The San Francisco 49ers officially have a new coach, and it's Chip Kelly.

San Francisco reached a deal with the former Philadelphia Eagles coach on Thursday, and immediately Twitter reacted to the thought of Kelly pairing his offense with divisive quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

This is just a fraction of the responses:

No idea how things will work out for @49ers, but hard not to be intrigued/fascinated with possibilities of Chip Kelly with Colin Kaepernick.

.@MikeMayock on Chip Kelly's hire for #49ers QB Colin Kaepernick: "One of the best things that's happened for him." Totally agree. New life.

Chip Kelly told #49ers in his interviews (plural) that he likes both Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert. Team, Kelly keeping options open.
