If Pettine is not around next year, is Chip Kelly a good option?
-
Look, I'm not screaming for Pettine and Farmer to be fired. I find myself trying to strike a balance between our franchise desperately needing continuity, and also needing the right KIND of continuity. That being said, if Haslam decides to indeed "blow it up again", is Chip Kelly the kind of guy we want in Cleveland?
A few years ago, it was widely reported that Chip Kelly was our #1 candidate, and it even appeared likely that we would hire him. For whatever reason, it didn't work out, and he went to the Eagles with modest results. Kelly is a well-documented control freak, and he basically holds all of the keys to the Eagles personnel decisions and game planning (from what I understand). In my opinion, Kelly is a forward thinker and is different from other "NFL retreads" because of his scheme and willingness to take risks. I know this is a huge "if", but if Kelly is our guy, would Manziel be JUST the right kind of guy for his offense? (again, assuming that party boy is still on our roster) I've watched a few of the Eagles games, and I've seen both Bradford and Sanchez miss some pretty easy passes. Kelly appears to have a good understanding of what it takes to get guys open, and maybe Manziel's mobility adds an extra dimension to the Kelly offense that neither Bradford nor Sanchez can provide.
I know, I know...I'm completely reaching, and right now Pettine is under contract and so is Kelly. The only reason I posted this topic is that it's something else to talk about besides the Manziel cluster-taco, and Kelly had a brief connection to our team at one time. Add in the fact that Manziel could possibly be an awesome fit in Kelly's scheme, and this idea could get a little traction. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that both Kelly and the Eagles are tiring of each other.
So what do you think? Is this topic a complete waste of time, or is this something you hope gets explored?

He reminds me a bit of Butch Davis except Davis was a better coach than Kelly. Philly fans aren't too happy with him either, can't see any real good reason for him here

I'd be pretty happy with Dungy, and Manning as OC. Not that I think Flip deserves to go necessarily, but there's a dream ticket right there.

chip kelly...NO. He's a loose cannon, a little too outrageous.
Tony Dungy would be a great pick.

Chip Kelly...hell no!

Not sure Cleveland will want a spread. Kelly and Johnny would be a fit though.

Let's please hope Pettine is still around next year or we're gonna get another round of the sports world laughing and peeing on us.
That being said, if Manning says i'll be the OC if you hire Dungy as HC.....ok deal. Then people would understand why we fired Pettine. But if we fire pettine and go into beggar mode again, "pweeeeeessee come to Cleveland"....the franchise is done. We don't fire another head coach for YEARS without his replacement ready to go next day.
-
Yeah, that'd be a great fucking idea. Hire that choad after he falls on his ass in Philadelphia.

I think Chip Kelly can coach football, but he has proven he is incapable of managing a roster and calling all the shots personnel-wise. If he was willing to work for a GM, then he'd be worth another shot...
That being said, I don't think Philly gets rid of him just yet...
-
I fear his system has been figured out. His offense has sputtered big time this year. I would say no on Chip Kelly.

I would seriously eat my hat if Manning goes right from playing to being an OC. Why the hell would he want to do that? I just don't see it. Front office position for him, yeah I could see that happening but you really just don't see future HOF players taking coordinator jobs one year away from the playing field.

Oh I don't see it happening for sure, but it's been mooted. You've got to think with his robotic mechanics he'd be at least a great QB coach, and his reading of opposing Ds is good for play design/calling.

That's why I'd see him taking a front office position and then having the ability to help out with the planning and play calling.

Kelly? Absolutely NO!
Dungy? I have long been a Fan of his. Open the wallet Jimmy!
