There is so much wrong with this I don't even know where to begin. I'm going to need some time to digest it but it's basically all over twitter now. All I can say is that I'm upset and I didn't think he'd work out in this league and I was proven wrong. He did a damn good job. ****.

I am shocked they didn't wait until offseason
Kelly dug his own grave with awful roster management

It worked for awhile...a year. Teams figures it our and the team got worse.
The only problems I have with it is why now? Why not next Monday?

Chip completely blew up that roster but he deserves another year. ****. Pissed.
Rampant rumors that he's going back to college now.
Also agree why they're firing him now when they could fire him next week. Whatever.
Basically everything he did personnel wise backfired
- Cut DeSean Jackson for some reason, nobody knows why. Goes to Redskins and wins NFC East.
- Let Maclin go for some reason (drafting Aghulor helped but can't replace Maclin)
- Traded McCoy for some reason
- Signed Murray who totally doesn't fit that system or scheme
- Traded Foles and put in Bradford who was mediocre
I mean he just totally took a hatchet to that roster which was PRETTY DAMN GOOD
But that doesn't mean he should be fired, they came pretty close to winning the division. Call it a bad division if you must but I enjoyed Chip as coach. Whatever he's going back to college probably
RT @MattRHinton Also Kelly went 26–21 with a division title & two 10-win seasons in three years, do we have to hear about what a failure he was in the NFL?

Already rumors of Chip to Tennessee to reunite with Mariota. MAke it hapen.
RT @BryanDFischer Chip could get nice severance package, No. 1 overall pick and, of course, Mariota if he goes to Tennessee.

The lasting image with Skip is his last press conference after the game where the lights conveniently went out.
He's overrated. He knows his football I won't deny him that but let's not act like he is worth the hype and somebody who came in and outsmarted the NFL and was amazing by any stretch.
Where he lands I have no idea. Maybe college. No NFL team can be dumb enough to give him what he wants after this, can they?!
In the end the Eagles for worse in his tenure and he set them far back. They've got a lot of work to do.

Teams figured him out. He never adjusted. His coaching this year was bad too. I even questioned his coaching ability last year in the middle of the season. So many penalties and the playcalling was atrocious.

I don't see why Titans would want anything to do with him
He already has proven he wants more power/control then simply coach and his offense will eventually wreck his defense
