It's not. This is a thread so everyone can say "I told you so" and feel better about themselves.

 

this looks more bad on the Eagles then it does kelly. Firing him before the season is even over with a coach that has a 26-21 record over three seasons? Either they had word chip was planning on bailing and wanted to save face or something else happened but this isn't because Chip Kelly is a bad coach.

Chip Kelly's IS a horrible GM though

Ooo, burn:

Ouch.

Word was that after the Panthers front office called George Seifert in and told him he was canned, he went to the players and talked to them about what they were gonna be doing next year. Nobody had any idea he was fired until they told them later.  It was bizarre.

Regarding Kelly, I won't argue that it isn't deserved (it is) but not even letting him coach the last game of the season? That's kinda cold.

MeDerp might be on their short list, but I'm not convinced he will be a good HC. He doesn't look or sound like a guy anyone would look at and give 100% respect. Maybe it's just me.......

It's definitely just you. You apparently haven't read the article about TD talking about him a year or so ago.

Lurie asked him to give up personnel control and Chip said no.

Lurie blew it giving that type of control to begin with and then try to reign it back in.

I'm saying it now. Murray will NEVER get a 1k yards again. Dallas knew he hit his wall and gladly traded him. For Kelly not to know that told me he isn't a good pro talent evaluator.

My coworker is a die hard redskin fan and he just said today he hopes all 3 coaches stay in the NFC east so the skins continue to have a chance to win their division .. 1 down 2 more to go 

Except the Redskins have just as a moronic control freak of a head coach in Gruden.

I saw this coming when he was first hired. I remember saying he wasn't going to last long in the NFL trying to run a college offense in the NFL. Good job for the Eagles. Chip came into Philly acting like the new sheriff in town trying to run things and came out looking like a fool.

The Panthers run a college offense. But thr Panthers have Cam Newton. Not Brady Quinn or whichever one of them rich pretty white boys they have now

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
