Chip Kelly fired
- Thread starter RutgersROB
- Start date
He thought Sam Bustford was an NFL worthy qb LOL.
Every NFL team will look at that and pass.
Otherwise he won't have any college options next year. He will end up on ESPN for the year.
Wow, just pathetic.
That was with a ton of talent already in the program and a bank roll larger then any other university out there.
Mike Belloti had had some success at Oregon, but Chip Kelly was the one who brought the program to a different level.
Maryland did the same thing with their OC hire. Make sure you post on their forum with one of your 5 usernames to let them know they are doing it wrong.

Just a brilliant poster
Love that guy
He brings so much to the table.
Please post more!
He represents the pinnacle of stupidity that has infested this board. No idea where they came from.
If it wasn't for you, the "Ignore" button would've taken care of me never having to read that idiotic post of his.
...and they did it partly due to the fact that Oregon will allow, pretty much, anyone with a pulse into the program. They have filled their roster with SoCal kids who couldn't get into SC/UCLA, etc, and JUCO kids, for the past 2 decades now. Granted, you still have to DO something with those kids - and they did - but they had a lot of help when it came to getting there. No question.

He has expressed interest in staying in the NFL.
Unless he has learned significantly from his stay in Philly, he's doomed. He failed as a GM, a motivator, and player developer. The only thing he was good at was installing his offense. Anyone with his playbook could do that.

Well he just moved into a house four blocks away from me. I'll have to make sure my real estate friend who specializes in houses in town knows about this. Maybe I can get part of the commission for a referral.
I am a little surprised about this. After a new coach gets hired the next person I would toss would be Howie Roseman. That guy is a snake and a self important jackass. What other GM in the NFL had his own radio show?

Unbelievable right! This fan base just doesn't have a clue! I love that we were lucky enough to get a guy like Ash as our new Head Coach, after the disasters of the past. He is putting a program together that we can ALL be proud of, and enjoy. Kelly was great in Oregon. It didn't translate to success in the NFL, and though we would have been very excited to have him coach Rutgers a month ago, Ash is our coach! And, that is where our current loyalties should be, until proven otherwise!
Sam Bradford was not the principal problem. He has improved as he has gotten rid of the rush. And Bradford relally has not had a competent receiver to throw the ball to (thanks to Kelly's poor personnel moves). The real problems, though, are (1) Kelly's personnel moves, not only at receiver, but also on the offensive line and at running back; (2) Kelly's hurry-up defense does not work in the NFL: (3) the defense was putrid, and Kelly is not a defensive mind, but instead hired someone whose coaching didn't work.
He stated he wants to stay in the NFL , but don't want to be in charge of personnel decisions.
The steady decline might be because of the personnel he had a hand in getting rid of and the ones he brought in. But he might not be suited for the pro game and that's why he wasn't as successful as he was expected to be in Philly.
There are reports in the Philadelphia media that the owner asked Kelly to give up his control of the roster. Kelly refused, and so was "released." I know of no evidence that Kelly did not want to be in charge of personnel; last year, he insisted on assuming that role in a front-office coup.
I said he didn't want any part of personnel decisions ( next pro stop) and wanted to stay in NFL because I read this article or one like it:
Chip says he’ll stay in the NFL, doesn’t want personnel control | ProFootballTalk
>" Kelly also told Glazer he only wants to coach in his next stop and does not want to be the personnel man. That’s surprising, as Kelly insisted on personnel control in Philadelphia and reportedly balked when Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie suggested that he should give up that control."<

My guess is if he wants another NFL HC job, he can't demand personnel control. He was pretty successful BEFORE he made all those disastrous personnel decisions.
Hurry up offense in the NFL has been successful over and over again. The NFL is a coaches league. Hurry-up takes away a lot of situational substitutions defensive coaches would be making and makes defensive calls difficult. Add to that the tiring of defense, particularly the line, is grossly underestimated.

USC fans are probably thinking that Pat Haden jumped the gun and missed the boat on Chip. Their new coach is 0-2 since getting the 5 year gig with losses to Stanford and Wisconsin. They open against Bama next year.
Personally I don't think Kelly would have been a good fit for the traditionalists at USC and not sure Kelly would even consider going there in the first place, but that won't stop some of their crazies from piling on Haden.
