More details emerge as to why Chip Kelly was fired by the Eagles
There are a number of reasons why the Philadelphia Eagles fired Chip Kelly on Tuesday evening. One of them reportedly had to do with his refusal to relinquish personnel power. Another one involved him losing the support of his players. But it's not just the players who stopped supporting Kelly, according to multiple reports. The former Eagles coach lost support in entire organization
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports has even more details on Kelly's downfall:
So what else went wrong? Well,
Kelly was losing people throughout the building, sources said, even
outside of football operations. His autocratic tendencies got the best
of him. His allies were few and far between. The idea that DeMarco Murray
somehow led this charge is preposterous, I'm told, but in fact Lurie
had begun having serious reservations a few weeks ago, when he began
reaching out to confidants about how to proceed and began doing research
on the pool of potential candidates elsewhere. He started to doubt
whether Kelly The Innovative Coach was quite smart enough to overcome
Kelly The Personnel Demagogue. Everything having to be Kelly's way --
moving events around to fit his schedule, things having to accommodate
him -- grew troublesome.
