Eagles fire Chip Kelly
The Philadelphia Eagles fired head coach Chip Kelly on Tuesday, less than one week before the end of the regular season.

About the only thing Lurie did not let Kelly do in the last three years was change the Eagles’ color from midnight green back to Kelly green, and that might have been only because Chip didn’t ask.
Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will coach the team in the season finale at the New York Giants on Sunday.
The Eagles also fired Ed Marynowitz, vice president of player personnel. Less than 48 hours after quarterback Sam Bradford said he wanted to be back with the Eagles, Kelly said he wanted his quarterback to return. Murray has been a bust and Maxwell has underperformed.
At one point, a report said that Kelly had agreed to become the Browns’ head coach, but it turned out to be erroneous.
A press conference is scheduled for Wednesday at Noon. The last five years they have had nine starting quarterbacks, consisting mainly of Jake Locker, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Zach Mettenberger, Matt Hasselbeck, and now Marcus Mariota.
Carolina’s coach unhappy • If Ron Rivera had his druthers, the Carolina Panthers still would be playing at noon (St. Louis time) on Sunday.
Tampa Bay at Carolina, 3:25 p.m. Carolina and Arizona are in the running for the top seed in the NFC playoffs. But listen to fans across the Delaware Valley and the message is clear: Yes, he lost the trust and respect of many of his players, but more than anything he lost games. Had the Panthers stayed at noon and won, the Cardinals would have nothing to play for and could rest their starters. His offensive approach worked fantastic in his first year in Philadelphia, but a lack of a running quarterback and numerous injuries since, have caused a slower style of play and helped lead to his departure. “I don’t think there’s anybody that’s excited about the situation right now”. He belonged on the preseason list of National Football League coaches facing the most intense scrutiny, even if some objected at the time to the notion that Kelly might be on a hot seat, because he had set himself up to receive all the credit or all the blame for whatever happened in Philadelphia this season. “And I’d rather make the decision than have somebody make it for me”.
Carolina received the other two first-place votes and dropped to No. 2. Then, upon advice of legal counsel, they tell media that Mixon will only answer “football related questions”.
Lurie’s adopted son, Andy Reid, had to go 12-20 over his final two seasons before the plug was tearfully pulled on him.
The Eagles, in addition to the coaching search, will also need to hire a new general manager. Third-stringer Charlie Whitehurst is out for the rest of the season because of a hamstring ailment.
We saw a guy who didn’t seem capable of handling adversity in 2015. The Eagles lost at home to New Orleans in the playoffs and missed the postseason in 2014 after starting 9-3.

Less than three years later, the Eagles find themselves once again looking for a new head coach. In nine career games, Lindley has thrown for 1,314 yards with two TDs and 11 interceptions. Bradley is 12-35 in three seasons for the rebuilding team, which is 5-10. He was gone before he could tell the players, who mostly found out the same way the rest of us did. And Gus understands that.
