Wow - Eagles Fire Chip Kelly

[57stratdawg]

GTFO DAN

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Freeze to Philly

 

[rugbdawg]

If Strick doesn't make the phone call to the cigar boys and

determine their max package, Strick should be fired immediately.

 

[thatsbaseball]

WTF

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Loose cannons need their nuts tightened.

.

 

[ronpolk]

GTFO DAN

Can't say I'm shocked. He ruined the roster there, especially on offense.

Wonder what college is about to fire their coach. Rumor is that Miami is interested in mora at UCLA. Could be Kelly to UCLA

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Exactly. Who better to fill that void left by Hughes's departure......

 

[MississippiHeavyMetalDog]

Miami has fired Richt already?

???

[121Josey]

WTF?

 

[ronpolk]

???

Miami Dolphins... Sorry about that. Should have clarified.

 

[11thEagleFan]

I said Joe Mantegna!

 

[rugbdawg]

Uh. It's really simple. Kelly is a better coach than Dan Mullen. End of story. Let's say we COULD offer him 6.5 to 7 million. As AD, you should probably be close enough to your big donors and your budget to know this number. But call the big boys to be sure. You make the offer to Chip. If he says yes and has signed a contract, you fire Dan. HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT DAN IS DOING/HAS DONE THIS "OFFSEASON"?

Now, of course Kelly won't say yes. But dammit, you better try. And let it leak to Dan that you did. Interviewing for the Miami job...************.

 

[philduckworth]

Kelly to LSU?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Yeah, you are right.

But heck, he'll be at LSU after next season. Regardless.

Then we will really see how good he is.

Thanks! I really needed some comic relief tonight with all the sick people in our house.

 

[BoomBoom.sixpack]

It's Footloose, not Footlose.**

 

[msstate7]

I say Tennessee Titans

 

[dannyripms]

I'd offer him the job as well and how is that any different than what Dan did? If he took it then yep I'd fire dan too. We would get instant credit on the recruiting trail. Maybe dan could stay and be the offensive coordinator ****

 

[KurtRambis4]

Why

sell ourselves short? If Stricklins can't get $10 million together to offer Chip, he needs to be fired, too.

 

[mcdawg22]

All of these people saying Dan shopped himself. Where is the concrete proof of this?

 

[rugbdawg]

Confirmed by multiple sources he interviewed for the Miami job.

Stick head in sand if you want.

[mcdawg22]

Stick head in sand if you want.

The same sources that said he was missing the Connerly Trophy because he was in South Florida? Then he miraculously shows up to present Dak. Sorry I don't believe football scoop. GTFO

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Stick head in sand if you want.

Who are the sources? The OM grad ran site? What makes it confirmed? Because the person writing the piece says so?

Breaking News: I can confirm that Coach 34 and his cronies pushed Robert Nkemdiche out of that window. I can also confirm RebelBruiser literally sucks cock.

It's official.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Why not offer Saban $1 Billion Dollars?

 

[DancingRabbit]

Name the sources that were present.

They probably called on the phone and Dan probably asked what they were offering, and Dan said thanks but no thanks.

I don't think there's really any evidence there was an interview, much less a face to face interview. Just a phone call.

Maybe he was just 17ing with them.

My gut feeling is that Dan would have taken the Georgia job if offered. I think all the the other rumors were just rumors.

 

[ronpolk]

With all those direct flights from Miami to Jackson surely he could make that happen**

 

[was21]

I was thinking the same thing...either LSU or Auburn. But in either case he would have to put with a lot of politics and other crap at either place. Word seems to be that he wants to remain in NFL.

 

[was21]

I've been asking that question all along. People are going to believe what they want to.

 

[was21]

agree...Georgia would have been the one, the only one he would have been interested in...and if offered he would not and should not turn it down.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Uh. It's really simple. Kelly is a better coach than Dan Mullen. End of story.

Chip Kelly showed that he was a really good coach at a college with tons of Nike $$. Was there for 4 years. But when he got total control of the personnel at Philly .. he screwed them for years.

I read the same thing about him wanting to stay in the NFL. Apparently was tired of recruiting and ncaa rules. I expect him to get an interview with the Titans.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

That hurts the best chance for Dak. I really thought that was a place he was a natural fit.

 

[57stratdawg]

The problem is his personnel decisions. Jimmy Johnson said Chip Kelly called him asking for advice on being in charge of the roster and being the HC. He told him it was easy to be over personnel in the offseason, but during the season it was too much work.

I think this is what ultimately cost Kelly his job.

I'm a Dolphins fan, I think he'd do well with Tannehill, but i don't want him making free agent decisions. Keep in mind, Jeffrey Lurie kept Andy Reid for several seasons despite everyone hating him. He was awfully quick to cut Chip Kelly though.

 

[Seinfeld]

Hard for me to imagine any scenario that doesn't involve Kelly joining the Titans

1. The Titans need a reputable coach
2. Chip Kelly needs a job
3. Mariota needs a mentor
4. No one could possibly 17 up the Titans' roster any worse than it already is
