A bombshell dropped on Tuesday night.
The Philadelphia Eagles have fired head coach Chip Kelly, and also have parted ways with Kelly’s yes-man Director of Player Personnel Ed Marynowitz.
Pat Shurmur has been named interim head coach.
More coming…

Let the games begin….
Fuck this is a cluster!
He deserved another year but it is what it is…moving on. Bring in a defensive guy and let’s get back to playing Eagles defense
No he did not..he made a mess out of this thing from top to bottom! He needed to go ASAP!!!
He deserved what he got, a GIANT GTFOH!!!!
Now this is worth talking about!!!
There is more to this than meets the eye…. Lurie is not an impatient man..This was not about the record.
HAC…the players did not like him…I am sure Lurie had the pulse of the players.
And tom Donahue is back…
Dave Wannstadt as the Next HC… Good Grief
Kudos to Jeff Lurie. ALOT OF RESPECT FOR lURIE
Lurie doesn’t fire coaches like this.
He must have pissed everyone off.
I mean. Damn.
I suspect that there was more to this as well. Chip Kelly is a classic example of overplaying your hand.
Is Ariens available?
Yeah!!! Best News of the Year for Philly Sports…
DCar, Now take Chip to the Airport As you Promised ..
Good Riddance
Paul, I haven’t been this happy about Eagles news since Terrell Owens in 2004!
Hell I will give DCAR the gas money…filler up!!!
Too late. He’s in my car and I just loaded his last suitcase.
Let him ride his fat, Barney Rubble ass on his bike, since he likes that so much! LMMFBO!
No, I might be tempted to run the car off of the 95 overpass, & ditch the last minute! GOOD RIDDANCE!
Get a defensive coach. Please Lurie a defensive 4-3 coach
This was the right move. Kelly should have been punished for the moves he made and the team he killed…
Strip this shit down. Release Murray etc. Bite the bullet and rebuild
Rumors on Chip Kellys Replacement
1) Jim Harbaugh from Michigan who desperately wants to return to the NFL
2) Sean McDermott from the Panthers while Pat Shurmur remains as the OC/Asst Head Coach
3) Current OC David Shula from the Panthers
Happy Days are hear again!!!
Paul I think #2 might be the best scenario
I like the #2 Scenario..Shurmur would keep some semblance and consistency with the Offensive Personnel and He & Bradford get along well..
Harbaugh is a nut case, we thought Chip Kelly has a big ego..
Harbaugh is a nut case who WINS.
I’d take his brand of nutty all day every day.
Paul, NO to all your suggestions for coach…ALL OF THEM……Pagano as DC as well….get outta here with more of that mediocrity……I have had enough, and so has Lurie…KUDOS TO THE OWNER, FOR FINDING HIS SCROTUM!!!
Ed Marynowitz, hip’s personnel guy, fired as well
Hey Kool…is Sam Bradford back???
I dont know…I’m shocked as hell that Lurie fired Kelly so quickly…
Who’s the Coach? What kind of offense will we run?
Who is available at the QB position?
This is a game changer…
Chip Kelly’s relationship with the Players was worse than what I thought…
I thought he had a chance to rectify it by getting rid of Riley Cooper…but obviously it was that bad. Getting rid of DJax, Maclin, and Shady caught up with the guy and Lurie is pissed…
But the million dollar question is who will be the new Coach?
Bradford wasn’t the issue it was chip and his controlling nature
So who will coach this team?
Who will be the QB for this roster moving forward?
Is that guy on this team?
My god so many questions
Fuck Chip. Throw some coaching names at me someone
Kelly didn’t kill the team dude…he tried to fix it. It just didn’t work his way. We won 10 games last year because of a opportunistic defense and special teams. Reality is the team probably wasn’t going anywhere no matter who was coaching. That was more on Andy Reid than chip. I ain’t mad at the move…something had to happen because this year was just embarrassing. I just can’t blame it all on chip
This debacle was all of his making. All his fault.
Seriously?!?! Who’s the coach & GM, & supposedly genius, that put this pack of abortions together? GTFOH with the excuses! Good f^#@ing riddance!
Didn’t see that coming.
Rex Ryan fling into Philly per Buffalo Sources…
Tom Donahue just e-mailed me Plane Tix to Philly for a Front Office Job!!
Sean Payton?
Sean Payton is under Contract with the Saints
He’s likely to be fired according to very persistent rumors.
Thank you for explaining that to Paul LadyT….
Paul, HE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE, worthy of consideration as the New Head Coach in my opinion, if he is fired – Oh did you notice, we wouldn’t have to trade for him…..
and Chip got fired despite his 2 years left on his contract – Dude, there is what some may want, and there is what’s needed despite the obstacles – and you were wrong Paul.
God, I hope he gets fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….and that could be why Lurie, didn’t wait until the end of the season – maybe he knows Payton will be fired, and wanted to go all in on him ASAP…..Just like GMCliff suggested.
I want Payton if he is available.
I’m right there with you.
Maybe Pagano, I really think he’s a decent coach, but is just losing the power struggle with the GM. In this division I think he’d eat everyone’s lunch.
Sean Payton wants toalControl so no go with him in Philly after the Kelly fiasco
Sean Payton will Run-things for the Indy Colts with Franchise QB A Luck already in tow
Why would Payton want to come to Philly where there is no GoodQB even on the Roster..
show me one article where he says that Paul…
and another that sat the Colts are ready to hand over the keys to him..
you have already been wrong so far as Chip. What makes you so confident, without any real facts….
dude just stop……you have no idea what he wants or where he would go.
No articles needed on Payton, common knowledge thst he & Saints GM Loomis have been on the Skids since the Suspension, the the Andrew Brees holdout,
Then the TE Jimmy Graham Holdout, then the Trading of Graham which pissed both Brees & Payton off..
Colts Owner is going to Fire both HCPagamo and GM R Grigson and will replace them with Sean Payton and would be even willing to trade the Saints Drsft Picks to accomplish…
I don’t articles or reports to know these things..
What was I wrong about Chip Kelly about?
I gave him thru 2016 , so he got fired 1 year ahead of schedule
Good Riddance for I didn’t like him, his college scheme , his Coaching ability and surely his Roster Management ability, talent evaluation at all
Hisdownfallwas easy to see coming though I will admit that it came faster than I thought it would..
You stated that because Kelly had 2 more years on his contract that Lurie wasn’t going to fire him because of the cost………and I stated that he should be more loyal to his investment, and the fans, and do the right thing for the long range best interest of the team, end the Chip Kelly project , and fire him.
You stated 2 years won’t happen wake up stop drinking the egg nog…..ehhh!!!….wrong…
admit it you were wrong Paul…C’mon you’ll feel better after you do it …..
Yu have no article??…Then all your doing is speculating Paul, and being very presumptuous in you predictions with no real insight or facts……….that doesn’t guarantee anything your saying……that’s my point,,,
Can Billy Davis be gone too?
This very well could have been a private conversation wih peters to confirm that kellys as an asshole…think Lurie said to him, we are hiring Donahue whether you like it or not
Eagles owner Jeff Lurie: “As I watched this season unfold, I determined that it was time to make a change.”
Lurie! Lurie! LURIE! Thought Kelly would have at least another season…especially since he created the mess…thought they would let him try and clean it up…..but now its someone else’s mess. now whoever replaces him will be given the benefit of doubt for next season…anyway this news is a breath of fresh air…now lets get rid of the DC
Amen Realtalk!
Have never been happier with Lurie than I am tonight!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, that’s Chip as he’s filling his suitcases full of Lurie’s money. Fuck Chip Kelly and the white duck he road into Philly on and the Lear Jet taking his ass out of Philly. All hail the LLCB is gone.
Amen!!!
I’m guessing that Lurie attempted to pull the GM stuff away, Kelly fought it, so Lurie canned him.
Kellys arrogant answer that he isn’t GM probably pissed off Lurie
I agree. I think Reid lasted as long as he did because Lurie admired his character. I think Chip twisting his job position in that interview was a real slap in the face to Lurie who emasculated Howie to keep Chip happy.
Kudos to Jeff Lurie, Chip was done here.
Yeah.
That’s what is being reported.
This is cool…LLCB gone! Big lion is breaking out some 25 year scotch tonight
Yep, saving a little for Jake’s crazy ass.
Thank you big lion. Hallelujah Hallelujah
We will move forward with a real coach Hallelujah
Lurie says that the team will begin coaching search asap. He, team president Don Smolenski and top exec Howie Roseman will lead the search
Sean McDermett welcome back
Where does Howie fit in?
I do think that Chip Kelly dissing and being rude to long time respected Philly Sports media guys like Ray Didinger and others really bothered Jeff Lurie who is personal friends with a lot of these long term writers who have covered the Eagles
Kudos to Lurie for correcting a mistake and manning up and doing something about it ..
Nah keep that McDermott shit he ain’t ready, don’t know if I could deal with that arrogant ass Payton unless Brees is coming with him.
Payton wins games.
And has a championship under his belt.
That works for me.
Agreed…Payton would be a smart play
No to Hue Jackson
No to Jim Schwartz
When Chip said he would try to beat the Giants next week Jeff said – You better get the F… out of here… lol
I wonder:
1 – Will the new head coach try to get a starting QB in the coming draft?
2 – Will we hire a GM first or a head coach?
3 – Will Chip go back to college or to the Titans?
MaJOR CHANGEs right after Jeff asked for it!!!!!!!
Big ups to lurie man he had too and did!!! I feel a lot more confident with this organization now even after chip fucking sabotaged us pretty bad
I swear chip was getting side money from Jerry jones to destroy us…
I’m sorry we need a few tank years to clean up the slop and get a real qb
Who the fuck cuts Mathis desean trades shady for Kiko and lets maclin walk??? And allows billy Davis to stay year after year ???
Great job lurie!!!!!
Thank u!
And gives up a 2nd for Bradford?????
Can u imagine Howie roseman right now????
Guaranteed he smashing smoothie blenders
Lighting that s8 chart on fire and taking a dump in his files
LMMBOOOO!!!!
The greatest ending to a 6-10 season ever, can they forfeit Sunday, lol hello Thad Lewis
I agree with Dag further up I’m dumping cats left and right out of that locker room and I don’t give a damn what your salary looks like, if he’s eating Chip’s money that ass needs to keep chewing. Maxwell, Murray, The Gimp they all gotta go with the quickness.
Had to happen
As I had stated earlier “would I be upset if he got fired? No. It would bring In a fresh face and make things exciting” I also said it would be best to hire a blue collar coach for a blue collar city.
What does this mean for Sam? Demarco? Our draft plans?
This is great news for DeMarco Murray, a more Traditional 2 Back Offense is where Murray is at his best
Players like Josh Huff, Kiko Alonso, Mark Sanchez, Taylor Hart, DC Billy Davis, OL Jeff Stoutland, QB Coach Todd Day are the ones pretty nervous about their Future
Among the things DeMarco Murray told owner Jeffrey Lurie weeks ago was that he had no confidence in Chip Kelly as head coach
Does the franchise stick with Bradford and Shurmur for the next 5 years?
No one lasts 5 Years ..
A Dark Horse Under the Radar Name to watch for after the Season is Over
Is LB Mike Vrabel of the Texans who had a nice long Career with the NE Pats and played under Belicheck and has now been the LB Coach under DC Romeo Crennell for the Texans helping them to become one of the best Defenses in the NFL
Maybe even Mike Vrabel as the next DC if Lurie wants to keep Pat Shurmur as the HC for 2016 would be a smart move ..
I just got 8n..from all accounts I heard today on NFL network chip through his power gauntlet..works when 10-6 he’s so stupid he doesn’t know 6-10 means you lost your leverage.i think Josh McDaniels would be Jeffreys guy..and bring back Baek and Tra Thomas as assistants
Josh McDaniels wouldn’t be a surprise.
Josh McDaniels will replace Belichek in New England when he retires, he’s not going anywhere and especially to a Team that has an unsettled QB situation as the Eagles have..
I believe Lurie Hires a Defensive Minded Coach or perhaps Pat Shurmur becomes HC in2016
It was not a good sign when Jeff Lurie gave the team a peep talk before the Pats game. I think he realized at that point that Chip had lost the players….
I’m really surprised that Kelly failed so miserably at communicating with players… He must be a dick…. I’ve worked for a few myself.
Are we 2-14 next year? Who is our qb? Butt fumble?
Also….this hiring/firing should forever end the stupid nfl owner thought process that the hotshot college coach is the answer… I know, spurrier, sabean, etc but this one wow
The lesson learned is not staying away from College Coach’s
It’s elevating 1 Man to be the Coach/GM/President over Football Operations
Basically 1 man running the Organization which is Just foolish to attempt
No ducks zones..signage at the nova care
I feel like chip was trying to throw someone under the bus when he said
‘I was told I can’t resign players mid season’. That was so embarrassing and such a lie lurie was probably like this guy is a certified delusional and had too
I don’t know if you can point to 1 really solid decision this guy has made
He always been a fraud liar
With his “I adjust my offense to my personnel and can run any system ” LIE
” I don’t want to be gm I just want to coach ” LIE
“I got rid of shady for money reasons ” FUCK OUTTA HERe lie
Jeffrey Lurie had a meeting with Chip Kelly today that didn’t go well. A decision was then made to fire him in the afternoon.
We already know that!!
Actually no Jon hart
Per glazer interview with chip he was called in to be fired no meeting.
Sean McDermott watch…
Rumors that 49ers want to talk to Chip Kelly as a HC only
Sam Bradford will likely follow him in Free-Agency plus the 49ers have a Top 5 Pick and will likely grab QB Jared Goff in the Draft securing their QB Position for a long while..
Wouldn’t it suck if Chip Kelly & 49ers Win the Super Bowl with Kelly as Coach
Good Grief !!!
Lmfao chip a few weeks ago admitted he attends zero defensive meetings hahahaaaa what a fraud he buried himself. Still Can’t believe Lurie made him gm to begin with. Roseman would’ve had us in a wayyyyyy better position for this year and last
