Chip Kelly Named New SF 49ers Coach

He had a 46-7 record through four seasons at the collegiate level. “… If Kelly can straighten things out with Kaepernick and get him back to the way he was, this team could catapult way back up the ranks and be a contender again”.

However, center Jason Kelce said Kelly had gone out of his way to make sure players stayed fresh and told WIP, “I can tell you this – training camp was a lot harder when we had Andy Reid than when we had Chip Kelly”.

Chip possesses all the qualities we were looking for in our next head coach. “He has demonstrated the ability to be innovative everywhere he has coached and has had great success throughout his career”.

Consider this, from a discussion I had with Shady McCoy (yes, the same guy who purportedly can’t stand Chip now) back in December 2013 on sports science: “It’s the small things you don’t think about: the nutrition, the sleep, the way we train. He is an extremely driven individual that I look forward to working with”, said San Francisco General Manager Trent Baalke.

The Eagles still are trying to figure out why he made some of the moves he made during his three years in Philadelphia.

One-sentence summary: “Following each game, Kelly and Eagles Game Plan host Brian Baldinger used the All-22 to break down the biggest plays and performances”.

Today, those 49ers hired Kelly as their next head coach. “It’s interesting that it’s come around and now Chip Kelly has the potential to coach Colin Kaepernick for the Red and Gold”. With Thursday’s hire of Kelly, however, Kaepernick could be the ideal fit for the new coach’s energetic offense if he can get his game back on track.

Not long after the 49ers hired Chip Kelly on Thursday, once-discounted Colin Kaepernick merchandise in the team’s online store returned to full price. “I think I understand what the fans want”, he said.

According to one source for Cam Inman of the Mercury News, neither the 49ers nor Kelly reached out to him during the coaching search. “Chip Kelly knows how to win”. Now, we get to find out if his work with the Eagles was incomplete because he was stuck with statues at quarterback or if he was a socially dysfunctional know-it-all unable to adapt to the National Football League game and its players.

Now, it’s the 49ers who have made a bold choice. Assistant head coach/defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro also figures to join Kelly, though that hasn’t been officially confirmed. The former OR coach was 6-9 in 2015 after two 10-6 seasons, prompting Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie to make a change. “Excited for Coach McAdoo”, Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara said in a text.

San Francisco finished the year at 5-11 and fired first-year head coach Jim Tomsula. And while Kelly has his shortcomings, he also has a history of making quarterbacks more efficient. A second chance awaits, as the 49ers selected Armstead with their first-round draft pick previous year, and he played as a reserve pass-rusher until starting the season finale.
