Fire Chip Kelly

[ice grillin you]

I actually probably would've been fine if Chip was back so long as someone competent was directing player personnel.   However that wasn't going to happen at this stage so...

chip was gross on every level...last year i was still on board with him possibly being a solid X/O head coach...but as every game went by you could see more and more how incompetent he was on the field...even if he was a good X/O guy he was so bad with player relations and the locker room that it didn't matter...he had lost much of the team over the past couple of years and he had to go

to me its going to be fascinating going forward to see how much chip self evaluates and changes...first thing he needs to do is come off his ludicrous culture bullshtein...but can you see him ever doing that?...its like his foundation...but if he doesn't he will never succeed in the nfl

[ice grillin you]

He out-ballsed Chip. Pretty impressive. Hopefully he doesn't screw it up this time.

Going with Howie as GM isn't a good start

still protecting chip til the end...its admirable but sad...this is like the 10th time you've mentioned howie since chip was fired...but not one criticism of chip...hes your new bradford the guy you go after ad nausea instead of chip

howie has only had one draft but im sure hes a ten times better evaluator than chip...that said i would prefer howie smolenski EVERYONE go and start anew....its the perfect time to do that

i cant tell...serious question: did you actually want chip back or are you just unable to criticize him?

You have issues.

How in the farg can you equate my distaste for Howie to some convoluted Chip defense?

Chip's time was up. He hung himself with his awful GM moves and being stubborn to a fault. Amongst other issues.

Find something else to try to work me over about. Although it is funny that you rip me for hating on Bradford and Howie yet you steady blast just about everyone and everything because you're a real fan.

Howie sucks. You IN on him being the GM to get this team right?

its not the fact that you don't want howie as gm...i don't think anyone does

but since chip was got you said ONE thing about it "shocker!" and since then have mentioned howie about ten times

the imbalance is amazing considering the bullshtein we just went thru with chip for the past season and the fact that howie has had one draft ever that wasn't even awful

but its no different than this season where i think you may have ripped chip once in 16 weeks and ripped billy d and called for marc sanchez about 500 times

i just want to know if chip has pictures of you or something....cause i don't get it

I mean what else needs to be said about Chip. You want me to whip up an obit on him? Wanna rehash the stupid moves he's made?  Wanna talk about his degradation into an unapproachable recluse? He's gone. He's no longer the coach.

So I, because I am a fan, turn to what is here and what it means for our franchise moving forward. And it appears that Howie is gonna get more run at GM. I haven't been a fan of his...sue me.

This Lurie PC is gonna be fascinating

[SunMo]

Lurie didn't go into his meeting with Kelly with the intention of firing him, I'm told. More, it was to take his temperature and continue to feel him out and gather information that would lead to his ultimate decision on what to do with his organization in 2016. Obviously, things went sideways and what Kelly had to say didn't mesh with the owner's vision, and Lurie became convinced that for as radical as a Week 17 firing might be perceived, it was time to do it. The fact that Kelly didn't seem inclined to scratch and claw to remain in his perch, sources said, did him no favors as well.

this jives more with my initial thinking

chip told lurie nothing needed to change...billy good, receivers good, talent good, etc. lurie was like what the farg? this guy is out of his mind. combine that with nobody in the novacare liking chip and him being a total dick, the embarrassments at home and national tv, and lurie just said screw it. you gone.

for a reporter you do a terrible job sourcing your quotes

[ice grillin you]

I mean what else needs to be said about Chip.

lolol...this is beyond hilarious...billy davis has been destroyed since the day he was hired....three years of bashing...yet you found the time to kill him non stop all this year...chip going into this season was a genius in most eyes and people including you had them winning the superbowl but there was nothing negative to say about him at all this year and definitely not after he was fired

if they kept chip as coach and he fired billy davis after this season you would not said anything right?...no good riddance...no how he wasn't agrresive....etc...silence right?...cause after all he no longer would have been the DC?...in fact id bet a weeks salary after chip was fired you have made mention somewhere of well at least billy davis isn't the DC anymore

its a fact that you are in the bag for chip and have been every step of the way to an almost unhealthy degree...i seriously want to know why even up to right now you still are?....its an honest question...is it because you think hes a great coach?

I'm not in the bag for Chip. I'm an Eagles fan so I want to win. You have this in your head that I'm Chip's press secretary but that's not even close.

I'm not defending Chip at all. Want to show me where I'm defending him "even up to right now"?

[PhillyPhreak54]

PC pushed back to 1230

Roob and Gunner on and they're saying that Howie will hold them back from getting a real HC and that a strong personnel guy is needed

As an aside - someone get Roob a comb

[ice grillin you]

theres no defense of him...not even you could do that...but you defend him by proxy...first and foremost by never criticizing him...but also by instead killing billy d...or calling for sanchez...or posting 10 times in less than 24 hrs after chip was fired about howie not being the gm....its always something than other than chip...i just wanted to know why...but i see you wont or cant answer it...

time to move on

[Chameleon]

farg Howie Roseman.

[Sgt PSN]

I have fired people before and that description matches some meetings I have had.

Just this past summer I had a guy where the meeting was supposed to be a "coaching" session to see if we could salvage him, but the meeting went south very quickly.  Fired him the next day.  shtein like this happens in the real world every day so not surprised to see it in the NFL.

I think it was a little more serious for Lurie than this. He had to already have it somewhere in his mind that Chip's future with the team was questionable at best.  I think Lurie was already entertaining the idea of canning him after the season and the meeting left him no doubt that it was time to part ways, so he fired him on the spot. Lurie doesn't seem the type who would make that kind of decision on the spot though He already had it in his head that if the meeting went a certain way, Chip was gone.

time to move on

You're killing me.

I disliked Davis from the jump
I hated the Bradford trade
I disliked Howie as GM and don't want him as GM again

So why WOULDNT I post about those things?

And I'm sorry I have never ripped Chip enough for your liking. In which chapter of the Super Fan Bible is this edict?

[Chameleon]

Here is a list of people shteintier than Howie Roseman: Sheldan Adelson the end. Someone murder these two people, you will be my hero.

[Susquehanna Birder]

We just missed John Idzik.

[ice grillin you]

jeffy:

decision to fire chip was made before the meeting happened

happened tuesday to get a jump start on rebuild

to give a chip a chance to get out there

and to engage all the players this week and not just for a few minutes before they head home for the offseason
