Damn. The Eagles fans deserved better. Good riddance.

His attitude was way over the top for my taste.

Great college coaches rarely make good NFL coaches. He'll be back in the college game soon, IMO.

My thoughts exactly. While there was/is a need for some of his style of play in the NFL, he treated the Eagles players like his college recruits and not the experienced NFL players they are. He also apparently had personality issues with his players, because only a hardheaded coach would trade away or release stars like DeSean Jackson and LeShaun McCoy, who actually thrived under his offense, and trade away Nick Foles, who played his system well, for someone like Sam Bradford who was injury prone and not mobile in that offense. Plus, opposing NFL players are a heck of a lot faster and stronger than much of his college competition, and it didn't take them long to catch up to his style of play. That's why the Eagles got progressively worse under his coaching tenure.

right - he did lack "people skills" & got rid of too much talent without bringing in more talent.

the team REGRESSED in the 3 years under his watch.

the next coach needs to be 1 with PRO COACHING EXPERIENCE.

it was so frustrating watching that team this year.

trying to run 3 plays in 30 seconds - while just going 3-and-out.

the suffering NEVER ends for (us) Eagles fans.

that's ok - I'll be near the front of the line in August

thirsty & ready to drink more kool-aid..

After I posted that, I heard on the radio that Kelly wants another NFL job. LOL, why?

There's all these rumors about Nick Saban going to the NFL. I hope he's smarter than that. If he stays at Alabama, they will build a statue of him. That will NEVER happen in the NFL. And the money is the same.
