I'll man up, I wanted Ron fired and Kelly hired....badly. After year one, I was pissed cause I thought it was the beginning of a new era. BUT I changed my opinion after chip traded rare elite talent for way less broken talent. I don't care if you're a god, its much easy to win with great talent. Yes it sucks that said talent maybe lazy, has bad habits, ahole etc etc.... Find way to make it work, you must find a way. This is pros, not a four year program with more controll.

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

Their current GM is like a young Dave gentleman, he's building a bully and has a insanely great eye for talent. He just needs to stay away form heavy drinking. He had a huge part in seafags and 49ers(before this year unrealness) success.

Per NFL Mobile.

Pretty unusual to see a coach fired days before the last game.

To those who wanted him here before, anybody still think that would have been a good idea?

yes and no.  


Schematically he's fine.  Would, ideally, he run fewer plays?  To a point, but being both hyper aggressive and running the ball well/believing in good line play is great. 

But scheme is just a part of it.  He got guys to execute, but he's not good with people.  He felt like he had to go get "his" guys to buy in, in part because he felt like some weren't.   You take that, against a guy like Rivera that can bring together anyone, and scheme isn't as important anymore.  

We would probably agree he has no business being a GM.   To a point, his issue isn't some fabricated "he can't run college scheme in the NFL" because Carolina is doing the same in a lot of ways, to similar success to his first year.  I think it's more a Harbaugh thing, wherein he needs to make guys instead of lead already-made guys.   

 

There's no doubt in my mind that Rivera, and plenty of other guys, don't look at themselves as above the team or that scheme is above talent.  I think that's Chip's problem.  You coach players into a team format, you can't go against that grain and hold yourself above it.

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.

Eagles offense was very good the past two seasons, so I wouldn't give yourself too much credit there. He made Nick Foles look like a pro bowler a couple years back, which looks more miraculous by the day. Chip Kelly did himself in as a GM, not a coach.

From Rotoworld

"Ex-Eagles coach Chip Kelly told FOX Sports' Jay Glazer that he wants to remain in the NFL and simply wants to coach, not control personnel."

He's going to coach the Titans.  Mariota is going to light it up.
