Chip Kelly out as head coach in Philadelphia

And it looked like Chip Kelly was about to tie himself to Sam Bradford.

Kelly brought that offense to the Eagles, changing the entire atmosphere at the NovaCare Complex and around the team. 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. Kelly, although he flickered out in Philadelphia, should be added to the list of coaches that the 49ers would have to consider if the position becomes available.

One week before he was set to coach the final game of his third season in Philadelphia – the first in which the Eagles wouldn’t finish with double-digit wins – Chip Kelly was “released” by the team, a semantic phrasing that opens the imagination to deciphering the spin that will surely come in the next few days. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made a decision to fire Kelly on Tuesday, along with the GM Ed Marynowitz.

Tom Donahoe, senior adviser for the Eagles since 2012, is the acting general manager.

But Kelly was given full control of the roster last January and proceeded to make several questionable moves. Kelly should not make that move and college athletic directors with teams in need of an offensive identity shouldn’t assume otherwise. Murray has been a bust and Maxwell has underperformed.

Sources told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio that Lurie had been thinking for weeks about making changes in the team’s structure, including stripping Kelly of personnel control. It wouldn’t be a major surprise to see Kelly on the sidelines on a college campus in 2016, but he is still looking to prove his style of play will work at the professional level and that determination could lead to him coaching along Lake Erie next season. He alienated some of his players, though the only ones who spoke out against him did it after they were gone. “But there’s a reason he got rid of all the black players – the good ones – like that”. Kelly traded running back LeSean McCoy to the Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso, who played for Kelly at OR but was coming off ACL surgery.

For Bradford, Kelly’s dismissal means he will nearly certainly test the free agency market, something he might have done anyway despite his public stance he wanted to re-sign. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, but so do absolute power vacuums, and the departures of Reid and Joe Banner left one that a guy like Kelly was destined to fill.

Suspended Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon tweeted: “Shady, Maclin, Foles, Djax”. Kelly was moderately successful in his first two years as the team’s head coach, compiling a 10-6 record in each of them.

Kelly’s tenure started off with an emphatic bang in Landover, MD, when the Eagles went on the road to face the reigning NFC East champion Washington Redskins. By replacing Kelly now, the new coach and general manager in charge can select a quarterback who can most effectively carry out their long-term vision and groom him accordingly.

Lurie said in the letter to ticket holders he would head a search committee that includes president Don Smolenski and Howie Roseman, executive vice president of football operations. The fan base would love it. Again, Kelly was great at recruiting Texas when he was at OR, and Nebraska has always done a decent job there. Ken Wisenhut took over in 2014 and would be fired before the end of the 2015 season, leaving with a record of 3-20.
