Today Thursday, he just got a new check today like he was never fired.
Chip Kelly is the new 49ers head coach
- Thread starter doggish_098
- Start date
Harbaugh is the fakest victim ever period.
Harbaugh didn't like the owner and he refused to replace greg roman when it clearly wasn't working with them both at the same time. So what do you do? You keep the coach and the offensive coordinator he's loyal to and watch the shit go in the tank cause that's where it was headed.
He escaped without any blame at all for his role in everything that happened. He even gets credit for building the team when he actually walked into it lol.
And my whole thing is shit.
If we keep Kap I'm for it.
If somehow we don't keep kap I won't watch a single game they play period.

I think conventional wisdom is that most NFL HC don't do well their first job. I don't like Kelly either but you never know. The NFL of all the leagues has a history of reclamation projects that made it big.
To be fair to the 49ers we wanted Hue jackson to be our coach but he got more personnel control and the #2 pick in the draft with the browns.
That would've been 2 out of the last 4 coaches for us being black.
Mofo was out of work for 15 days. Crazy.
I might have to jump ship and root for the Jaguars next season.
They are in a great position to get one of the highly rated QB prospects. You gotta believe it's more likel Kap is gone than he stays at this point.
The one thing we do know is that Chip can coach his ass off. What we did find out is that he is terrible as a GM.
He will win games to the tune of 11 and 12 wins.
I doubt they get rid of Kap now. He is a really good fit for Chips offense
San Francisco 49ers hire Chip Kelly as head coach
Chip Kelly will be an NFL coach in 2016.
The San Francisco 49ers announced they hired Kelly as the team's 20th coach in franchise history on Thursday. He will be formally introduced as the team's new head coach during a news conference next week, the team said.

After two 10-win seasons in Philadelphia, it all came crashing down on Kelly in 2015 after he wrestled personnel control away from the front office. Several of his headline-making moves backfired, including shipping LeSean McCoy out of town and signing DeMarco Murray.
In San Francisco, Kelly will not have personnel control, with general manager Trent Baalke entrenched. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport said on NFL Network on Thursday that not having control is OK with Kelly, adding that the coach "learned his lesson with the Eagles" and is going to focus on coaching.
The Niners had also interviewed former Giants coach Tom Coughlin, former Broncos and Redskinscoach Mike Shanahan and new Browns coach Hue Jackson.
One of the reverberating stories from Philadelphia this season was that Kelly rubbed many people the wrong way and lost his locker room as the defeats mounted. In San Francisco, he'll have a second chance to correct those flaws.
The immediate question with Kelly taking over is the future of quarterbackColin Kaepernick. The 49ers appeared destined to part with the struggling signal-caller after this season, but perhaps Kelly could convince the organization he can rebuild the athletic quarterback and allow him to thrive in a fast-paced offense. In fact, Kelly reportedly considered trading for Kaepernick while with the Eagles.
The team also liked what it saw from Blaine Gabbert in his eight starts this season -- throwing for 2,031 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. During his time in Philadelphia, Kelly worked with the likes of Nick Foles, Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez. Gabbert and/or Kaepernick wouldn't exactly be a downgrade on that group.
After pushing Jim Harbaugh out the door, seeing talent flood out of the Bay Area and firing Jim Tomsula after one season, Baalke and 49ers CEO Jed York are banking on Kelly returning to the quick success he had to start his career in Philadelphia.

Might be a good hire as long as they don't let him be in charge of personnel
Kap will get another chance now
I'm happy for him
Kap will get another chance now
I'm happy for him
Yeah if they don't keep Kap I ain't fucking with it
Shoulda never fired him
But y'all the Eagles tho
And maybe my nigga Duece Stalley gets the job
why? when kap is so called perfect for his system and had been linked to going to philly to be with kelly for 2 years now?
think fam
Word is he's gonna try to lure Bradford there and he's not real high on Kap. Basically he liked the chemistry they were building which is why Bradford spoke up when he was fired.
Hopefully they keep Kaep for Chips sake...then things will get interesting.
Kelly has been looking for a true mobile QB to run his offense. You can't get more mobal than Kap.
He won't be in charge of personnel. No way will he be in charge of it at this point. He can coach he is a horrible judge of talent.
Like i said all this depdnds on his plans with Kap.
for 2 or 3 years all ive gotten is emails and posts on here saying kap is going to philly he's almost been traded to philly to be with chip kelly
now kap has chip kelly let's see what they do.
this might also mean the team didn't listen to the idiots out there saying we need to move on from a proven young quarterback to draft an unproven crap shoot after 1 season behind a horrible line and a horrible coach.
Why y'all think he wants kaep?
He will trade him
He wil pull a jon gruden
"Yea ill come and fix kaep don't worry I got this"
Then he benches him for somebody else

"Yea ill come and fix kaep don't worry I got this"

Yes now the word is he wants bradford when the word while he was in philly is that he is trying to trade for kap.
makes perfect sense
That was before he developed his relationship with Bradford and there was never any serious interest in Kap due to cap constraints. That was the media talking about how great a fit he would be in Philly at the time. All in saying is don't be surprised if Kap gets RG3'd and Bradford is sitting at the press conference with Chip. Not a prediction. Just don't be surprised.
If he does that the 49ers deserve whatever comes from that
And it won't be good
It's simple for me. all i hear from everybody for the past 2 years is kap is going to be with chip in philly.
now suddenly kap ain't gonna be with chip on the 49ers?
if that happens i won't be fucking with it period so there it is.
kap is so called the prototype to making his offense work in the nfl and if he passes on that to try some dumb shit then they deserve everything they're going to get.
1st no it wasn't it was all during this season and it didn't stop until chip was fired
2nd Baalke saw bradford 1st hand had plenty of opportunities to get bradford even before chip did.
next you don't get rid of a qb who has proven he can go the distance with some decent coaching and some decent talent around him
this move kinda says that to me. it kinda says that we're not listening to the media about kap we're going to bring in the best guy who can get the most out of a guy who is our franchise qb
i could very well be wrong but we shall see.
They should have learned from Philly. Chip will come in all meek, win a couple of games and take over. Have them dancing in the streets, get ownership by the balls and fuck shit up.

I feel you on all of this. He won't have total say over personnel, but best believe he's going to decide who's in the lineup. I think it's going to wind up working out with Kaep, but I wouldn't book it yet. Chip Kelly's mind is a strange and vast wasteland.
This right here times a hundred. Always pisses me off when I'd hear other fan bases talk about him like if he was hired you were guaranteed to be in the Super Bowl because "hey, look what he did in San Fran -- they were like 4-12 the year before he got there with the same talent"?
Then you get nothing but crickets when you ask the question "If Harbaugh had been hired in 2005 instead of Nolan, do you think they would have been in the NFC Championship game in '06?" Shit, it was Nolan and Singletary who took the lumps seasoning all that talent.
Dude I live in Philly and all the Kap shit was during the 4 game losing streak and nobody said shit since. Chip never even wanted to discuss it and denied that shit and came out and said he wouldn't trade Bradford for Kap and that Bradford is his guy. All in saying is don't be surprised.
nah that ain't happening here fam. Baalke is not the one. and the ownership is not the one. it might all blow up before we see chip kelly with absolute power on the 49ers him and the gm will be gone long before that scenario happens.
Chip did sign up for a tough division..
In related news..Tom Coughlin pulled his name from the Eagles coaching search.

you just want to be done with bradford
Sinngletary gets all the credit in the world from me. He is not a good x's and o's coach and he didn't do a good job getting coordinators to handle the x's and o's for him but he was damn sure a good coach connecting with the players and getting them to be a team.
he got rid of the diva aspect off of the team completely and harbaugh walked into a locker room that was already a brotherhood and ready to buy in.
