Funniest Chip Kelly memes after getting fired as Philadelphia Eagles coach

Kelly finished 26-21 with the Eagles, coaching just three seasons. Kelly was moderately successful in his first two years as the team’s head coach, compiling a 10-6 record in each of them.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly. Since Mar. 2014, Kelly let go three-time Professional Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson, traded two-time All-Professional running back LeSean McCoy, did not re-sign 2014 Professional Bowl wideout Jeremy Maclin, cut two-time Professional Bowl guard Evan Mathis & traded quarterback Nick Foles & a 2016 second-round draft decide for Sam Bradford.

“We appreciate all the contributions that Chip Kelly made and wish him every success going forward”, said Lurie. Ed Marynowitz, the team’s VP of player personnel, also received his walking papers.

Kelly sought total control over the roster last offseason from Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, and Lurie granted it to Kelly while shoving aside front office executive Howie Roseman, who lost his power but not his job.

Kelly was hired on January 16, 2013, replacing Andy Reid, who had served as coach for 14 seasons.

Kelly’s tenure started off with an emphatic bang in Landover, MD, when the Eagles went on the road to face the reigning NFC East champion Washington Redskins.

According to Eliot Shorr-Parks of NJ Advance Media, the Eagles neglected to tell their players that they had relieved Kelly of his duties. Kelly obviously has the proper scheme to fit Mariota’s abilities and not to mention he used to coach him at Oregon. He believed a system that worked in college, with superior athletes playing at a faster pace than most teams, would translate smoothly to the NFL. Clearly, Kelly must learn that dealing with National Football League players is different from dealing with college players.

Later in the program, Acho stated that if he were a general manager, he would hire Kelly as a head coach if he got the chance.

Kelly also had final say on all player personnel, which appears to have been his undoing.

One NFL writer, Will Brinson from CBS Sports, agrees that the Titans would be number one on Kelly’s short list, but not too far down on that list is a familiar name. He still has four years left on that deal and if the Cowboys were to fire him now, then it would cost Jerry Jones a buyout of $24 million. The difference is, Kelly won’t be walking into a team with a ton of established talent. He additionally gave huge cash in free agency to running back DeMarco Murray & cornerback Byron Maxwell.

Kelly’s offense was dynamic his first season and set several franchise records. “He’s a builder of a roster, culture-builder; he’s everything that I think we all thought when we all interviewed him and more”.

The Tennessee Titans have been searching for a head coach who can help the team return to winning, or at least something close to it. Ever since the departure of Jeff Fisher things have taken a turn for the worst. The Eagles did not have a strong front-office power structure with a dominant football voice who would automatically command deference and respect.

The Eagles will face the Giants in a game where the two are already eliminated from the playoffs.
