It's in My Blood Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) You can't fault the Eagles for signing him. But handing over complete personnel control was just plain stupid. Edited May 6, 2015 by It's in My Blood
BarleyNY Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 This side show is going to be entertaining to watch... I totally agree. I highly doubt this. Jeff Laurie has put his complete faith in Chip to the point where Chip got to play GM. I don't see Chop walking away from that kind of power.Dunno. I can see him bailing if things start to go South. He's the kind of guy that leaves behind wreckage, but gets out before it affects him personally. It'll be interesting to see how long it is before that catches up with him.
Malazan Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I am looking forward to when Kelly goes back to college so we don't have to hear all the crazy rumors about him.
FLFan Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Hilarious. The Eagles are about to be the NFL's biggest train wreck, with Chipper in the conductor seat.
FLbills Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I bet Mariota sat in Chip's lap during team meetings...
DC Tom Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 That would be the perfect topper to the Eagles' bizarre off-season: Chip Kelly trades himself to the Titans.
Buftex Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Even before the McCoy trade, I have never liked Chip Kelly. That said, while I like Florio for entertainment purposes, he likes to throw stuff against the wall, to see what sticks. I could definitely see McCoy leaving the Eagles after this coming season...unless they win, and win bigger than they did last year, he is going to be in a messy situation in Philadelphia. I could see him high-tailing it back to college, easily.
Fadingpain Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) So to review: According to the Brain Trust at OBD: Chip Kelly = bad. Russell Wilson = bad. Johnny Football = bad. EJ Manuel (or Manual based on the prevalent spelling here) = GOOD. Got it. Edited May 7, 2015 by Stopthepain
MRW Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 So to review: According to the Brain Trust at OBD: Chip Kelly = bad. Russell Wilson = bad. Johnny Football = bad. EJ Manuel (or Manual based on the prevalent spelling here) = GOOD. Got it. You can't just say "to review" and then make up a bunch of positions and attribute them to the team's management.
KD in CA Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Hilarious. The Eagles are about to be the NFL's biggest train wreck, with Chipper in the conductor seat. I haven't wanted to see a team crash and burn this much since......the 'Dream Team' Eagles from five years ago. So to review: According to the Brain Trust at OBD: Chip Kelly = bad. Russell Wilson = bad. Johnny Football = bad. EJ Manuel (or Manual based on the prevalent spelling here) = GOOD. Got it. There are still people sucking the 'Johnny Football' knob??
YoloinOhio Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I haven't wanted to see a team crash and burn this much since......the 'Dream Team' Eagles from five years ago. There are still people sucking the 'Johnny Football' knob?? he moved to the suburbs! He's studying the playbook! Superbowls!
Ted William's frozen head Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 He's a psycho Jacksonville can always use another line coach..... Maybe they will do a coach for coach trade... CBF Give the Eagles a seventh round pick in next year's draft for Kiko.....
TheFunPolice Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 That would be the perfect topper to the Eagles' bizarre off-season: Chip Kelly trades himself to the Titans. Since he has full control isn't that possible?
Big C Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Even before the McCoy trade, I have never liked Chip Kelly.

I could definitely see McCoy leaving the Eagles after this coming season...unless they win, and win bigger than they did last year, he is going to be in a messy situation in Philadelphia. I could see him high-tailing it back to college, easily. I sure hope he's already left them by now.
fansince88 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 This smells like complete and utter BS to me. It is.
Acantha Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) This smells like complete and utter BS to me.The "article" mentioned the possibility of upcoming rumors that may cause the Eagles issues in the future. There is nothing that in any way says there are actual rumors of this happening. But everyone sucks anyway. EDIT: After re-reading I take that back. The article does insinuate that, but they base it on the following quote from Florio: "Second, the next distraction for Kelly and the Eagles (and the Titans) will be the inevitable speculation — which already has begun in some league circles — that Kelly is destined to eventually become the coach of the Titans." So in other words, BS rumor mongering. Edited May 7, 2015 by Acantha
RyanC883 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 this will not happen, but I really enjoy the rumors. I enjoyed the prior post about him trading himself. Had me LOL. That would be a fantastic ending to Chip's time in Philly.
