Eagles Fire Chip Kelly

[47th oG]

Does Chip stay in the NFL? Where does he land?

Chip can coach in the NFL. Chip should not be making personnel decisions in the NFL.

He's in Austin and wearing burnt orange by the end of next CFB season. Chip is the big name hire Texas wants and needs. Read today about how the Longhorn Network is hemorrhaging money and fan support has also waned. Chip can coach in the NFL but I think he's too arrogant to do it w/o the power to make his own personnel decisions. I also think this stint in Philly was bad enough that NFL teams avoid him like the plague this offseason.

As bad as the moves he made were, and most were awful, if you're gonna give him full control you can't fire him after just one year, that's not fair

This I agree with. Lurie went from being convinced to give a relatively unproven pro coach control over his roster.......to deciding it was a bad move, in less than a year. I think Chip had it in his head that he was going to run a hurry up, spread-type of offense very similar to what Bradford and Murray ran at Oklahoma. What Chip fails to realize is college kids have much different motivation than professional athletes do.

I don't think it has as much to do with motivation as much as it has to do with the fact that you can't just take players with some talent, plug them into a system and have it be effective like he could do in college. It takes good players with a system built around their skills to be successful in the pros. It's difficult to just pick and choose athletes for a system in the pros because the talent pool is much more limited whereas in college he's got a nation of high school athletes to pick from. Oh and Ryan Mathews or Shady McCoy were better fits for his system as well.

I figured he wouldn't be fired this year because there's no way the CEO/Owner would be willing to admit his mistake this quickly, guess I was wrong

As soon as they signed Demarco I was shaking my head. Made zero sense for them to bring him in when they have guys like Sproles and (eventually) Mathews that were perfect fits.

 

[Bugsy]

Should of been fired a long time ago.

 

[Lynch Mob]

I change my prediction...

Next Titans head coach.

Chip was an absolute joke. He did pretty solid in his first season, but then after that he started to ruin the team.

That's what happens when you give a coach too much power

 

[Pumped Up Kicks]

He literally had more power than he deserved.

& that's what happens
