Jeffrey Lurie Releases Statement On Chip Kelly Firing

There is no way on God’s green earth that the fans of Detroit would ever welcome Kelly to coach their team. But the coach sounded resolute about the team he assembled. With a combination of bad coaching, lack of talent, sub-par quarterbacks and injuries the Titans have been unable to win. It steadily declined the next two years. He finished with a 22-26 record. Mike Mularkey took over as the interim coach and is now 2-6. The Titans are the team that would allow him to stay so pig-headed. Philly has possession late in the third quarter down six points and had all the game’s momentum, right until DeMarco Murray mishandled a pitch that was scooped up by the Redskins and returned for what was essentially a game-winning touchdown.

Delhi HC questions exemption to two-wheelers, women under odd-even scheme
Schools have been ordered to stay closed till the trial ends on January 15 in order that their buses may be pressed into motion. The Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to entertain a plea, seeking exemption for lawyers in the Odd-Even formula.

When he hired him, Lurie called Kelly a “brilliant football mind… who will be a great leader for us”. But the story, no matter how it ends up being written, is quite simple: Chip Kelly was done in by two of the biggest coaching cliches.


Despite obstacles, Brees strong in 38-27 win over Jaguars
Two of the most inspirational players on the roster, cornerback Delvin Breaux and running back Tim Hightower, each had big games. If the Saints were still in playoff contention, Saints fans would write songs, poems and build shrines to Brees’ performance.

Well, if Kelly has his way, it will be with an National Football League team, not college. Chip and Marcus won two bowl games together. He brought his up-tempo offense and a unique approach that included monitoring players’ sleep habits, changing the menu in the cafeteria and playing loud music during practices.

Mesut Ozil is probably your co-front runner for Premier League player of the year as we’ve now reached the midpoint of the season. Congrats on your record, Petr, and hopefully we’ll get you a trophy with red and white ribbons on it at the end of this season.

The Eagles also fired Ed Marynowitz, vice president of player personnel. The issue for that new coach is how much power will he have when he comes in?

If the Dolphins really are interested in Kelly, they’ll have to sell it to the fans after he was sacked after just three seasons in Philadelphia.

The fit seemed obvious, but there was a problem before Tuesday: Kelly had a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly leaves a news conference Monday, Dec. 28, 2015, in Philadelphia. Former Bills head coach Doug Marrone deserved a job this year and is probably the safest option to put together a quality team. Kelly’s fast-tempo offense is run out of the shotgun, minimizing what Murray could do. Kelly also dealt quarterback Nick Foles for quarterback Sam Bradford in a move in which he also sacrificed the Eagles’ second-round draft choice in 2016. In the year Losman was drafted, Donahoe attempted to trade up in the draft to select Miami of OH quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but was unable to do so.

It wasn’t too long ago that Kelly breathed new life into an Eagles franchise looking for a fresh start after 14 seasons with Andy Reid at the helm.

I don’t think this means that Kelly’s college-proven system can’t work in the NFL. Some say he could return to the NCAA but the only available jobs at the moment are Ball State and Texas State.
