Another source who worked outside the Eagles building had a less-than-charitable view of the future there, considering the power play.

Japanese Official Denies Reports on ‘Precondition’ of Comfort Women Deal
The UN Secretary-General has welcomed the agreement between Japan and South Korea on issues related to so-called “comfort women”. The Japanese government’s .1 million in reparations would go toward creating a foundation to support surviving comfort women.
A little more than three months later, Lurie evidently changed his opinion. Lurie will speak to the media tomorrow, but because he didn’t talk to anyone tonight, a lot of room was left for speculation on what lead to Lurie firing Kelly. The Ducks kept Kelly’s offensive system in place and Mariota went on to set several school and Pac-12 records: He threw for 10,796 passing yards and 105 touchdowns to 14 interceptions in three seasons. ESPN reported Tuesday that Kelly balked in a conversation with Lurie about giving up his control over the roster in Philadelphia.
Squeaky clean Cech eyes another title with Arsenal
Bergkamp was more of a goalscorer and Mesut was more of an assist [player] but now he becomes more of a goalscorer. With 10 goals of this 33 Olivier Giroud is the most goal scored of the season for Arsenal .
Lurie, team president Don Smolenski and Howie Roseman, who lost a power struggle previously with Kelly, will lead the coaching search.
One dead after gunman opens fire on tourist group in Dagestan, Russia
According to the region’s health ministry, a gunman opened fire on a group visiting an historic fortress in Derbent. The wounded, four of whom were in a serious condition, were getting medical treatment, the official said.
Where the Eagles once had a high-scoring, lightning-fast offense-primarily made up of players Kelly inherited from the previous regime, of course-they now have a sputtering machine.
Instead, the Eagles got worse.
The Titans will pick in the top two of the 2016 NFL Draft, and are likely to be the owners of the first pick, one year after taking Marcus Mariota with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Bradley is 12-35 in three seasons for the rebuilding team, which is 5-10. Personally, I would not take him on my team. As I watched this season unfold, I determined that it was time to make a change.
Coach Pat Shurmur will be interim head coach for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.
Vice president of player personnel Ed Marynowitz was also relieved of his role Tuesday night, and Lurie elevated Tom Donahoe to senior director of player personnel. General manager Ryan McDonough had said only that he hoped Bledsoe would return at some point this season. Upon his departure, McCoy accused Kelly of considering players’ race in making roster decisions, and there were numerous reports that there was a disconnect between the coach and his players.
Kelly parted ways last offseason with popular star running back LeSean McCoy in a straight-up trade with Buffalo for oft-injured linebacker Kiko Alonso, who played for Kelly at Oregon.
However, Kelly isn’t the only one to leave the team. And it’s the controversial moves – like drafting Matt Barkley or signing Tim Tebow – that have only shined a brighter light on Kelly’s decisions as a whole. Chip also traded Nick Foles for Sam Bradford, granted will be his lone gift to Philadelphia Sam Bradford failed to click with the offense.
Kelly also gave big money in free agency to running back DeMarco Murray and cornerback Byron Maxwell.

After one season as offensive coordinator of the Rams, he returned to New England, where he began his pro career and has helped to win four Super Bowls. Maybe this is something Lurie simply didn’t choose to include in his statement, but, to me, finding a new GM is probably something that you’d want to address if you’re an owner of an National Football League team. The Eagles were eliminated from postseason contention on Saturday in a 38-24 loss to the Washington Redskins.
