Chip Kelly Fired

Another one bites the dust.

Philly will be bad for a while, they need so much it's not even funny

Let's just make this the week 17 thread as well.

Could not happen to a nicer guy! lolol

I'm enjoying how bad this makes Jeffrey Lurie look, is he really so impatient that he couldn't wait a week and do it on Black Monday? My only disappointment is that we won't get to see the regression continue into next season for the Eagles.

I cannot wait to see the Twitterverse explode -- you think DeMarco Murray, DJax, LeSean McCoy, and Jeremy Maclin (among others) might have a few thoughts about this.

I wonder if Coughlin survives. I like him and think he's a heck of a coach, but there have been grumblings. And Jason Garrett cannot feel too good about his status given the comments from Jones about the Texans' success with Brandon Weeden reflecting bad coaching in Dallas.

Could it be that Jay Gruden is the lone survivor this season??

Personally, I hope it doesn't happen. If Coughlin is to go, the guy should at least make the decision to retire on his own -- 2 rings ought to buy that right. Mara would be an even bigger turd if he canned him. And Garrett and Kelly -- I would love to see them continue to coach underperforming teams in Dallas and Philly indefinitely.

Kind of surprised at the Kelly firing. He had two 10 win seasons, and i thought if nothing else, he might be forced to give up personnel decisions so that he could stay on. I felt like he had a decent offense when it showed up, plus a good QB in Sam Bradford. I wonder if Bradford stays when they get a new coach??

Coughlin will be asked to retire, if he doesn't agree then the ax will fall.

Apparently, Kelly was asked to give up personnel control, and he balked. And Lurie showed him the door.

No humility. None. And there will be players all over the place trashing him, I will bet.

I wonder whether the Titans hire him to work with Mariota.

It is up to Chip if he wants to stay in the NFL or go back to NCAA. There are too many NFl teams that need a good coach and Chip is a good coach.
Tennessee Titans have his favorite QB and a fan base that will probably love him.
