#BlackMonday Came Early: Eagles Fire Chip Kelly
Everyone assumed it was going to happen, but apparently the Iggs couldn’t wait until after Sunday’s game. Chip Kelly started with two straight 10-6 seasons, winning one division title and then missing out on the playoffs thanks to the 12-4 Cowboys and two 11-5 wild card teams. But it looks like going 6-9 and missing out on a dogshit division that at one point had a three-way tie of 5-7 will get you fired in Philly. That, and sending away Nick Foles and LeSean McCoy before signing Sam Bradford, a heavily-used DeMarco Murray, and Tim Tebow. Woof.
Now let’s never talk about hiring a college coach for the NFL again.

Records with and without Chip Kelly:

Eagles are 26th in ANY/A. They are a bad passing team, which is why 6-9. But that's a Bradford issue and a WR issue. Chip the GM, not HC.
