Eagles Fired Tom Gamble

[PhillyPhreak54]

I could care less how liberal he is, Bill Clinton is one of my idols. But 20 years and zero championships speaks volumes. He stayed with Reid forever...why? Because he was too afraid to shake things up and hurt anyones feelings. He's rich and I'm sure he wants a championship but his hunger should be like the fans who would sell their souls for one before they die.

I agree with you about Chip and picking players, but they're not going to get a coach as good as him. He might be the top offensive football mind in the world. Howie had such a hard on for Chip that he agreed to do whatever he wanted to get him here then changed his mind once he saw he didn't know how to pick NFL players.

Well he stuck with Andy too long in fear of shaking it up....and then has been signing off on firings since then

Plugged-in league source senses there could be "something big" going on in Philly in the aftermath of Tom Gamble's departure.

florio is a shtein-stirrer...keep that in mind

but if chip bailed would it really shock anyone? even without that flame thrower's tweet?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jeez...if Chip bolts I may be inconsolable.

i hope im wrong but i think we hear at any time that chip kelly and the eagles have agreed to part ways

[hbionic]

stadium is kinda like lurie...better than most but not overwhelmingly great...but really how great can a football stadium be

See Lambaugh field and whatever corporate field the Seahawks play in.

I think if you design it right and maximize acoustics, and capacity in the sense where they are as close as possible to the field, it won't only sound intimidating, but feel intimidating as well. Even mile high seemed to have that feel to it...or was it just because we were getting our asses handed to us by 40+?

Anyway, I can only say so much because I've never sat at the Linc, but it just looks so generic in design like Cincy/Nashville/Cleveland. If it were to be blown up tomorrow, I doubt anyone would miss it.

a good part of me thinks chip would ultimately win a power struggle with howie....despite what happened with gamble. he's just tom gamble.

windmill jeff talks to people around the league, others owners, execs. everyone is on chip's dick. his kids have to be, too. everyone has been telling, and is telling, jeff that chip is special. nobody says that about howie.

The Linc is a cookie cutter stadium. Has no personality. I don't mind it but it's nothing special. I find the responsible business model they try to push down your throat as the biggest drawback. I'm there to watch football not to get slammed with advertisements and go green campaigns.

Lurie went from Banner to Howie and it's been the same result. Does he learn after this is the question.

howie ethered banner...he certainly can take out chip whose been around for about two minutes

I personally think seattles stadium is hideous and lambeau is a dump....the history there is undeniable but lambeau is like fenway....cool because they have been around forever but when you are there its awful...id take the linc over either of those....id like to have seattles crowd tho

[ice grillin you]

how hard is pimp gonna laugh his ass off if/when chip gets shtein canned

[MDS]

i've seen enough of this reaction to call this a thing:

there is a portion of the fan base that thinks this story is 10000% media created. even the ultimate homer -- houston -- isn't downplaying this.

[SD]

If Chip goes and Howie stays there's no better coach out there to get

If Howie goes and Chip stays then we're stuck with zesty player personnel moves

Bad situation

Just when you think they can't top last years Desean fiasco...they do it

[hbionic]

I wouldn't hate Roseman so much if I can credit him for making a concrete move that helped the eagles...but he's been part of the failure, which is why I don't know why he's still here. Now he might cost us the smoothie king of the league? farg.

Does this mean the plan to go to Kelly Green is aborted?
