Chuck Wagon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 So apparently it only took 1 Tomsula season for the leadership to change their stance on A-Hole head coaches who lack people skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Let the conspiracy theorists begin their thoughts. Tomsula was such a horrible hire by the 49ers it was an interim hire. Kelly depletes the Eagles talent pool left and right. gets himself fired, so he can go back out west and be where he wants to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Chip's offense design is more suited for college, not the NFL. Maybe time will prove me wrong on this. But I think this hire is another mis-step by SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 WELL, looks like they prob won't be trading Kap. Kelly prob sold ownership on the idea that Kap is perfect for his system. Almost feel bad for 49ers fans. Such ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think this hire is another mis-step by SF. Chip needs a mobile QB. He was able to get away with it with Foles - DeSean - Shady because Foles to DeSean was one of the best deep connections in the league that year and Shady could make up for more on his own than Murray could. With Bradford and the receivers they had there was zero threat of Bradford running and very little vertical threat as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Maybe he learned a valuable lesson about people skills.... There's at least one lesson learned. Stay out of personnel matters and confine your "genius" to coaching your players. @RapSheet Trent Baalke will maintain his power as the GM in charge of personnel. For the #49ers, Chip Kelly will just coach. Which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Gabbert was actually doing pretty well there as the starter. If they do go back to Kaep with this move I'm think Gabbert isn't going to be happy being 2nd string again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMike Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I think this seals the deal for where Kapernick (sp?) plays. He is a prototypical Chip Kelly QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I think this seals the deal for where Kapernick (sp?) plays. He is a prototypical Chip Kelly QB. Likely a huge factor in Chip being hired. Kaepernick will be reclamation project #1. Someone disagrees. @Cianaf Why Kaepernick isn't a good fit for the offense Kelly ran during his first two seasons: 1.http://www.footballoutsiders.com/film-room/2013/film-room-kaepernick-newton 2. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/film-room/2014/film-room-colin-kaepernick-and-teddy-bridgewater Edited January 14, 2016 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 @RapSheet As he plotted potential moves & his next @NFL stop, Chip Kelly was trying to figure out how to trade for/sign Colin Kaepernick. No need now. .@MikeMayock on Chip Kelly's hire for #49ers QB Colin Kaepernick: "One of the best things that's happened for him." Totally agree. New life. #49ers GM Trent Baalke sat down with Colin Kaepernick before the season ended. That olive branch may prove incredibly valuable going forward @NFL "I think for Colin Kaepernick's career, it's one of the best things that could have happened." - @MikeMayock http://snpy.tv/1Q8OugW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49er Fan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Biggest problem is the overhaul on both offense and defense. Very worried about spending high-round draft picks on RB/WR/TE and ignoring the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often defenses knew what was coming. lol this should be fun CBF Yeah, it really should be. I think this seals the deal for where Kapernick (sp?) plays. He is a prototypical Chip Kelly QB.

yungmack Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Kind of amusing that Bills fans, of all people, are faulting the Niners hire. Last I looked, and based on record, Kelly is a much much better hire that our very own P. T. Ryan. Sure, Kelly is a boring guy, a coach who demands much of his players and gets rid of those who don't fit his quirky philosophy, and is also a coach who is followed closely by other coaches and GMs. Remind you of any other coaches? Like Belichick? Who also failed in his first head coaching job. I know this, if I could only hire one or the other chubby Irishman to run my team, it wouldn't be P. T.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 So he goes from a team that had a tone of star players (who he later traded or cut) to a team that pretty much has no star players. Perfect fit There is no downside to him for this. Nobody is expecting much from San Fran CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
