Fire Chip Kelly

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah I understand you're a bit jaded with how you look at Chip but it's pretty evident that he threw no one under the bus here. I mean he's flat out says its on him.

They were told the trade wasn't intiated by Buffalo. I remember when news broke of this it was leaked by Buffalo people. The teams couldn't even submit it to the league because it wouldn't be approved or processed until the league year begins.

So they set the parameters of the deal and then plan to finalize the next day. Buffalo leaks the news and it's blown up before Chip talks to Shady. And there you have the rift.

He was pretty clear that he handled it poorly.

That's cool. He's still a douche though.

[smeags]

I'm not giving chump any credit for admitting he farged this up so far after the fact.

Plus he's still full of shtein about the reason why the trade happened. Cap number my ass, chump just didn't like mccoy and his ego hurt the team as a result.

[SD]

the farg up by chip there is far less concerning than the guy CKGM identified and caked off as shadys replacement

Agreed. Everything about that deal was awful. Kiko blows and Murray is a crybaby bitch who hasn't even come close to fitting this offense.

I was against the trade at the time, once the dust settled I guess I was ok with it because of the salary they were saving. I was onboard with the Murray signing because he IS a one cut power back. The only problem is they didn't address the line, he's lost a step, his one cut is too slow now, and they insist on running him on the outside zone read play. They should have signed Mathews and maybe another similar back and called it a day. Since the interior of the O line is so poor it's vital you have a back that can hit the hole and just go. It's no coincidence Mathews/Sproles/Bartrum are more effective.

But more to the point, Chips a douche for not contacting Shady first. It's called professional courtesy. Who cares if the trade happened in 34 seconds. You still reach out to the guy first and tell him the deal. On the flipside Shady has his own issues.

even now i still support the trade....i still believe kiko comes around...he cant be this bad after being dominantly good as a rookie...and 99% of running backs are highly replaceable

my problem has always been the demarco signing not the shady trade

[Seabiscuit36]

Mike Bartrum?

[smeags]

What kind if deal would Kiko get ? Has to be rock bottom right ?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Screamin A has out done himself

Yesterday he said on sports center that he was "stopped on the streets on Philadelphia by members of the Philadelphia Eagles who took the liberty of telling me how uncomfortable they were with Chip Kelly because of the manner in which he was treating them"

So players are walking up to him on the streets and telling him this?!

No shot this is true. Zero.

What kind if deal would Kiko get ? Has to be rock bottom right ?

I doubt it would be much more than Riley Cooper got.

disgusting horrible embarrassment DIE

[Geowhizzer]

Is this enough to get Chip fired at the end of this season?  Seems like the players have quit.

[rjs246]

If Chip gets fired this franchise won't recover for many years. This roster is his and his alone. Firing him now would require a top to bottom overhaul of the entire organization. Front office, staff, roster. Everything. I'd rather give him another year or even two as the coach. Any checks that can be put in place on Chip the GM though, I'm all for.

[ice grillin you]

theres no in between...chip played his hand last season when he said he wanted everything or nothing....its still the same case

[QB Eagles]

Just not Lurie's style to fire a guy after one losing season after a couple double digit win years. I do think he's gone if the Eagles suck again next season.

I don't see Lurie bringing in Jerry Colangelo to look over Chip's shoulder either. Anything good or (more likely) bad next year will be on Chip, and Lurie will judge him accordingly. Lurie always said he brought in Chip not to implement his college system, but because he thought he was capable of adapting and making changes when something isn't working. Well, this year Chip's whole system failed. If he tries all the same broken shtein next year, he's outta here. Chip the GM may have screwed over Chip the coach because this team has too many personnel needs to accomplish in one offseason.
