No surprise whatsoever. He should never have been gm, and I can understand why the owner wanted to change that. Chip didn't want to give up personnel control, so that was that.

The question swirling around Philly this morning;
Who will win a Super Bowl 1st, the Eagles or Chip Kelly?

Things I didn't understand about Chip Kelly and this goes back a few years

1. With regard to the Riley Cooper incident. What kind of coach would go to a Country and Western concert with a player?

2. When the Riley Cooper incident happened why was there anything other than immediately cutting him.

3. How can you trade Desean Jackson?

4. How can you let Jermey Maclin get away?

5. How can you trade Lesean McCoy the heart of your team?

6. How can you decide to bring in Demarco Murray at a huge price and then notice that he isn't a fit for your scheme

?

7. How can you bring in Sam Bradford who is an injury waiting to happen? Nick Foles 2 years back had an incredible season not so much last year but as a coach you need to analyze what worked.

I have a lot of Friends that are Eagle Fans and I am really sad that Hurricane Chip leveled the Eagles in his swath... Sad.

Chip wasnt with him at the concert, was he? If he was, this is the first that I'm hearing about it.

2. When the Riley Cooper incident happened why was there anything other than immediately cutting him.

You tell me and we'll BOTH know.

3. How can you trade Desean Jackson?

He didnt even trade him. He released him. HORRIBLE move to not get at least something back for him.

4. How can you let Jermey Maclin get away?

Offered him 9 a year when they knew damn well that 11-12 was the number to get him back in an Eagles uniform. Another horrible move.

5. How can you trade Lesean McCoy the heart of your team?

I wouldn't care about this trade as much if Kiko Alonso wasnt a stiff from Oregon that couldnt shed a block from my 5 yr old nephew.

6. How can you decide to bring in Demarco Murray at a huge price and then notice that he isn't a fit for your scheme

Once Frank Gore stiffed them, they scuttled around quickly and landed on this mope.

7. How can you bring in Sam Bradford who is an injury waiting to happen? Nick Foles 2 years back had an incredible season not so much last year but as a coach you need to analyze what worked.

Im in the minority, but Bradford wasnt even in the top 10 of this team's problems. i would be thrilled to have him back next year at the right price and if the new coach puts any stock whatsoever in the offensive line position.

The Birds will bounce back. Siyanora, Chipper! AKA The Worst GM in NFL History. You've been relieved, Matt Millen.

" During one of Chesney’s songs, the country star pulled Cooper, teammate Jason Kelce and coach Chip Kelly on stage to perform “Boys of Fall.” It was the lone highlight of a shocking evening."
