Chip Kelly Fired
- Thread starter JohnRossEwing
- Start date
Soo...would anybody be surprised to see him as Titans HC next year?
Bye ya bish! Take that bs offense and your dumb personnel decisions with you.. Skins fan btw..
Shoot, why not? He is getting like 5 million a year for another couple years, I think...
With that said...teams that could/should be very interested in him...
PSU
Nebraska
Texas
Sounds like the Eagles wanted to take the GM part away from Kelly and Kelly refused. So they fired him.
Probably a bunch of college teams that wish this had happened a coup,e weeks ago.
It was only a matter of time. His nonsense was never a fit for the NFL, and his personnel decisions were laughable.
Despite all that has been mentioned above, if he would have won a handful more games he would likely still be there.
You sure like to cause trouble and stir the pot. I wish you had this much passion when Looney Tunes was running the program.
I would be interested in him at NU if it were reasonable for NU to be looking for another head coach right now. however that is not the case. I am very surprised about the timing of this termination. if it were a rift with the owner about GM responsibilities then i think CK was very near sighted. i think it was a mistake for him to have all of the GM and head coach keys to begin with. i think it would have been more interesting to see his offense with a much better QB. personally i think Kapernik would have been an interesting fit in Philly with
kelly. wiith that said perhaps the 49'rs are interested. the grind of the NFL perhaps does not fit well with some of the methods that CK has in regards to practice--not sure but i think CK is not done with the NFL.

After seeing some more reports on this subject I think it's safe to say Chip was as done with Philly as they were of him. When Leurie (sp?) asked him to fork over GM duties that was his ticket out, and he cashed it. Probably a good move for everyone. I also think he'll make a much better head coach at the next stop. Having said all that though, he never had a legit QB, if he had one, this story would probably have a different ending.
Why would anyone want him? I mean he's a .500 NFL coach?
Hay wait a minute.....I see what you did here. Very clever!
I cannot imagine that guy wanting to beg 18 y/o kids to com play for him again, so the NFL makes the most sense to me..However, if he went to a school like Texas or USC he could get top flight classes with the least amount of begging so if he does come back to college I would think one of those programs would be his likely landing spot. In the end, I think it will be the NFL and Titans.
I wouldn't put it past USC to have a change of heart. They have the money to buy out the recently hired head coach if they could land a guy like Kelly. Like him or hate him, the guy is an offensive genius and would put any team back on the map again very quickly.
I imagine Oregon might even consider taking him back if the chips (pun intended) fell properly.

No doubt Oregon would take him back, but I have an impossible time believing he would settle for Oregon. He could do better. USC or Texas, and I don't think he'd be a great fit at Texas to be honest. They'd do it, he'd prolly consider it, but USC seems like the natural fit if he wants to go back to college but man what a cluster that would be if they canned their new guy now. I don't see it, but you're right, they have the coin to do whatever they want.
Don't buy this one bit. Kelly strikes me as a massive ego. If a pro team will take him, which it sounds like he'll be a candidate, he stays in the pros.
I think Kelly believes that he never had a chance since he never had "his" quarterback. (Although wasn't he in charge of personnel when he traded for the slow, gawky Bradford?) His QB is in Tennessee. Tennessee needs a head coach. Kelly told Fox Sports that he wants to remain in the NFL, rather than return to college. Kelly also says he does not want to be the personnel guy.The only college jobs currently open are low-level.
In other news, Urban Meyer states that he was contacted by an NFL team.

Gruden has said a few times the only team he will ever come back for is the Oakland Raiders.
0% chance of that happening. With one call he could likely get a lot of coaches fired and land a high profile gig.

Pretty sure Strong has already hacked into Texas phone system and is routing all calls thru his cell phone for screening....
