Chip Kelly fired

[LondonBrown]

They gave him all the power and have given him less than a year to see it through, it's madness. They won at Foxboro less than a month ago.

No way! This guy signed Demarco Murray and didn't play him! Did anyone watch their last two games? I can't believe he'd rather lose than play Murray! I hope we don't acquire this guy. Maybe he goes back to college, hopefully! He's an NFL bust!

They just said Pat Shurmer will be interim coach for Sunday.

[cdl15]

Shurmer one game to shine.

[Opal312]

Watch them get Adam Gase or Marrone

[LondonBrown]

I want Marrone if Pettine is going

[Mark O]

I'm glad he didn't want to come here.

[One Post]

Kind of weird how the announcement of Gus Bradly keeping his job at J-Ville then the Chip Kelly firing just hours after. I guess it's Black Tuesday.

[Tim Couch Pulls Out]

We'll offer him GM control

[The Gipper]

Seriously? Why bother with one game left. And Shurmur?

Good God y'all.

Man, I'd hate to have a coach that didn't play FA players instead playing his guys and lost on the field consistently..

sorry, had to take it.

[LondonBrown]

If Jimmy is really as enamoured with Johnny as people say/think, I dont see how he doesn't go for Chip?

He tried to recruit him for Oregon lest we forget

I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed...

He played Murray. Murray just isn't a good fit for his style. Which is why it was a strange pick up. Check the stats, the other backs averaged much higher than Murray did in ypc.

Per Sal Paolantonio Lurie wanted to strip Chip Kelly of personnel control. Chip balked. Lurie fired him.

[beare]

he will end up with titans my prediction think mariotta who he coached and prob the 1st pick in the draft

[gumby73]

Lurie owes him $$$/yrs.??

Considering the job he did with the Beagles in player moves, NO THANKS.

And yet he has more wins than the last three Browns coaches combined...

I guess in Cleveland, "setting your franchise back" means "winning games".
