eagles are fuging retarded, they're not going to hire a new GM, just stick with their in house guys

 

Owner Jeffrey Lurie said Executive VP of Football Operations Howie Roseman will again head the Eagles' personnel department.

Roseman won't have the title of general manager, but it sounds like the Eagles won't be hiring one. Instead, the trio of authority will be Roseman, Senior Director of Player Personnel Tom Donahoe, and the new coach. They'll form a collaborative effort to make decisions. Roseman was the Eagles' GM from 2010-2014 before being forced out of the role by Chip Kelly last offseason.

Roseman is a decent GM, and actually put a bunch of pieces into place in philly. A real GM would probably be better than having some weird Frankenstein front office.

Just saw on espn where Stephen A Smith tweeted Kelly's firing was long overdue.  Anyone else find this odd?  Dude won 20 games in 2 years and sucked this year.  Was philly supposed to fire him after last season Stephen A?

The writing was on the wall last year that Kelly was spiraling downward.

His players hated him...teams had figured out how to stop his offense...he started hitting the team of their best players.

Kelly is an egotistical ass who thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and was going to change the NFL.  He was not willing to adjust and defensive coordinators showed him that his mad scientist shtick would only work in college.

Sone are saying he will go to Tenn and be rejoined with Mariotta.  For mariotta's sake I hope this is not true....Kelly will ruin him as an NFL QB.

What you posted isn't based on any type of fact but on how awfully you perceive the situation. When you say dumb poo like "writing was on the walls" you mean after one bad season? You are as bad as the Browns front office if you believe that. This came down to the owner trying to walk back giving kelly all the power. Kelly said no thus the firing. Not because he had lost the team or is a bad coach.

Yeah I mean look at all those players that spoke up for Kelly. There has to be one right?

He's a great college coach. But he thought he was going to come in and either take over or change the game. Like no one was gonna be able to challenge his offensive genius. Like defensive coordinators wouldn't be able to handle his fast paced plays. When in honesty, his own players couldn't handle it, especially his defensive units. His delusions made him a failure. As well as his piss poor personnel management. That is why he needs to go back to the ncaa.

Actually, everything I posted has been said and alluded to by experts close to the situation.

He gutted the roster...fact

He wanted complete control of all decision and made horrible ones...fact

He was said to never communicate with his coaches and players...fact

Many players were bashing him...fact

He won games early with Reid's roster and a gimmick offense.  Defenses adapted and their offensive scheme was exposed.

Lurie has a long history of sticking with coaches abs giving guys more opportunities than they deserved.  The fact that he made this decision when he did shows there were serious issues with Kelly

Thanks for playing though

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.

Funny part was: Wasn't even his coaching per se that got him in trouble.

It was his GM title (which he didn't need) that screwed him royally, acting as if players are interchangeable and faceless, at a whim-in his scheme.

It amazes me, the amount of college coaches who come to the pros (despite the numerous failures and examples before them) and try to do this.

Apparently, the most common player reaction has been "about time".

In fact, several players CSN's Derrick Gunn communicated with Tuesday night said, "It's about time."

"I've been texting back and forth with players and other people," Gunn said Tuesday night on Comcast SportsNet. "Some players said, 'I'm shocked, I didn't see this coming.' Several players have said — current players — have said, 'It's about time.'

"That's all you need to know — 'It's about time.' (He) lost them."
