News just came out that Chip Kelly has been fired by the Eagles. Anyone college teams still looking for a head coach?
I knew he was having problems there due to the fact that he is really difficult to get along with, but wow. I'm shocked.
He won't be out of work long, I'm sure.
He's not a NFL coach,I'm not shocked at all
My sources: Chip Kelly next HC at Ball State
Agreed. There's a reason you see more NFL assistants getting NFL HC jobs instead of successful college coaches. Don't know the exact reasons for Kelly's dismissal, but the NFL is a whole different game than college when it comes to scheme.
He wasn't fired due to X's and O's
He turned nick foles into a fringe MVP candidate
His schemes were working fine. The bigger problem was that everyone hated him and he got rid of a lot of his talent.
I bet he ends up as HC of Tennessee Titans with Mariota. If not there, then Charlie Strong should start sweating
Dang, If Claeys had waited one more day to hire an OC he could've made a run at Chip.
In all seriousness, the story is that Lurie wanted him to relinquish his GM duties and be only head coach. When Kelly balked he was canned.

No disrespect to Claeys but Kelly would have been a home run hire for us especially with Seth Green coming in
A sitting NFL head coach would've been a home run hire for Minnesota, you say? No sh1t, huh? Are you sure that you're not a professional analyst? Normally this type of insight is really expensive, and here you are just giving it away!

Just offer Belichik. He'll jump to the gophers in a heartbeat... [emoji99]

I think a lot of coaches will be sweating if this happens. Jim Mora, Charlie Strong, Kevin Sumlin, Les Miles.If he takes a year off, and Gus has another bad year down here in Auburn, you can bet that they will throw a bunch of money at him.
This, he'll be going to Tennessee. Mariota and now gets to coach Cobb as well.

I disagree. He was 26-21 with a bunch of misfit quarterbacks. I thought he was doing okay. He was no Saban. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get another gig somewhere in the NFL.
