Of all the head scratching hires ever made in the nfl, this is the scratchiest.  They had a better version of Chip when they had Harbaugh.

[ice grillin you]

harbaugh and chip couldnt be more different

their ceo is 35...hes probably an analytics nerd and loves chips sports science and other "advanced" bullshtein

[Sgt PSN]

Talking about the way they clashed with other execs in the front office.  The same problems that SF supposedly had with Harbaugh are much of the same problems that Chip had in Philly.

[ice grillin you]

yeah i dont think jed york sees chip that way...i think he sees him as a visionary that he will get along great with...where as harbaugh was a crusty old school son of a bitch

[Sgt PSN]

Can't disagree with that.  Ultimately though, this is probably going to come down to what players think of Chip, and I don't see him changing his methods that much. As long as SF keeps him out of the FO, there's a chance it could work out ok, but he's gotta relate to veteran players better than he does now.  Guys on their rookie contracts might be down with his shtick because they're still in college mode, but veteran players were the ones that soured on him the most and the fastest, and you can't sustain winning in this league with a roster full of young'uns and cast off free agents desperate enough for a job that they'll drink the smoothies.

yeah thats the biggest difference btwn harbaugh and chip...harbaugh is tough...but hes a players coach....chip was savant recluse rat bastich who everyone hated...if he doesnt get his locker room in order like you said its not going to matter what jed thinks of him

[Sgt PSN]

WR Coach Bob Bicknell is heading out to San Fran with Chippah. Who the farg is going to teach these receivers how to drop passes now?

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'm glad he's gone.

[Sgt PSN]

Is Billy Davis still a thing?  I don't remember seeing anything about him being gone.  Was hoping Chip would have hired him by now.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Still technically under contract and wouldn't be fired until a new coach is brought in and decides on his staff
