Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
I dont think its truly Kelly's fault the team underperformed but at the end of the day, it was his roster that underperformed. A lot of bad plays by a lot of good players caused this just as much as Kelly.
Oh well, onward and upward. At least he didn't guarantee playoffs and fail like some other new Head Coach this past season.

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
Funny management can't wait five more days and fire him after the last game. IMO...his biggest flaw was his failure to adjust, and thinking he could plug any player into his system and it would function.Originally Posted by GinFizz
Ok...that's two.

He has a winning record in Philly.. He should have been giving a bigger leash.

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
Ol' Chip never met expectations this season. His handling of DeMarco Murray had to have factored into this decision. You can't add the league's top rusher and then make him a bit player and not expect consequences.

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
It does seem short sighted on the part of management, but when Kelly demanded more say in roster personnel decisions he was essentially betting the house. Another NFL team will most assuredly try to woo him, and he can easily go back to the college ranks so he'll be fine.

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
I didnt watch a lot of Eagles games this year, but from the times I did watch I think Murray was the one who made himself a bit player. He really wasn't that good this year.

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
Matthews was a better for fit for their zone blocking scheme. Kelly should have known that.

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
Who will try and hire him?? Cleveland? Giants? Miami? N.O?

TEN w/ Mariota would seem like fit.

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
He may get hired in the NFL, but I doubt he gets the decision making privileges he had in Philly.
I expect him to get a big offer to go back to the college rank and he accepts. There he can be the "big man on campus" so to say all over again.

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
I'm glad we don't have to hear how wonderful Chip Kelly is...good college coach but not a man for the NFL
Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
why not? He had a pretty good offense the past two years. He made bad personnel decisions

Re: Eagles Release Chip Kelly
Offense wasn't overly that great...They were top 10 in his first season and now sit average-below average...They run too many plays and have zero clock management...people can sit there and talk about how many plays they run but forget the more plays you run, the more likely it is the play count runs up on your defense and that takes an enormous toll.
In terms of their offense, it has taken a dive since last year with "better playmakers". They did have O-line problems but that's not the entire fault of the offense. There is not diversity to the offense and it was quickly figured out this year. Only reason they've stayed competitive is their defense/special teams have been very opportunistic and generated a lot of their points. Overall, they have gotten worse in every major offensive category (except turnovers...those are 'improved'). He brought a college system highly focused on a dual-threat QB to the NFL and it worked somewhat decently in year 1 but was easily figured out this year.
