Chip Kelly to be fired.

[tlongII]

That's what I'm hearing anyway. Where will he land next?

 

[ripcityboy]

Wouldnt be surprised if he takes a year off and goes to some place like ND or Miami. NFL just broke down his offense and made it look flimsy. But I'll be kind of pissed if he goes to some place like UCLA after we basically told him to write his own salary.

If he goes back to the Pac12, I will have lost all respect for him.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He will end up at UCLA or CAL, I just fucking know it

 

[blue32]

How crazy would that be if he goes back to the PAC12 and specifically defeats the Ducks.

Somehow I think he still stays a Niner tho

 

[Sinobas]

It's official, he's been fired. Why didn't the fucking Ducks wait to hire a coach so they could get him back.

Wow. I didn't think it would go down. Crazy. I mean he sucks, but wow, it was his first year.

He won 10 games his first 2 years with the Eagles. He was a good coach that could adapt to the NFL game. He just didn't have any kinds of weapons in SF. That team might have the worst roster in the NFL just outside of Cleveland. I mean what did they expect him to do with that turd?

Depends on what he said he could do when he interviewed for the job. I'm guessing he promised more than what he actually delivered.

 

[Sinobas]

Guys,the 49ers offensive talent was horrendous this year. Their leading WR is someone they signed off the street at the last minute...their WR is the most pathetic in NFL history, and their QBs are god awful as well. It wasn't Kelly's fault. His offense DID work in Philly.

But if he told the uppers he could take this roster and turn it around, then its on Chip.

No it's not. He had nothing to do with the personnel on the team. No coach could have won with such poor talent. And the defense was so terrible because it was decimated by injuries..most of the guys out there were 2nd and 3rd stringers.

Their offense was actually not horrific, it was the defense that was one of the worst in league history. I say he actually got more out of it than par.

 

[riverman]

It has to do mostly with Chip being an insufferable jerk to people he works for...word is he's a very, very high maintenance guy...he has a reputation of being tough to deal with. Losing didn't help but then again, maybe Chip didn't help either.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Forget about SF because I agree he got a bit of a bad wrap with what he had to work with but if Chip was so good then he wouldn't have been fired by the Eagles. Somehow 10 wins in each of his first two years is this monumental achievement? and then other teams figured him (and his scheme) out the last quarter of his 2nd season and he totally went into the tank his 3rd and last year with the Eagles. He is probably better than some coaches who still have a job but lets not pretend he is a top 10 coach who just got dumped.

Jed York blames everyone but himself. He's a horrible horrible owner.

Huh? Chip Knew what he was walking into.

If he told 49ers management he could turn their pile of shit into gold and he didn't, then its on him. Black and white. He should have never said that. He should have went in letting them know they need a long term plan.

Be the same thing as if I walked into my company and told my boss I could ship everything for $10 or less. Period. Completely unreasonable, but IF I cant... then its on me.

 

[MickZagger]

Any time an owner looks to their entitled kids to run the franchise its a recipe for disaster.

 

[MickZagger]

I wonder if York said shit for him to take the job that otherwise Chip wouldn't have taken it. Like we are going to make some changes with personnel and this same shit roster won't be intact a year from now. Honestly, I'm wondering if Chip isn't relieved to be relieved of his duties.

 

[riverman]

Chip wouldn't have taken it

He just got fired, he would definitely take the first NFL job offered.....he's just experiencing what Mike Riley did when he coached the Chargers....he couldn't turn it around.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

niners infuriated me more than the blazers this year but i primarily hate their front office. that team is going to be in the dumpster until those guys die or pull their heads out of their asses.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Here is an important life lesson for some of you.

It does you no good to claim you're the smartest guy in the room unless you own the actual room.

This also explains why Denny started his own forum.

I'm not sure Riley is the coach that Kelly is.

Chip won 10 games his first 2 seasons at Philly. Riley never sniffed that kind of success in the pros

 

[riverman]

I don't think Kelly has achieved much success in the pros either.....every team now can game plan for Kelly ..first couple seasons he got away with some of his risky plays. That's over. He's like Phil Jackson going from the Bulls to the Lakers to the Knicks.....without Kobe or MJ, he's just another guy in a suit

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Kind of funny that they gave Kelly a big guarantee, if I'm him I go coach for free for the next 4 years and make Jed pay every cent.

And what the hell did they expect with that roster? He is lucky they got 2 wins.

He didn't get figured out. He just lost all his weapons. In a good situation he could be a great coach. Lombardi couldn't have coached that garbage Niners roster to 3 wins.

 

[riverman]

He didn't get figured out.

we disagree about that

Jim Harbaugh was the same way. With the 9ers All Pro/Pro Bowl Defense, and that All Pro Offensive Line, he did pretty damn good.

Then in 2014, when most of those All Pro players were hurt, he went 8-8. Just another guy in a suit. So he ran back to college with his tail between his legs.

I tell this to fellow 9er fans over on NinerNation blog, and it's not a popular opinion. People love that asshole to the point of obsession. But not me. Choking away the Superbowl and the following NFC Championship left a REAL sour taste in my mouth for that man. I'll always be bitter about it; I don't care how many games he won while he was with SF.

Kind of funny that they gave Kelly a big guarantee, if I'm him I go coach for free for the next 4 years and make Jed pay every cent.

And what the hell did they expect with that roster? He is lucky they got 2 wins.

Not just a big guarantee, but now the 9ers are stuck paying this guy $24 Million. I think he was supposed to be around for at least 3 years.

To me, this kind of signals a few things:

1) THANK FUCKING GOD General Manager Trent Baalke was fired. That fucking asshole couldn't draft his way out of an open paper bag. He might just be one of THE worst GMs this organization has ever had. Yay.....no more drafting ACL All-Stars! The entire roster is absolute shit solely because of that man. If you ask me, his termination was 2 or 3 years too late.

2) Keeping Kelly around would not have been optimal, and it's one of the very VERY few things that Jed York has done that makes any sense: firing Kelly. And if you ask me, our DC should have been thrown out the door too. But Kelly's firing means that the incoming GM can pick his own guy, and I really like that. The two need serious chemistry for this to work. I don't have the full list of who's being considered in front of me, but Kyle Shannahan was one of those considered for HC, if I remember correctly. And I like that.

And Kelly's firing further signals that they are...

3) Getting rid of Colin Kaepernick. Mr. SJW Cop Hater has been a constant distraction this year, and I'm well beyond sick of him. If his playing was even half-way decent, he would have had a bit of lee-way. But even with the vastly-improved OLine, he was utterly terrible most of the time, and "okay" the rest of the time. It's time for a new QB, and time for Kap to go off and be an activist somewhere where he's not a distraction to football, and where we don't have to deal with him or his made-up/exaggerated issues anymore. His heart is obviously no longer in football, and I don't see any team picking him up with the baggage that he carries.

That's my take as a 9er fan. I'm still a fan for life, but unless they get 5 wins next season and keep it competitive, then I'm probably not going to waste my time watching many games. Jed York is an awful owner, Levi Stadium is an awful stadium with TONS of problems, and the talent is an absolute mess.

If NaVorro Bowman retires, I won't blame him in the least. Lord knows he'll have a massive paycheck if he does. But if he stays on, then this incoming GM needs to get him some serious help on Defense. Ray Ray Armstrong alone wasn't cutting it.

The best thing the 9ers can do is make a trade for a young QB who's shown brilliance and/or an ability to play at a high level. I really like that back-up QB with NE....Quappolo, or whatever his name is. If we can somehow lure him to the West Coast, that would be brilliant.

These next few months will be very interesting indeed. One thing's for sure: this year was NOT Kelly's fault. This 2-14 season lies at the feet of Baalke and York. Not Kelly. The dude got a shit deal coming here, and never looked for one minute like he had any kind of hope in this season.

 

[H.C.]

Kelly fucked himself over with the Eagles.
He was brought in to maximize the blue chip talent the eagles had.
Instead he traded those players away and drafted straight garbage. Simply because he believed his "system" would work anywhere with anyone.
It stopped working without the blue chip talent that he traded away for pennies.

And for those claiming 9ers had the worst defense in the nfl, historically bad... Eagles defense turned around to be decent after Kelly was rightfully fired.
At the end of the day Kelly sucks as an NFL coach and needs to go back to college.

If I was still into watching the NFL, I'd be terrified if my team sucked and rumors of Kelly being hired. Guy can't coach at the nfl level and has shown he trades the best players on the team.
