The Coaching Search Thread

if you dont have something nice to say about the eagles dont say anything at all

Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket. That's what we're looking for.

[General_Failure]

Maybe from him, yes.

I'll admit I was all on board the Gus Bradley campaign train.  "If" he turns Jacksonville around (assuming he gets that HC job) this will really sting.  Sit back and watch time.  Kelly starts drafting undersized DE's and LB's and talent challenged DB's, picks the wrong QB, doesn't recognize the fact he has one of the best running backs in the league we can start raising the white flag.  Biggest concern now is QB.  Not a whole lot out there.

Like most have already said, it seems to me that this will turn out to be at best mediocre, at worst a disaster.  Basically, they're replacing Andy Reid with... Andy Reid Lite.

We'll have to see how it turns out, but right now it's my stomach that's turning.

I actually think this is a high ceiling, disastrous floor type move.  I would be surprised if mediocrity resulted.  Kelly, to me, will either be able to successfully transition and the team will be good in a year or two, or, it will be a disaster.

I can buy into that.  There's really no middle ground here.  It's either 12-4 or 4-12 but not much in between.

C'mon Sarge, you're feeling a couple 7-9's here.  Admit it.

This team ain't doing shtein until it gets a QB.

cant wait for homer romey to come in here and flip out at all the chip hate

I'm not happy about hiring him at all.  I preferred Bradley but the reality is what I wanted or what you or anyone else wanted is absolutely irrelevant.

I want a Super Bowl.  If Chip Kelly wins one I'll be the happiest guy in the world.

only one college coach ever has jumped to the pros and been successful....jimmy johnson....so id say chip kellys ceiling is about as low as you can get...its about the culture shock that comes with coaching professional football...handling pro personalities....gaining respect....working with a front office...being able to run an nfl practice....managing an offseason program....big time media...ect....its completely overwhelming and and its something 99% of college coaches arent ready for

and thats before you know if the coaches system and philosophies will even work in the league

If he wins one and you're not happy, I'm gonna be really pissed.
