Bill Belichick ‘disappointed’ in Chip Kelly’s firing

Belichick’s remarks came when he was asked how much he follows coaching movement at this time of year.

Many also saw the two as similar personality types, in that they had to overcome a perceived arrogance for their coaching acumen to shine through.

“I’d say it’s really disappointing”.

“I handle the contracts, I negotiate the contracts, I recruit the players”, Kelly said.

“We as players didn’t do a good enough job”, Ertz said. It’s disappointing to see, you know, Josh [McDaniels] in Denver… “Pretty much everyone is one a one-year contract in this league”.

McDaniels, now the Patriots offensive coordinator, was sacked as the Broncos head coach in 2010 after 28 games, during his second season. Murray said he wanted to keep the conversation private and would not divulge who initiated it. He also did not speculate about whether Kelly’s ouster would help his chances of staying with the team. The Eagles are 6-9 after going 10-6 in each of Kelly’s first two seasons and winning one division title.

Bill Belichick criticized the Eagles for firing Chip Kelly, even defending his record as GM. Belichick took a shot at those former Eagles, without naming any names. “He does a great job and he’s done a great job with that team”, Belichick said, per ESPN. One could argue he is another in the long line of New England assistants that have failed to recapture the Belichick magic elsewhere. I’m not really a part of those programs.

“I still enjoy the guys on this team, I enjoy the city, I’ve enjoyed my time here”, Bradford said. To build that up over time, it doesn’t happen in training camp”, Belichick said adding, “It takes some time to go through that. Cameras, microphones and voice recorders pointed turned Philadelphia’s signal-caller as he began to answer the questions he knew would come. It wasn’t until 2003, Belichick said, that he felt his entire program had been installed. “We need to win the game, but we’re still measuring where we are”.

Connor Barwin was at dinner when his smartphone buzzed, an alert from his favorite pro football team. We all could have played better.

“I think it’s a good thing. But that wasn’t the case in ’02”. “You have to change the culture….”

With any coaching change comes uneasiness, for the next coach is bound to have a different taste in personnel.

“Obviously you want someone who has a strong work ethic and definitely someone who works extremely hard and has a connection with the players, mentally and emotionally as well”, Murray said.

Still, he’s naturally linked with the Titans’ potential head coaching opening, as Kelly coached Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota in college.
