Fire Chip Kelly

[PhillyPhreak54]

les struck out getting chip at his own house just as glazer tweeted about a convo with him

poor les

I'm cracking up at thinking of Les knocking on the door and getting shut down

He did tweet that two big pick up trucks pulled out as he left though

Extra f you to Chip for leaving the team in shambles. Not a fan of the timing because of the draft and roster situation but farg Chip Kelly.

The two worst things being inherited by the new (old?) front office are the unmovable contracts for DeMarco Murray and Byron Maxwell. Good luck rebuilding around those cap black holes. Nothing can really be done about those situations until 2017.

The two missing draft picks will help.

The whole thing is a wreck but whatever. Chaos can be fun.

i think theres flexibility on murray after next year...same for maxwell

realistically next year is going to be a disaster no matter what, so

i mean whoever they hire is going to need 2-3 years locked in. you have to give them a chance to clean this up. this team is devoid of talent and full of culture.

Just got home and saw the news. My reaction:

[AshishPatel81]

I have a feeling Sean McDermott is going to be the new coach and if that happens ughhhhh

[Rome]

One thing I'll be happy to see again... offensive huddles.

And please, please, please bring in a defensive coordinator who runs the 4-3.   Pretty please with sugar on top?!?

Reports that three nfl teams have already inquired about chip - only one has an opening

[ice grillin you]

Either he refused to be stripped of the GM role or refused to make staff changes is my guess.

That would be my guess.

That is what Sal Pal is reporting now....chip said no

Which one was it?

I'm curious if it was a case of getting fired over keeping Billy Davis, or getting fired because Howie put a binder in front of Jeff documenting all of Chip's mistakes and what he would have done instead.

its possible he was simply fired because hes terrible at everything he does...team has been headed downhill since releasing pimp...lurie saw it going into the abyss and got rid of the guy who had it headed there...i suspect he fired a bad employee...no more no less

[MDS]

he was clearly thinking about it, but you dont just fire a dude at 700 on a tuesday

jeff told him he was taking his pp duties away and chip told him to farg off. so jeff fired him.

[ice grillin you]

we probably will never know but i disagree....i think it was a direction of the team thing...the firing with a week still to go was more about who you are firing...with chips firing you literally have to revamp the entire organization...from the team cooks and training staff to the gm and president

this weeks game means nothing and next week you can interview assistants who have byes....this needed to start as early as possible...this wasnt simply a gm firing a coach...this was a owner firing his president of football ops gm coach trainer team psychologist dietician etc...better to start the new plan right away...instead of next week

[PhillyPhreak54]

If that was the case he gets got Sunday or Monday - not Tuesday night.

More Glazer;

In my convo w Chip he said next stop he just wants to coach & insists he does NOT want to be the personnel guy too. This is significant

chip made his player personnel [power move last year...lurie already knew where he stood on that...lurie could have fired him anytime this season if that was the issue cause he already knew where chip stood...problem was the division was so bad they were never out of it until this week....couple days of internal meetings and the move is made this week where they get a head start on the revamp

also chip said he didnt want to do personel when the eagles hired him...dook is a straight up fraud

Lurie going with a really bold move and bringing Chip back with a bigger payday.

I think with a new offensive scheme, Murray will be salvageable. He's much better than what we saw this year. Since the Eagles are stuck with him, might as well hope the next GM and coach can get the most out of him because Chip sure as farg didn't.

Lol. Did Lurie put a gun to his head and make him take the GM job?
