Flip Released

[gumby73]

Flip got trapped in a HC hire with higher expectations in play calling.(like his own) Good on Hue not to drag Flip any longer. Good Luck John DeFilippo!!

Good luck , Flip.

[sisky fringo]

damn. was hoping Flip was retained and that he desired to stay enough to work under Hue in whatever the new capacity called for.

good luck (in L.A.) Flip...

IMO more important that we retain O'Connell...

We're not. Somebody reported that a couple days ago I think.

Flip did some good things but Hue ran some awesome schemes this year. Flip will get a gig somewhere though, he's a good mind as well.

Here it is. It looks certain he's gone. You would think that they would keep him so there is some continuity with JFF. Oh wait.

I really like what Flip did.. Even with all of JFF's distractions.. He got good play from the QB's , except Austin 'powerless' Davis.

Pretty standard stuff when you hire a new OC

Also Hue doesn't want an OC

Assistant Head Coach, Offense. But NO...that's not the same as an Offensive Coordinator? Semantics. Some teams out there that have designated OCs do not have their OCs call plays. Andy Reid calls his own plays....and several others.

Good luck to you Flip!

I agree it is semantics if we call him Assistant HC versus OC, but we don't know for sure what the staff will look like.
