Eagles Or Chip Kelly, Somebody Changed Their Mind

Somebody gave in somewhere for the Eagles to be able to sign Oregon’s Chip Kelly as their new head coach.  When Jeffrey Lurie began the search for a new head coach, he said GM Howie Roseman would play a major role in the draft and player personnel decisions.

During the news conference to fire Andy Reid, Lurie said he and Roseman had not decided whether the new head coach or Roseman would have final say on player personnel decisions.  He said they would keep their options open depending on the coach they were dealing with and the situation.

The former Oregon head coach had originally said he wanted to have final authority on player personnel decisions.  That may have been the impasse, which prevented Kelly from signing his deal before.

In another scenario, Kelly may have gone back to Oregon and got a clearer understanding of how soon his program was going to get hit with sanctions by the NCAA for recruiting violations.  That bleak future may have influenced Kelly to lower his demands.  Whatever the case they have a deal, but somebody changed their mind.

Lurie might have dreamed about Kelly after seeing the New England Patriots quick-snap the Houston Texans while humiliating them in a playoff game.  He might have dreamed about Kelly after seeing Colin Kaepernick run for over 180 yards against the Green Bay Packers.  Lurie had to have been thinking about Kelly as RGIII and Russell Wilson lit up the NFL this year.

Lurie just released a statement about the signing of Kelly.

“Chip Kelly will be an outstanding head coach for the Eagles,” said Lurie. “He has a brilliant football mind. He motivates his team with his actions as well as his words. He will be a great leader for us and will bring a fresh energetic approach to our team.”

Kelly is the guy who Lurie wanted all along.  He was the guy, who was talked about all season long.

JUST SICK TO MY STOMACH. ANOTHER “OFFENSIVE KNOW IT ALL” who likes tiny players. and no defense….

What the fudge happened to this organization?

JUST SICK…..

The only thing worst than this news is sitting througth another 21/2 hours of Les Miserable’s non stop signing…if you can call it that.

Damn. We had Gus Bradley and we let him go….

I am truly crying. My life stinks….

Russell Crowe mad Les Miserables as painful as watching the Eagles play last year.

Violations easily may be the reason he left.

To be fair if they hire a “competent” D coordinator i can deal with this signing.

Give Lurie credit for having the balls to go against the grain.

I also think Roseman will have to go through Kelly to make his system work.

Although this may spark even more criticism of Lurie and Roseman, in all honesty Chip Kelly is better qualified for the HC job than Bradley. His offense may be suspect, but he has won consistently at every level and I’m not going to knock his system until I see it in action next year. The offense has a ton of speedy, athletic players at many offensive positions so it will be interesting to see how he utilizes guys like Desean, McCoy, and Maclin. My biggest concern is if we’ll have to watch Vick another year…

You know the real shame of it all..
We go 14 Years with Andy Reid, and now lets say 5-7 Years or more with
Chip Kelly and his similar small be fast philosophy is that there is an entire generation of Philadelphia Eagle Football Fans that don’t know that the Franchise was once very proud of it’s blue-collar, lunch pale, work ethich with tough,hard-noses players that would slap you around for 60 minutes…
We haev kids/young adults that will now know nothing of the sort but only now of Sread Offenses, 6-2 250 DE”s, 5-9 & 5-10 WR’s, and playing “Gadget Fottball” with gimmicks instead of playing “Man-up Foootball” .. I hate what this Franchise has become.. Gov Rendell was right, Philly has become the
“City of Wussies”

Who cares who changed their mind? The bottom line is, they got the guy who was their number 1 choice, here goes what one of his former players has to say

Former Oregon running back LaMichael James, now with the 49ers, is certain Kelly’s system will succeed in the pros.

“One hundred percent, yes,” James told CSNBayArea recently. “I don’t think anything can stop that offense – NFL, college or high school, no matter what it is. I think Washington runs a similar offense, and I like the way they do their things, too. I think it would be kind of similar to that, I think a little faster though.

“I think he can be one of the best coaches in the NFL. I respect him, he’s a super-great coach, and that’s the only thing I can say about him. He’s just great.”

Hopefully Chip Kelly will have final say on personnel. Even though I’m not thrilled being as specific a group of needs as he’ll have in personnel to even have a realistic shot at being successful he’s going to have to have his fingerprints all over personnel selection. I am at least open to the idea that he could craft some scheme similar enough to the Patriots offense that it could work.

I think a lack of confidence has been the reason Kelly hasn’t made the move to the NFL, he’s been quoted as saying he himself doesn’t know if the system he runs at Oregon will work in the NFL and that lack of confidence concerns me even if I appreciate his candor.

Rather than caving to power demands probably the offensive personnel already here excites him with the possibilities and he decided to relinquish his fear of failing.

I believe that.. word at U or Oregon is that Chip Kelly experience has kind of run it’s course out there and they already made plans to move on without him and were not expected his return after this Season.. He’s built them up to a Top 10 Program but is not a home-boy or very well liked there on a personal level per sources..
The big Booster (Kevin Knight from Nike) has plenty of deep pockets to hire whomever he wishes..
From Kelly’s Persepctive, he’s from New Hampshire and his Dream Job is to Coach the Patriots but that’s not going to happen anytime soon but is up for a new challenege and wants to go the NFL and prove his Coaching Skills nand build an NFL Program like he did in ORegon, with youth, speed and energy and a positive attitiude.. I think the more he thought about, the more enticing the Job in Philly began to look.. A city starved for a Championship, some good,young players who can assemilate to his system rather easily.. All things considered, he was not a very good fit for
Cleveland, Buffalo and the other Teams that were interested in him..

This is a bad bad dream. It simply can not be true.

No experience drafting players…

No experience coaching multi-millionaires…..

No experience on putting a defensive staff together….

No experience period…

Thanks Jeffery Loser.

Consider Kelly’s comments regarding Foles just over a year ago after Foles threw for 398 yards in an Arizona loss to Oregon.

“I’ll tell you what; I’m glad Nick Foles is graduating,” said Kelly. “I catch myself watching him in awe sometimes. … Nick is a hell of a football player. That kid’s a warrior. He’s as good as anyone in the country.”

January 16, 2013 1:32 pm

We’ve all read that Sean…..but it only works if he modifies the read-option (which I think he is willing to do) Otherwise you do need 3-4 low paid Qbs on the roster like repski says as they will be changed out every 6 weeks because they’ll continually be planted into the turf.

Right at this moment the read-option is successful i(SF, Wsh and a little bit in Seattle)…but that’s only because Pro-defenses haven’t adjusted yet. They will.

I hope he brings elements like the extreme hurry-up, agressiveness, abandoning the punt…..but leaves most of the read-option business back at Oregon.

I guess those fake ass “reporters” on here were flat out wrong about no more college guys after Brian Kelly said no lol…

Anyway on the hiring, I like the excitement and unknown that we have going forward. However, I was not a Chip guy, never wanted him. I would have rather had Gruden as HC and Lovie as Dcord. Or Bradley, Fangio, or Roman. I hope i’m wrong. I don;t like the fact that he was indecisive about this decision. Fr him to decline at first, go back to Oregon, and now change his mind tells me he had one foot in the NFL and one still back in college. I don’t like that. But again I hope Im wrong and he does in fact bring us that Lombardi.

If chip Kelly brings his gimmick offense to this city forget it, paulman, the type of football we saw decades ago doesn’t exist in the minds of these new football, fantasy geeks, fans, gms like Roseman, it’s tough to have your hopes so high that the birds were going back to their roots with a proven defensive coach, but we have a fast talking, slickster , more gimmicks than Andy now in charge of the eagles, you will see plenty of highlights in the early part, more fastballs, but ultimately no championship, this is a bad day for eagles fans

Well luckily there are a couple low cost mobile quarterbacks in free agency (T. Jackson, J. Cambell, S. Wallace) and I think with no other options Kelly will have to roll with Foles this season. I think Kelly’s system fits with the personnel we have right now, but our defense needs a lot of help. But with one or two solid additions to the O-line the offense is pretty much complete. I think it would actually be better for the Eagles to sign a good OT in free agency because Joeckel is not a guarantee at #4. Why don’t any mock draft specialists have the Eagles selecting Milliner from Alabama? Looking at this years free agent class I have to say the CB position is probably the weakest and we should be desperate for help in the secondary.

Look at what Brian KElly did @ ND. He was known as an offensive guru, came to ND, realized it was going to take a D to win and he stack the D.

Face it, we dont know what is ahead, we can speculate all day long, but it does not fucking good to state that we know something about this guy. How oftern did you see oregon in the great northwest? 10X in the last years at most?

Don’t forget OLB Barkevious Mingo from LSU at 6-4 240 is another freakish athelte but kind of raw, I see him as a Bruce Irvin type adn potentiall an Alson SMith Type once he puts on 15lbs of muscle/strength..

Something to think about .. If OT Joeckel is on the Board at #4 , maybe a Trade to the SL Rams for their 2 1st Round PIcks (#16 & #22) could be possible..(an their 4th or something too)

1st Rd

at #16 — Eagles Select CB Xavier Rhodes (FLorida State 6-1 217lbs)
at #22 — Eagles Select DE Alex Okafor (Texas 6-5 265lbs)

2nd Rd
at #36 — Eagles Select Safety Eric Reid (LSU 6-2 215lbs)

Land 3 Starters from Day 1 would be a nice start to rebuilding the Eagle Defense..

It will be interesting to see thats for sure. They let Ryans go in Houston because of the 3-4 so who knows what will happen now with him. Maybe they resign Cullen Jenkins at a lower number to make it a smoother transition at least for the first year. When I watch Moore he does remind me a little bit of Demarcus Ware. Or maybe Star is there at number 4 who knows. I don’t think Joeckell makes it to 4

or even a John Jenkins from Georgia in the 2nd Round (6-3 350lbs)
could be your Nost Tackle with Antonio Dixon as Back-up

then you slide Fletcher Cox/C Thornton or C Jenkins at DE..
Use T Cole, B Graham as Stand up OLB’s with Ryans/Kendricks in the middle and could Rotain a Curry/Hunt at DE or Pass-Rushers to give Cox/Jenkins a blow… Add another ILB (Nico Johnson from Alabama in the 3rd Round) and there you have it ..

Yea there definitely is depth as DT in this draft. Another name to keep in mind might be Jay Ratliff. Even though he is past his prime Cowboys have some cap issues and will need to make decisions on Anthony Spencer as well.

I like Chase Thomas from Stanford a lot. Chip Kelly knows all about him too…I think he will be a special player we could grab in round 2-3. Not sure how he would work in a 3-4 system tho…but big physical tackler which is what we need

I am not in favor of this hire but as an Eagles fan I will give Kelly his chance to input his system. There is so much not to like in this hire and I will not list them here. Many of the fellow contributors have done that.

I am a fan first and have been since the Kucharich days. Kelly will have my support. I am not worried about this team scoring points. If he can provide improvement in the red zone alone that will be sufficient. My concern still is the defense. This defense could not stop anyone during the season. They could not sack the QB, could not stop the pass, could not get turnovers.

The secondary needs to be totally rebuilt. Another linebacker needs to be found. They need to become big and physical.( That’s why I wanted Bradley).

I don’t think Kelly will be able to bring enough innovation to score enough points that defense won’t matter.

The next two critical steps will be the hiring of a DC and the draft which I hope will be heavily oriented towards defense.

Chip you have my support. As a lifelong Eagles fan I will give you my total support. If you fail my anger will not be towards you but directed at Jeff Lurie.

Georgia also has a Couple of Safetied that are projected mid-rounders
Baccari Rambo and Greg Wiilliams
I see Georgia a lot on TV here in the South and their a defense has been strong the last couple of years under Grantham
He definitely will light a fire under the Defense and if Jarvis Jones stitching at #4 would be to hard to pass up
Remember that CB Boynkin played for DC Grantham also
