I heard the same thing this morning. It was one of the guests on first take. They had three guests today and I think his name is Ohm Youngmisuk. It was a brutal show of ignorance amongst 4 homers.

Is it wrong that I get sooooo much joy from Philly being f'd for the next several years b/c of Kelly? I mean, they have real, deep systemic problems at this point. Can I finally have hope that they will now be the new basement dwellers for an extended period of time?

Funny, make sure you read the back story on how they got his number.

Best quote about dip shit Chip: "His offense works great against teenagers"

Not so much in the NFL

Is it unfair to say Chip Kelly was basically Spurrier with a better set of "toys" in the toy box until he started casting them off? Kelly succeeded early because of the personnel on his team, if D-Jax, Maclin, & McCoy were still on the Eagles? Who knows.

Also, a stat I didn't know about until today is that their defense has been on the field more than any other defense over the past 3 seasons. That high pace on offense will backfire if you aren't scoring as quick as you are running plays.

Kinda hard to fire a guy who has won 2 rings

That's why I've been saying forced retirement or hit the highway if he refuses.

He could very well chose to retire and in that case Mcadoo and Spaggs would both be in contention as would Josh McDaniels all I'm saying is that he won't be fired and the two coordinators could stay with no problem.

Also on ESPN Radio this morning they said some former Eagles were sitting in the press box and explaining how simply that offense is by calling out plays merely based on formations.

Coughlin is on a one year deal anyway so he technically won't be fired.

Nailed it

[That Guy]

that show is literally only relevant because people constantly talk about all the stupid things they say there. no one's been fired, so i can only assume that it's purposeful.

Bill Belichick defends Chip Kelly, says a lot of ex-Eagles not 'doing too much'

Also, as it relates to Kelly's personnel acumen, which had come under scrutiny, Belichick added, "I'd say a lot of the players that were on the Eagles, that are no longer on the Eagles, aren't really doing too much for anybody else either."

Oh really?

I think it's funny that this is the second coach, connected to Belichick, who has been fired for basically taking over a team and running it into the ground (the other is Josh McDaniel). It is my opinion that these coaches have been trying to in some way emulate what Belichick has done in terms of player personnel. However, both Kelly and McDaniel do not have Tom Brady or Belichick's ability to coach up any player.

Belichick has been notorious for getting rid of talented players that don't fit his culture. But his coaching abilities and Tom Brady have always allow them to prevail. He also has his Super Bowl rings, which basically give him a free pass (rightfully so) to do whatever he wants.

Chip Kelly has royally f*cked up in Philly, and I really doubt any team would give him a chance after what he has done with the Eagles. While McDaniel has been considered a head coaching candidate, he has yet to find a job as a head coach after his blunder in Denver.

The only way I can see Kelly coaching in the NFL, is if he goes to a team with a strong GM.
