Chip Kelly is gone and the Eagles 2015 season is over. The
Eagles owner seemed to have never trusted the three-year Philadelphia coach.
Kelly is being held completely accountable for the terrible season. The maddening
and frustrating season is finally over. It is finally time to move-on.
No matter what your thoughts are of Chip Kelly, do not
just talk trash on him because he is gone. I enjoyed his time with the Eagles,
but he is dead to me. People forget that Kelly’s ideas are simple, and think he
is smarter than he actually is. His whole coaching philosophy is built around
maximizing the number of plays. I enjoyed the Eagles being the fastest
operating team in the NFL, but there comes a time when the brakes need to be
pushed.
Kelly’s criteria for players were too strict. He did not
appreciate NFL talent. I am all for having bigger players that beat-up on
smaller players, but I would prefer having the smaller player if he is more
talented. Hiring personnel with character and teaching skills only works in
corporate, not in the NFL. It was great having a larger player like Jordan
Matthews as a slot receiver, but I think I prefer Riley Cooper’s personality.
The main reason why the team suffered this past season was
because of Chip Kelly. The team that he created did not have the right
personnel, and did not play together. The team was talented, but they did not
play like a team. There were wide-open receivers being overthrown and great
throws being dropped. Chip fostered a poorly coached team that impaled
themselves with penalties.
But, when it is all said and done Chip Kelly is no longer
the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles were not the team every
thought they were, and once again the experts were wrong. Chip Kelly will get
another coaching job in the NFL, and the Eagles will be successful in the
future. However, right now I think it is time to take a step back, and really
look at what is going on in the Eagles locker room. It is time for new personnel
and players, it is time for a change!
