After a thorough search, Trent & I are thrilled to announce Chip Kelly as the new #HeadCoach of the @49ers

 

[huskypantz]

He's still a good coach. Horrible GM though.

 

[Excalibur]

He wasn't terrible until he tried to take control of the roster. SF could do much worse, though their roster is also pretty depleted.

 

[huskysupporter]

That is a great signing by San Fran. Great coach.

 

[huskysupporter]

Question is, will Bradford follow him.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

He will be great for a year, then fizzle. His system isn't meant for the NFL. It requires too many stars to align perfectly in order to win over the long-haul.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I am surprised he didn't go back to college. It feels like he could have had a Saban like return somewhere.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Question is, will Bradford follow him.

Probably not. He'll probably trade Bowman and Eric Reid for Kiko Alonzo.

All kidding aside, I think Kaepernic is the biggest winner with this hire.

All the "name" college jobs were filled.

The only thing that bruises coaches more than failure is to be out of coaching. They crave being wanted.

Good for ck

Absolutely HATES recruiting.

 

[huskysupporter]

I do question why he chose niners. That roster is shaky at best.

 

[noeynox]

I'm Sure He CONVINCED 49RS brass that he could resurrect Kaperniks career and win with him. I think in Kelly's offense Kapernik is salvageable. They may be a perfect fit those two.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

The 49ers finally got their coach. I hope this is the right move. His system is much better for the weather here vs. in Philly. Hopefully, it will work out here.

 

[Bonehead]

I am not sure...who are bad coaches in your eyes?

My concern with his teams is the TOP. Defense is on the field way too much.

I don't think he had much in the way of choices. Who else even interviewed him?

his offense is predicated on up-tempo, short time in between plays, etc. so TOP is probably not something to gauge him on.

Eagles D was also very poor this year.

Maybe the D is poor as they are on the field more than any other Defense in the league - 3 years in a row.
This is PRO ball - 46 active guys on a Sunday, not 80 like college. It might work, so far it hasn't.

The teams in the bottom 9 of possession have a couple things in common, one is losing records. The other is no playoffs, granted the years previous they had the worst TOP but made playoffs.

In 2014 the Eagles lost 3 of their last 4 games and made playoffs - I just don't see this as being successful. Maybe the D hit the wall - got worn down, maybe not. Time will tell his NFL Story.

I have been known to be wrong at times...

Well, in college he was 46-7 with four BCS games, two wins. He was 26-21 in the NFL with a .553 winning percentage. 1 first place finish. Compare that to, for example - Tom Coughlin. .531 winning percentage in the NFL, 37-28-3 as a college coach.

He has proved to be a very good college coach.

NFL - TBD

Are you saying cough in is a bad nfl coach?

No, I am saying that Kelly's incomplete NFL resume is comparable to Coughlin, who overall was a good NFL coach. Kelly's college coaching resume blows Coughlin away.

Eagles D really wasn't that bad. If you take a look at the 4 game splits you can really see how Chip's horrible offensive scheme in philly wore the D down. By the end of the year the d was shot due to the fact it was on the field more than any other defense in the league.

Chips offensive game planning was actually so bad it destroyed an OK defense.

 

[huskysupporter]

Eagles defensive line was above average and Fletcher Cox might have been the best dt in football last year. But once Jordan Hicks went down at linebacker, those linebackers were atrocious. Kiko Alonso was one of the worst linebackers I saw play this year. Scared of contact, not disciplined at all. And aside from Malcom Jenkins, that secondary was horrid.

Kelly's offensive game plan was fine. The execution was not so great. Passes dropped left and right (and we are talking short, easy passes), and that offensive line was by far the worst in the nfl. And it took him too long to sit Demarco Murray.
