Chip Kelly - Head Coach, Philadelphia Eagles

[smeags]

id rather listen to culture club on a continuous loop for a week than hear more vagina monlogues about chip getting too much credit from certain segments of the human race before he has won 15 lombardis.

its not the interwebs yet, so you have to download a pdf. its worth it.

not pointing you out romey this is just a general question to the powers that be who have annointed him as such...i wanna know why chip is a genius and bruce arians isnt.....or chip is one but any other random college coach who has lost in a natty championship game isnt...cant the motherfarger win something before he becomes a god?...im not sure ive ever seen anything like the worship chip gets for a coach who really has never done anything of note

Short answer is innovative offense and respectable football peops are praising him. I'm in the win the Eagles a super bowl and I'll call him whatever he wants category.

[Dillen]

yea but will chip win a super bowl?

This made me laugh. Solid timing

[rjs246]

Don't encourage him.

[Geowhizzer]

I like Chip.  I'll root for Chip.  Hell, I'd root for Satan if he was coaching the Eagles (read:  Kotite).  Like everything else in the farging world, the media runs this shtein into the ground.

Save his canonization, his coronation, and his Canton bust for when he wins something.  Until then, he's just a coach.  A good coach, but not the second coming of Vince Lombardi.

So far to me he is more like the second coming of Don Coryell (who also came straight out of college, was called a genius for his offensive innovations, and had success in the NFL -- without taking any teams all the way).

[Don Ho]

Very good comparison QB.  How true.  Coryell was cutting edge, exciting, fast pace offensive genius.  Man did he have some players - Fouts, Muncie, John Jefferson, Wes Chandler, Charlie Joiner, Winslow.  He actually had a descent defense but could never get to the Super Bowl.

[smeags]

yeah coryell is an excellent comparison. hopefully kelly can have more success.

meanwhile chip is going into his 3rd season, while he has had some success he is going to need to get this thing rolling and produce more than a playoff loss. 

[ice grillin you]

a huge difference is coryell had ridiculous offensive HOF talent.....chip has gotten rid of all his talent and is counting 100% on system

[Zanshin]

Or did Coryell's system make them HOF talent? I don't think it's an either/or scenario, actually. And it's overstatement to say that Chip got rid of his talent, certainly without mentioning the players he brought in. The jury is still out. Big year for the Chipper. Rubber has to meet the road.

[General_Failure]

Hall of Famer Mark Sanchez? Hall of Famer Riley Cooper? I have a hard time seeing it.

[QB Eagles]

Coryell did not have HOF passing and receiving talent in St Louis, where he started in the NFL and where his teams were similarly offensively ranked to the Charger years. He turned Jim Hart into a Pro Bowler.

Yeah, no.
