H2o Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Kelly is a college coach, just as Saban. His gimmick offense worked until they got some film on him. He has ruined that team as a whole and they will have to go into full rebuild mode now. Casualties were Foles, Maclin, Jackson, McCoy, Mathis, and Trent Cole. The Iggles are in shambles right now.

PromoTheRobot Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Kelly probably can't go back to Philadelphia now...and I mean after that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurmal34 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Wait, we were all condescendingly informed by someone who told us how he is always right that Chip Kelly was firmly entrenched as the next NFL coaching genius. This can't possibly be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The U. Very interesting. Ain't what it used to be, need to really upgrade facilities to get the best recruits and coaches again. I can see him going to USC Does this surprise anyone? Coaching in the NFL is hard enough as it is and its almost impossible to inspire your team when you're Alleged racist against black players. So getting rid of McCoy was not racism/starism but attempt to raise average IQ of team? I got it. I didn't know Murray was white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond the obvious personnel mistakes, too many players have openly criticized his methods for it all to be just prima donna player bitching. Kelly really needs to go back to college.

Does anyone else think that if he had just kept the key talent he had that brilliant first year (all of which other than Maclin would have still been under contract) he would have a team being talked about like the Bengals are at the moment as super talented potential Superbowl team but still a bit of a ? at QB in Dalton / Foles? Getting rid of McCoy and Jackson in particular was stupid. Ditching two solid NFL guards even if they were getting on in age when the standard of guard play league wide is so ropey was suicide. Throw in Trent Cole also Brandon Boykin who was a pretty solid nickel for them.... and then swapping an average QB who isn't on one knee and knows the system for one who is on one knee and doesn't... it is all looking very foolish.

D521646 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I think Kelly's problem is that he's never really had to deal with the stuff he's dealing with at the Pro level. He's never really had bad teams, or players underperforming like this, and his arrogance is especially on full display. Oh, and he's not racist, and McCoy wasn't saying he was, only that he has a difficult time with strong willed black men.. If you're weak-willed, I'm sure you're fine..

KD in CA Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 @AroundTheNFL College ranks biggest threat to lure Chip Kelly from Philly, per @RapSheet http://at.nfl.com/rqLiS3i "threat" to "lure" Chip Kelly from Philly. Oh no! Philly must be quaking over the "threat". Whoever wrote that crap must have a background in politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Who would have thought hiring Marrone back in 2013 would not be as bad as hiring Kelly. At least Marrone didn't trade away all of our best players for "his own guys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Marrone didn't trade away all of our best players for "his own guys". No this is true. Marrone butted heads with a few of our guys but if they played hard he put them on the field.... apart from when the D-Line coach pulled them and he didn't notice.

May Day 10 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I can't believe the disaster. It is really epic. Imo kelly isn't ready to deal with the nfl millionaire personalities. It seems like usc is the landing spot that makes the most sense. I could see him at lsu but I think he isn't a good fit there. They need a guy like les miles lol.

Doc Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I wonder if this gives him more time as this is his first yr at GM? Doubt it. Seems like he's been the de facto GM since he got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Doubt it. Seems like he's been the de facto GM since he got there. Pretty big difference this year than the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) I can't imagine this goes any further than this season (if it even gets that far). They are almost tire fire status at this point. They have gotten blown apart by tampa and Detroit in consecutive games in all phases. A lot of bold moves and it looks like he set the organization back like 5 years Then you take into account the philly fans and media...
