Off the table.

 

@RapSheet: The #Eagles announce a fairly large change. Howie Roseman elevated to executive VP/Football Ops. Chip Kelly runs player personnel.

@Eagles: Coach Kelly will oversee player personnel department and lead efforts to hire a new personnel executive, a process that begins immediately.

@JasonLaCanfora: Sounds like a decent enough compromise in Philly and Kelly clearly games additional personnel power. We'll see if it's a band aid or a fix

There goes that idea. Probably were in danger of losing him and stepped up.

His defense was more of the problem. They were moving the ball and putting up 27-30 points a game. We would have been about 14-2 with that kind of production.

 

Who's in charge of the defense? That doesn't fall under the Head Coach responsibilities? This sounds like Chan Gailey syndrome.

I was just about to say that.

He's not worth giving up draft picks for, IMO. Bills need all the draft picks they can get to keep refilling the tank as free agents leave.

Yes. I'm concerned about this too. It doesn't sound like he's placing enough emphasis on defense and he may have trouble getting good defensive coaches and personnel as a result.

Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. The point is, the offense was functioning and scoring more than enough to win with a terrible quarterback. That is Kelly's genius. You implied Sanchez was along with the coach that played himself out of the playoffs. Kelly is all offense. Yes he's in charge of the team and hires guys but his defense let him down, not his specialty and his crappy QB that he miraculously made not so crappy.

Chip Kelly: "And I want to be City Emperor."

Eagles: "We have a mayor, and we can't j-"

Chip Kelly: "CITY EMPERORRR!"

Eagles: (sigh) "Fine."

We could have given him the key to the city that TO gave back.

The Eagles averaged 29.6 points per game 3rd best in the NFL. Our D averaged 18.1 points allowed per game, 4th best. That sounds like a recipe for success to me.

I thought Roseman was the GM there

Roseman has a law degree from Fordham and rose to his position through being a salary cap guy and through football administration. It would be like if Jim Overdorf became GM as far as career path is concerned.

 

Whaley and Gamble are talent evaluators. The only difference between the two is Whaley is called the GM here and Gamble had a different title in Philly.

 

They are redundant as far as what they do.

i see - so chip is basically taking over Gamble's duties because he is pissed he was fired and doesn't want Roseman to do it because he's a cap guy.

Chip Kelly now has Belichick/Carroll level control. Very rare because it rarely works. But when it does...

Holmgren had this type of deal in Seattle. They didn't go to the SB until Mike gave that up and was HC only.

That's because Holmgren was/is a horrible GM, as he later proved in Cleveland.

Yep, he now has total control of the roster, draft, and player acquisition. I gotta wonder how this will go now that his friend in the director of player personnel is gone
