The 5 Worst Decisions Chip Kelly Made With the Eagles

“What they’ve done there, it’s never easy with coaching changes midseason”. Lurie also won’t be hiring a new general manager, meaning Roseman and recently promoted Tom Donahoe will be tasked with assembling the Eagles roster. “I just think schematically, there were things we could have done different, obviously”. “No other guys in the league go from April through the end of the season”.

Chip Kelly’s tenure in Philadelphia ended unceremoniously with one game remaining in his third season.

The Browns were playing the Steelers that day and guess what – that is whom they finish with this Sunday. Pierre-Paul, who blew off a couple of fingers in a fireworks accident during the summer, has just one sack in seven games.

Chip Kelly may be out of a job, but he has a supporter in Bill Belichick. Unless somebody from another phase of the game hits a home run in interviews, this is likely the way the Philadelphia Eagles will do it.

The Browns settled on Chud, and then a year later decided on Pettine.

“Players don’t like him!” said Hall of Fame wide receiver and former Eagle Cris Carter during his interview on Mike and Mike. On the plane back from Providence, reports leaked that DeMarco Murray had a discussion with Lurie.

He was the talk of the NFL.

Where this leads is going to be a fascinating part of the search for Kelly’s successor. Philadelphia gave Kelly more power prior to this season, also making him the head of football operations and in charge of personnel decisions. It now seems pretty apparent that Kelly’s up-tempo offense has a tendency to kill his defense. During the 2015 NFL Draft, the Eagles were proposing a trade with the Titans to move up in the draft to pick the 2014 Heisman Trophy victor.

Lurie said he wants “someone who interacts and communicates very clearly with everyone he works with”.

Jacksonville just retained Gus Bradley. As most people know, Belichick is a man of few words and doesn’t waste time with the media on anything he doesn’t want to.

Remember “black Monday” is coming up.

One Kelly out doesn’t necessarily mean another Kelly wants in.

“I know Chip’s an excellent football coach and I really like him, ” Ryan said.

I have ranted for quite awhile now that the Browns need to fire GM Ray Farmer.

I am not sure if I am in favor of hiring Chip Kelly in Cleveland. I think all good coaches have tremendous attention to detail in this league.

“It was a clear and important decision that had to be made”, Lurie said at Wednesday’s press conference, a day after he released Kelly, a former Manchester Central player and UNH offensive coordinator, from his contract.
