylvania boy Munchak needs to stay

If that's what you want, please take Reggie McKenzie off our hands. He's good at getting rid of good players and replacing them with scrubs and has beens.

Kelly should go back to school. Only future he has in the NFL is as a coordinator or the guy that washes the towels.

[86WARD]

I've changed my mind on this a couple times...I think he could comeback as a humbled head coach somewhere with zero say on personnel...

The Chipper going to the Niners :lol:

[polamalubeast]

WTF!!!!

[salamander]

Wow. Chip needs to go back to the college ranks.

[86WARD]

Very interested to see what he does with Karpernick.

[ALLD]

The 49ers must be high or desperate. No way I would want that guy to coach my team. I thought there was enough drama from Harbaugh to warrant a more moderate selection. When the Browns do something wiser you need a gut check.

[SteelerFanInStl]

And the stupidity of the Niners continues.

[Steelman]

Like I said before, way to jump from the pan into the fire.

Isn't this the same organization that got all butthurt by Jim Harbaugh's "abrasive" personality and more or less kicked him out because they couldn't handle the situation? Then you throw an unready Jim Tomsula into the cauldron and when he inevitably fails you hire...Chip Kelly?

Makes total sense!

[86WARD]

In all seriousness, they should bring in RGIII to back up Kaepernick and Kelly could teach the two of them from Day One the offense.

[NCSteeler]

The 49ers are being cheap. Chip went in there and convinced them he could fix Kapernik.
