Fire Chip Kelly

amazing how igy is the only one who didn't think chip was the answer. 

He criticizes every coach/player. Show me a move he's ever liked on any of the 4 major teams. I'm a wait and see type of fan. It's fine to criticize Chip now but doing it before you've seen what he put on the field is ignorant.

on chip...he brought excitement to the eagles at a time when everybody was sick of the same old andy reid crap every year. 
his philosophy is interesting & sometimes fun to watch...but it's not what wins in the nfl.  you need talent.  you need to be able to put long drives together on offense to keep your defense off the field.  you need some "nasty" players with attitude.  finesse football sucks & it rarely wins super bowls. 

you also cant have a bunch of robotic stepfords making up the locker room...they have no attitude passion or personality whatsoever...and football is so much about passion...part of this comes from the fact that they overhauled the roster in a very short period of time but a lot of has to do with chips culture as well...he views players no differently than he does a blocking sled or weight machine...they are just pieces that fit into his system...they arent people

also outside of demeco who cant play anymore they have zero leadership especially from the head coach...you cant be a 100% hands on dictator having your players fill out a form after practice everyday asking them to tell you how much sleep they had the night before but then also be an eccentric recluse within your own locker room....bellicheck for example has the dictator part down but his players are also super close to him and would run in traffic if he asked...chip passes his players in the hall and doesnt make eye contact...this shtein might not matter as much when you are winning but when you have a start like this its important to have strong leadership to fight you thru the tough times...there is zero of that on this team

im not even hating on chip...i have an open mind that he can win multiple superbowls still....

my how an 0-2 start for the eagles can even change the opinion of the greatest sports mind that's ever lived.

i liked the shady trade quite a bit...and you didnt need to see these guys on the field to know that they werent winning the division much less a superbowl contenderd....football is a sport of 22 moving pieces that all need to be in cohesion with each other...you cant overhaul a roster overnite and expect it to work...you also cant go into a season with two bum journeyman as 40% of your offensive line...josh huff cant be your number two wr...these are blatantly obvious things that dont need to be waited on and seen...and it wasnt even like i was predicting 3-13....9-7 i have them at...i think they are more or less around a .500 team i gave them 9 wins on account of a favorable schedule

i dont doubt chip is a good x and o guy but hes doesnt know how to put together and nfl team and the glorification of him over the last three years for someone that has never won a single thing in his life has been sickening

i still think he could as a head coach...but unless something seriously changes he cant as a gm...make him an x and o type coach get a real gm who gets achip a good qb and sure he could win some titles...worse coaches than him have won...problem is tho hes an egomaniacal power hungry stubborn bastich who i cant see giving up power or changing his ways at all

[ice grillin you]

you also "accidentally" didnt include these things i said....

chip has sam bradford throwing to josh huff and a racist

I really like chip as a head coach....but players win....ideal situation would be chip staying and just being a head coach...Howie getting fired lurie hiring a new GM....hopefully youd end up with a mike holmgren ron wolf type scenario

if chip insists on only taking his type players then id rather have howie and a new coach

I honestly wish I could care enough about any of this to get upset.  I have issues in my life that are far more taxing and distressing at this point.  I watch the Eagles for a release of those pressures and I come here to discuss them, but still, for the sake of enjoyment.    Some of you have serious priorities issues, but hey, count yourselves lucky for that.  I wish I could.

Josh Huff said a few times when he was lined up near Dallas sideline, they were calling out Eagles plays. Said problem is being addressed.

At least Chip covers his mouth up with his play sheet when he calls the plays in.

i think the predictability is the most disappointing thing.  of course him taking over PP was a huge risk and not what he first came here for.  but above all else he was supposed to be this innovative, unpredictable, big balls swinging dick coach.  he tried that extra point gag one time and it got destroyed and he hasn't tried an innovative thing since.  his first year he had some cool formations with the tackles out wide and other stuff like that but now it's so bland.  even guys who have followed him for years like Chris Brown (smartfootball on twitter) are shocked that he's become so predictable.  if this experiment is going to fail i would much prefer it fail while trying to go against the grain with everything, not the way it's happening now

hes been coaching like marty schottenheimer, too. punting on 4th and 2/3 from the + side of the 50...kicking a fg on 4th and inches....hes afraid just like every other coach

[SunMo]

but he wasn't supposed to be, he was supposed to come in and not give a farg because he could always go back to college and get a cushy job in a second.

I'm with that-- if you're going to lose, don't be boring while you do it.
