Die Philadelphia Eagles trennen sich von ihrem Headcoach Chip Kelly. Dies gab der Verein am Dienstag bekannt.
Jeffrey Lurie (Eagles Chairman und CEO) gab sagte in seinem Statement:
I have made a decision to release Chip Kelly this evening. I spent the last three seasons evaluating the many factors involved in our performance as a team. As I watched this season unfold, I determined that it was time to make a change.
As we move forward, the search for a new head coach will begin and will be led by myself, Don Smolenski and Howie Roseman. To the extent that we are able, we will try to keep you informed as we go through this process.
I am determined and excited to select a new coach to help us obtain our ultimate goal.
Kelly war die letzten 3 Jahre Headcoach der Eagles und wurde mit nur noch einem Regular Season Game zu spielen entlassen. Für ihn übernimmt vorerst Pat Shurmur und wird das Spiel gegen die New York Giants als Headcoach leiten.
Die 2015er Saison der Eagles war eine einzige Enttäuschung und so wundert es kaum jemanden, dass Kelly und die Eagles (6-9 Rekord) von nun an getrennte Wege gehen.

Well I tried to tell you before the game Saturday that the game meant much more to Chip then anything. Philly is about playoff wins. Fired

He came in, cut DJax, traded Shady & didn't sign Maclin. Now he's gone and those players are still gone. I know Philly doesn't like that.
