Once Kelly was ousted from his role as the HC in Philadelphia, the picture that was put together from words of his recently made former players was that of someone who took too much on himself and wouldn’t listen to anyone. That’s because we play three more games than other teams.

The team’s online store had slashed prices on Kaepernick gear, but quickly reversed that move Thursday after adding the offensive guru.
Reports have surfaced that San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke are hesitant to allow Colin Kaepernick to walk away from their team this soon. “You can trust me that we are going to do everything that we can to get this team back where it belongs”. “Chip (Kelly) possesses all the qualities we were looking for in our next head coach”, Baalke said in a team statement released Thursday.
Now, the Kelly-Kaepernick pairing has indeed occurred, but with the 49ers. Kelly also has been a proponent of using science and technology to get his players prepared for – and stay healthy in – his relentless scheme.
Kelly was sacked shortly before the season ended after three years as head coach of the Eagles.
Kelly replaces fired coach Jim Tomsula, who was 5-11 this season. If Chip Kelly fails in San Fran, it will cause minimal damage and both parties will be able to part ways without stepping on anyone’s toes (for the most part).
Takeaways: As there is plenty of interest in what the 49ers will do under center in 2016, this story includes a look at Kelly as a quarterbacks coach.
For whatever reasons, San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Geep Chryst, who may not be kept around, decided to make Colin Kaepernick into a traditional pocket quarterback. “I think it will be great”, said Judie Wenzl.
Australian fans will be waiting to see whether he has any interest in retaining and giving an opportunity to Jarryd Hayne, while USA fans will wonder whether he can revive the form of quarterback Colin Kaepernick, whose star dropped so dramatically this season that he was benched for back-up Blaine Gabbert.

“I have been preparing for this moment my entire professional life, and without the guidance and support of many people, I would not be here right now”, McAdoo said. The Eagles will be liable for the difference in the two contracts to assure that Kelly makes no less than what he was due from the deal he signed in Philadelphia over the final two remaining years of that contract. San Francisco would have been on the hook for Kaepernick’s $11.9-million base salary April 1 if he were healthy.
