The chip kelly era is over. Last night the eagles fired their head coach with one game still to go. Kelly started without two winning seasons, then one playoff game, then came 2015. Kelly got full control of the roster but failed to make the postseason after a flurry of changes that drained the team of its best players. Many of those left angry and some made claims with racial overtones. Wouldnt talk to people. You would walk down the hallway he wouldnt say anything. Chip didnt say nothing. For what reason. Chip did it. Eagles owner jeffrey lure re tapped the assistant coach pat shurmur. More on what he said in a letter coming up in a few minutes. Eagles fans were immediately sounding off after the news of kellys firing. Matt delucia is live at the melrose diner this morning in south philadelphia. Matt, im sure they have a lot to say. Reporter a lot to say, lauren. Ill tell you a lot of sadness and frustration at the diner. And really some of them say it really is warranted, especially given the terrible season that we had. Going 69, chip kelly didnt get to finish his third season with the birds. And during those three seasons he took control of person nem, traded some wellknown and proven athletes and in the end really was not a lot to show for it. Weve been talking with fans throughout the morning but one guy in particular i spoke with here, not long ago, he is not an eagles fan, he is a Carolina Panthers fan so we talked with him about what its like to have a team that is the doing well. The way i see it, eagles are a good team and to be dismantled the way it was this year and have a 69 record, it should have like 115 at least. What can you say. How does it feel to have a team thats actually on top right now . Great. Really great. Are you rubbing it in to the eagle fans now . Right now, the way i look at it, im glad where were at right now, and i feel like you know, i would love to see you all in the playoffs but thats not going to happen. Unfortunately. Reporter at least not this season. A lot of these fans are hoping that next season, whatever happens, that well be doing a lot better than we are right now. Of course there is still one game left in the season. The game against the giants, meaningless but we expect to hear more from Jeffrey Lurie later on today. He is expected to hold a News Conference, hopefully well learn more about the future of the birds or at least get some solace. All of us aching for a win and the folks here saying hopefully we get a super bowl win in the shortterm, not long term. Live in south philadelphia. Were getting comments on our facebook page. We asked the eagles make the right decision on chip kel sne one, not the best move. Had one of the best special teams also a fact any team that makes a ton of personnel player changes in the off season never makes it to the playoffs. That is a fact. I would have given him one more year. Another wrote yes, its about time. Lurie should be kicking himself for giving kelly the power to run his football team. And you can count on nbc 10 and our mobile app for complete coverage of chip kellys firing. Youll find information and reaction from eagle players and more from the fans.
