Report: Signs point to Chip Kelly, Eagles parting ways after season
By Steve DelVecchio
There is a good chance Chip Kelly will be on his way out of Philadelphia after the season if the Eagles miss the playoffs, and one of the NFL’s best reporters believes that a divorce is imminent.
During an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio Tuesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said that “all signs” indicate Kelly and the Eagles will part ways this winter.
The NFC East remains wide open, as no team in the division has played particularly well and the 5-5 New York Giants currently have a one-game lead over 4-6 Philly. However, Sunday may have been a tipping point for the Eagles as they were blown out at home by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In addition to reports about Kelly losing his locker room, we also had one Eagles player call out a teammate for his lack of effort earlier this week. Things appear to be going south in a hurry, and anything short of a playoff berth will likely cost Kelly his job.
As for where Chip will end up, we know there have been rumors linking him to a high-profile college job. Should the Eagles fire him, Kelly would probably have an easier time finding an offensive coordinator job in the NFL than another head coaching gig.
