I said when they hired him it wouldn't work our his college bullshit hurry up offense wouldn't work. the blue print was out teams seen what he was doing just a matter of time he has no clue how to run an nfl team yea he won 10 games his first two seasons they were Andy Reid's players. this clown thought he invented the game of football getting rid of good playersbringing in bums Murray so washed up from last year and pussy boy Bradford Kelly will get hired by Cleveland browns next season I say Sean Payton comes to Philly bring drew breed death a young quarterback let brees groom him thank god the Mr know it all bum is gone.
Chip Kelly turned me into a Demarco Murray fan. That last game was painful watching him sit out with chip just running little sproles into the ground. He kept trying to get Murray to catch short passes and screens while he was in there instead of just letting him drive the ball up the middle and look for holes like he wants to. Mark my words, a team will pick him up and he will look a lot different. I get that Dallas has a good o line but when he beats the next highest RB by 400 yards last season and you spend millions on him, probably best to leave him in and let him find his way. Any time I was on the other side of Murray last year I was kicking myself. Chip Kelly didn't have a clue.
I didn't have an issue with the players he let go, McCoy was way over paid and a headcase in the locker room, Maclin is oft-injured and a decent number two, but got elite level WR money, Foles was a disaster and Jackson was on the heels of the Hernandez incident and had his CA gang buddies all over Philadelphia and parts of Jersey.
Kelly's problem was he is a terrible judge of talent at this level. The players he drafted or brought in were mostly horrendous and he seemed to target guys he had familiarity with while recruiting in college and overpaid and/or selected them well higher than their projected value. In addition, he completely disregarded the offensive line, which ultimately destroyed the offense. You can get away with inferior offensive line talent in college, for the most part, if you're loaded at the skill positions, but that doesn't work in the NFL where even the worst of the teams have elite NFL level talent in the front seven, unlike the majority of collegiate opposition.
I think his offensive system could work in the NFL, but would need to be implemented by someone other than Kelly or have him enter a situation where there is already an elite QB and stout offensive line. Unfortunately for him, if those two things are already in place the team is probably having some success and not likely in the market for a head coach.
