Eagles’ Coach Chip Kelly booted out of Philadelphia

Belichick has also organized practices with Kelly’s team in the preseason.

Eagles owner Jeff Lurie gave Kelly his walking papers, then announced the decision in a note posted to the team’s website Tuesday night.

“I’ve have a hard time coaching a Pop Warner team today”, he said with a laugh.

This was really a three-year evaluation of where we’re heading, what is the trajectory, what is the progress or lack thereof and what do I foresee for the future. “Chip Kelly, to me, is a really good football coach and he does a great job”. There’s a lot of examples.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, meanwhile, said they planned to retain head coach Gus Bradley for at least one more season.

“Chip was great to me”. “Chip was great to me”, he said. At the time, it was thought of by some as little more than players who were angry that they weren’t wanted taking shots at an ex-coach, but Lurie’s comments could indicate that there’s more to it than that.

“It’s never an easy decision to release a head coach or change head coaches”. He also called New England “the best situation in the league”. He admitted, though, it wasn’t until his fourth season as head coach that he felt his program was fully in place. Some of those players, one being right tackle Lane Johnson believed that Kelly’s stubborn disposition could have been read the wrong way Others like quarterback Sam Bradford was in complete shock when he got the news about Kelly’s firing, but remained indebted to Kelly and his teaching. “But, I mean, look, I’m not there”. “You always want anybody that has been a part of this program to have success later on. So he’s a guy that I respect and I think he’s a good guy, and he’s a really good football coach”. They’re just not a good team period and the Washington Redskins deserved to win the NFC East division, they were truly the better team on both sides of the ball. “But there are dangers in that when you make significant changes after two 10-6 seasons in a row”. Normally one coach is different from the previous coach – you don’t see a lot of whoever the first coach is, the second coach is kind of a carbon copy of the second coach, the third coach is kind of a carbon copy of the second coach. But there was an obvious disconnect between coach and players. Very rarely do you have those scenarios in the NFL. And often with a new philosophy, a new scheme isn’t far behind. As it ultimately turned out, his approach left him shouldering the blame for the Eagles being a downright bad team in 2015. You have 22- to 35-aged people, people who are elite athletes, and there are a lot of issues.
