Holy Bleep! Eagles Fire Chip Kelly

I really liked the idea of his hiring.  But, the idea of his hiring turned out to be far better than the reality of his tenure.  Still, this is a shock. From the Philly Daily News:

“The Eagles fired head coach Chip Kelly on Tuesday evening.

 Owner Jeffrey Lurie made the stunning announcement in a statement released by the team, and he will address reporters on Wednesday.

“We appreciate all the contributions that Chip Kelly made and wish him every success going forward,” Lurie said.

 Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will be the interim head coach on Sunday against the New York Giants.

The Eagles also fired vice president of player personnel Ed Marynowitz. Tom Donahue will take over as senior director of player personnel.
