The Chip Kelly experiment is over in Philadelphia as the Eagles released their third-year coach in the midst of a 6-9 (nice) year.
From philadelphiaeagles.com:
Today, Jeffrey Lurie, Chairman and CEO of the Philadelphia Eagles, released Head Coach Chip Kelly.
“We appreciate all the contributions that Chip Kelly made and wish him every success going forward,” said Lurie.
Coach Pat Shurmur will be interim head coach for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.
Ed Marynowitz, vice president of player personnel, was also released. Tom Donahoe, former GM of the Buffalo Bills and director of football operations for the Pittsburgh Steelers and senior football advisor for the Eagles since 2012, will assume the role of senior director of player personnel.
A press conference will be held Wednesday, December 30 at the NovaCare Complex at Noon with Lurie.
As of now, it's unclear if Kelly will return to greener pastures in college football or seek out a reunion with Marcus Mariota as coach of the Tennessee Titans.
