Philadelphia Eagles’ brain trust to be Howie Roseman, Tom Donahoe, coach

Vermeil thinks the Eagles would be best served replacing Kelly with someone who has National Football League experience as a head coach. “I would call it – I would call it a style of leadership that values information, all the resources that are provided, and at the same time, values emotional intelligence”. “I just think he didn’t have a good way to go about it. Sometimes he came off a little bit standoffish toward y’all”. Eagles’ Owner/Chairman/CEO Jeffrey Lurie, released a letter (statement) on the team’s website to the fans.

Plenty more firings will take place next Monday, but the Philadelphia Eagles couldn’t even wait the extra six days to axe Chip Kelly, who had won 10 games in each of his first two seasons before struggling in his third.

“I was fascinated by how they practiced”, Vermeil said. “But like I said before, we as players just didn’t play well enough for him”. I will miss them very much and I will be rooting for them to achieve their dreams. “Life is all about responding to challenges and seizing opportunities”. “It was a clear and important decision that had to be made”, he said.

Rumors regarding the new head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles are in full swing, and while numerous potential candidates make flawless sense, some of them are unrealistic.

I’d say it’s really disappointing.

“I’m not surprised by anything in this business, but that one was close, ” Coughlin said. “I think every guy did that as well …”

These were just a couple of the decisions he made as general manager that could be said to be the reason the Eagles fired Chip Kelly, as they didn’t want to deal with these and similar sorts of decision making issues moving into next season. The Eagles entered the season with Super Bowl expectations, but are 6-9. Eagles interim head coach Pat Shurmur was on the practice field Wednesday.

Lurie doesn’t regret taking a risk to hire Kelly.

“Maybe the ego got in the way”, he said. But there was an obvious disconnect between coach and players.

Quarterback Sam Bradford, who could be a free agent after the season, said he still wants to return next year despite all the uncertainty.

“Chip’s a great coach”.

“It’s the best situation in the league”, Belichick said. Lurie said he met with players as a group Wednesday and had smaller meetings planned with them later in the day. “But it’s disappointing to look at coaches like (former Buccaneers) coach (Greg) Schiano or (former Raiders, Broncos and Washington) coach (Mike) Shanahan or coach Kelly or guys like that”. Tom Donahoe, who has been our senior football advisor since 2012, will assume the role of senior director of personnel.
