If another NFL team does not hire Chip, the Eagles are on the hook to fulfill the remaining $12.4 million of his contract.JuniorNB said:
If I were Lurie, I would giving him glowing recommendations as well, and drive him to the interviews.
If Chip can accept a "coach only" position I do believe that he gets another shot and I think Bradford goes with him (unless it does turn out to be Tennessee).

Tennessee would be foolish to hire him.
Tennessee does foolish well, they hired the worst coach in history once- Ken WhisenHURT.
Are we sure about this? I would think it depends on offset language he negotiated in his contract.
I looked and saw nothing stating that other than a story that if they mutually parted ways he would not get his money but so long as he was fired he got it all.
Not saying you are wrong, just don't see it plainly worded that way anywhere.

he's not wrong with that statement. but i don't think Lurie is a dummy either, there was more to it than simply a losing season

He gets his QB and maybe the top pick, couldn't set this up any better. Just don't let him trade it
I wouldn't be surprised if he's fired by next friday

Guess he should have thought it through a little bit better.When Chip says "you guys think about what I think more than I think about what I think" you're the type he has in mind.To me it seems like Chip thinks he's playing Madden and can just manipulate teams in trades. I think his whole endgame was Mariota, and he got.

It felt Herchel-like and I was oh so curious.
I had no misgivings that Whis would be gone, I thought he was gone in late 2014 but what type of team would they have had and have now headed into the offseason?
He got owned, I don't follow. Titans have the worst record.
I love Mariota and didn't expect to but here they sit with the worst record. You can ramble on about any young talent on their team but does the GM get one shred of good credit if he cleaned house and built what they have?
I like Bradford so I couldn't understand the 'stuck with Bradford' thinking any less. I don't think Matthews was all that great as a backup. He's the guy I think is noticeable that remained and may have been planned upon as bait. Murray wasn't included.
I think it's been proven that Kelly wanted to move a lot of dead weight on D, onto the Titans. He never reacted and either coached them up or made other moves to compensate. I'm not sure those players would have started on the Titans though. They were all set at LB and with Cox and McCourty they thought they were set at CB too. Searcy came from Buff, Griffin had been there forever. None of the traded defenders were expected to play.
It was essentially their 1st, Bradford, and Matthews for Mariota. Their first was WR, OL, DL territory and the Titans needed all that. Can you imagine Parker and DGB? or any combo of young wideout? Seems to me Matthews would have been better than any Titans back....again I wanted the trade for the Titans. I don't see how he was oWned though

Strongly under consideration for 49ers job, reportedly.

Basing that off the 1st carry for the 54 yard TD and not the next 11 for 15 yards and a fumble?

Based on a lot in this thread I must be crazy, but I would think Cleveland or San Fran would be happy to hire Chip. I don't care for the Eagles, but over the last few years it was one of the more entertaining teams to watch largely because of Chip. I hope he is hired somewhere, personally.

We all wanted Maxwell and Mccourty. Didn't count all the guy mailing it in. That's the risk of FA.

They do, but it was one wide open hole... the rest of the game he was awful. He was ineffective on 95% of his carries this week, but okay.
We "showed up" plenty. With about 160 posts in here to your 28. Nice of you to show up.
Either way, I don't think either of us are arguing that Murray had been used wrong. He plays much better clearly when Sam is under center.... we agree fully. But his game today was in no shape or form a 'screw you' to Chip. Had they ran him under center all game and he had a good game then yes it would have been.

Can chip salvage kaepernick?

Sounds more like Kelly's chasing a job than like other teams are chasing him.

Chip Kelly: 'Look at me'. Cannot imagine he gets another chance after the Eagles debacle. He's firmly a recycled loser if he does.

Plugged-in source just said to keep an eye on Chip Kelly to the Browns.

Texted 2 longtime NFL people asking if giving non-football guy roster control means Browns are hiring Chip. Both answers same: "Who knows?"

If Kelly doesn't go to TEN, I think he's out of work at the NFL level. His rep is terrible with the players. That would be a big concern to an NFL owner. No so much with a college program.
I could see Kelly at Texas A&M if Sumlin finds an NFL gig. A&M pays quite well.

Kelly in Cleveland or SF would be a cluster of the highest proportions. Two regimes known for their poor communication and dysfunction hiring a coach who was fired over poor communication and dysfunction.

I'd feel,really sorry for Cleveland if this happens. Those poor poor souls don't deserve this ### whole.
