Agent for Eagles player: Chip Kelly has lost the team
Johnson also appeared on 97.5 The Fanatic, the ESPN station in Philadelphia. But in the end, he thinks Kelly may be meant for another place. Billy Davis is the current Eagles defensive coordinator, and he’s completely unknown because Kelly sucks up all the oxygen in Philly.
The reality of the situation is, however, that Kelly isn’t going to leave because of players who don’t buy in – just ask DeSean Jackson.
It’s true. Kelly does have a job, but how long does he have that job?
Another anonymously sourced story in Philadelphia had a player saying that when running back DeMarco Murray slid instead of trying to break a tackle, it showed that Murray isn’t fully invested in the team.
There is a difference between being mad behind the scenes about how Kelly runs the team and letting it impact your effort on Sunday.
If Kelly does leaves the Eagles after the season and returns to the college ranks, Schefter said there’s one school he will not join. Kelly gets a ton of flak for blowing the team up and not keeping the previous cornerstones of the team. Not 24 hours after they dropped their second straight game to a team a lot of people expected them to handle, Kelly looked into a host of cameras that were recording his every word and, with a straight face, claimed the Eagles “have a really good football team”. He is just too competitive to willingly take a step back. While that played when the team was winning, patience has worn especially thin as the Eagles have stumbled to a 4-6 record.
Philadelphia’s offense has taken a dive from a season ago, and a number of Kelly’s moves this offseason haven’t panned out.
That player personnel guy Kelly wanted next to him at all times?
With various positions such as that of LSU being speculated as a good fit for Kelly, his future in Philadelphia certainly has a dark cloud looming over it. If the Eagles travel to Detroit and come away with a loss, speculation will only continue to grow.
Things have not exactly gone according to plan for Chip Kelly. But based on his first two seasons in the league, there was a sense of… What the heck happened? GM Kelly has “blessed” Coach Kelly with a roster incapable of winning.
