Fire Chip Kelly

im hearing 50/50 to usc right now...but it still depends on how this season plays out

0% chance he goes

0% chance he goes

agreed

I want him gone, his ego won't let him be successful at the pro level but he has total control and the NFL is where the best go and he wants to be the best so he stays.

[SunMo]

every coach has an ego.  i'm not sure why his won't let him be successful, especially considering he has been successful.

He doesn't know how to handle professional athletes. You don't release a Jaccson/Mathis etc. and not replace them. Jaccson at least he tried to bring in Matthews/Agholor and Huff, but Mathis was just a total farg up on his part. He didn't want to deal with Rosenhaus and Mathis and all that so he released him. This is the pro level, these are the problems he's going to have to deal with, just because a player wants a new contract or doesn't want to conform 100% to your system doesn't mean you just cast them off. These aren't college kids. You put your ego in check for the betterment of your team. I was fine with his offseason moves, even releasing Mathis, because I figured he had a plan to replace the Guards. Instead he figured he could just scheme around them and he has two good tackles and a good center. Doesn't work that way in the pros Chip.

i agree with all of that but id be semi ok with that part of it if he didnt have such a limited definition of what kind of player he wants....whether it be the culture part of it or the perfect body type or the versatility...each one of those taken on its own is a worthy want in a player but not at the expense of talent...who cares if a guy can only play guard if you can find someone to plug in at that position for the next 10-12 years then you do it...or who cares if a defensive end has short arms...if you can find a killer edge rusher who can get you 10-12 sacks a year pull the trigger....yaaaay josh huff and kkk are awesome blockers!

He's definitely made some missteps on the personnel side but i don't doubt he'll learn from them.  i also think the line needed some time to play together, i don't think they'll be wonderful but they have gotten better from the start of the season.

i dont....i can see him gaining some humility as far as what kind of person he is in the building and locker room...but the things i mentioned are foundational core football beliefs he has....i dont see those ever changing...i have confidence in him changing as a coach but not as a GM

[hunt]

he's stubborn but i don't think he's stubborn enough to ignore the oline again this upcoming offseason. out of all the moves he made, that's where he f'd up the most.

I thought the Birds O line was worst in the league until I saw San Diego's line last night.

i dont see not addressing a position as stubborness its just miscalculation....i definitely could see him draft/sign four lineman next year but if hes choosing lineman that have to perfectly fit his mold rather than the best players then thats where the problem lies

Dare I ask it?

Where are you hearing this?

[ice grillin you]

chip aint going anywhere

im just playing around typing the same bullshtein stuff about chip leaving as everyone in the world did about mariotta coming and seeing eagle fans flip out about chip nonsense but slurp up all the mariota nonsense

[rjs246]

Ah right. This is what I get for choosing not to read 15 pages of bullshtein. Carry on.

lol - on the twitter machine!

Chip is making $6.5M, has complete control over everything and answers to one person.

One of the reasons he dipped from college was he wasn't down with sucking off the boosters.

And the leading candidates? More like the top two on Haden's wishlist.

The A&M people here are flipping out about Sumlin's name being mentioned.
