Chip Kelly fired
-
Kelly gave us the snub before.
No thanks
Difference was back then that he was THE dude everyone wanted. He got humbled a lot in this situation and don't forget the Browns wanted him really badly. The Titans make a crazy amount of sense but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Jimmy gives him a phone call.

Just asking, not implying, but why are people opposed to Chip when he won 10 games in his first two seasons and did so well as a College coach?

He meddles in player acquisition and from the looks of things doesn't know how to do that at all. Chip had talent left over from Andy Reid then shipped it all out as soon as he got control as GM.

Ha!....The Chipper got axed.....well, no surprise there.....talk about dismantling a team....
And he pretty much took Haslem for a ride during the last mating season and then turned, thumbed his nose and went elsewhere.....so, it would shock me if Haslem just sets that aside and tries again.....
No....I think Jimmys pride wouldnt allow him to make that call.....

I'd be intrigued and wouldn't hate it.
Pros:
He went 10-6 his first two seasons
26-21 overall.. Better than any coach we've had
Manziel "broke his heart" when he decided to go to A&M instead of Oregon. Said Mainziel was " Tailor-made" for his system.
We have a good offensive personnel for his high octane offense (especially if Gordon gets back on the field) mobile qb, big #1 receiver, speedy #2, quick possession receivers
Cons:
His ego: He needs to let a GM pick the players
Defensive players hate him because he doesnt believe in time of possession, so defense plays 80+ snaps a game
Some players accuse him of racism
He's not a "people person" some players don't like the way he sees them as cogs in his system and not as humans

I don't think Kelly has any interest in coaching here by how it went before; and, I am not really a Kelly fan anyway (great in college but will not go anywhere in the NFL).

What college job openings are out there? Or about to be out there? USC filled, Miami filled...in fact, almost every job filled:

I don't know if there is anywhere left for him to go to? Unless someone else gets canned at a high profile program.

I will take up knitting next year if this happens cause I won't be watching on Sundays. Hell fucking no. Send him back to college. Last thing we need is someone experimenting with the offense just as Filipo's scheme is starting to show some signs of life. Kelly will come in and tear it all up and we're gonna be facepalming all season long. Even moreso than this year.
-
And the absolute last thing we need is someone offloading what little talent we have. That guy gutted philly for really no good reason.

........gutted......
The perfect word to describe his tenure.....
-
Nope. He took a team with legitimate playmakers in Maclin, McCoy and Jackson, and decided he didn't like them, and has replaced them with players he handpicked that don't suit his system or just didn't work out.

and while I wouldnt take Kelly.....
I would sign Bradford(UFA) and put him in there with McCown and Austin.......

That would be a wise decision. Trade JM to Dallas and everybody's happy.

Don't let him make personnel decisions. When given a roster, he went 20 - 12 in two seasons. Would be nice to have that in Cleveland. Let a coach coach, and a GM evaluate talentNope.

Absolutely not. It would get in the way of our losing culture.
Can't start winning games, then people will start expecting us to be...gasp...good.

I'd be very surprised if the next gig Kelly gets if in the NFL would be what he got in Philly. With that in mind, you have to look at how Kelly is as a coach. I'm on the fence about that but my bet is he signs on as either the HC of the Titans or OC somewhere else.
