Why Did Chip Kelly Fail in the NFL?

[@jsnike91]

As an eagles fan, I will always say this. I don’t believe the NFL “caught up” to chips offense, chip just destroyed the perfect offense for his system. His offense was built off speed and uptempo, and Djax, maclin and mccoy were PERFECT for his system. And what does he do? Release, trade and let them all walk. He tried turning a north and south runner like Murray into an east to west RB. Well, you had the best east to west RB and traded him for a LB coming off an ACL tear. I don’t think he’d win a Super Bowl or anything, but I believe chips ego didn’t want to win with Andy reids players, he wanted to prove his system works with any an every player, and that was his biggest failure.

[@rocketsfan05]

Yeah that Eagles offense was stacked.

[@coreywilliam8474]

That and he was dumb and racist

[@choosecarefully408]

Not sure you're aware of it but you hit upon something there. Pretty much _ALL_ NFL coaches are more keen to impose Their Way regardless of the talent they have. Reid is So Lucky to have had players willing to adjust to it like Alex Smith. But he also lost tons of games by refusing to adjust to the talents he had. I remember watching an Eagles game where they Did Seem to be flying. McNabb had an amazing rhythm going with short to mid-range passes & runs & the other team (WAS?) was getting trampled. Then the camera panned over to Reid & he looked like he was gonna puke. Before analysis channels & better coverage existed we didn't know, but we do now. He looked sick & put a stop to the hyper-efficient offense that I'm guessing he allowed his OC to call & while they didn't lose the game, the offense stalled & it was clear he Didn't Care so long as they played His Way. Most people are very simple: either he's great or sucks, mo in-between. Well, a guy with a winning record doesn't suck, so people overlook everything wrong he does.

[@fgslasher678]

This is the only correct chip kelly take

[@nwj03a]

He was a bad coach, it’s not hard to say. He was gifted in to a poop conference with a ton of flowers to throw at high school players, then recruited players “legally”. He bought success, until he couldn’t. A certain god of mythology had nothing to do with an ass coach becoming great, then being ass when that god disappeared. Nike *cough*

[@EGuala21]

My roommate was on the team when he was coaching Oregon. They RAN ALOT. ALOT ALOT. More than me Damn near and I was on the track team. Professional sports are totally different than college. Athletes don’t need to be coached like students or kids. They come in already trained already in shape strong and ready to gameplan. Kelly didn’t understand that.

[@eaglefan020S]

Yea I remember reading something back then about how some players were complaining about how Chip Kelly ran them too much. I understand the point of conditioning but when you have pros complaining about how much the coach is doing it then you know something is wrong.

Chip is another coach who should have stayed in college

[@legendaryTMNICO]

His offense isn’t a good fit for the NFL.

[@ChiefGore429]

Usually when a HC from college can't make it in the NFL it's because they were great recruiters and not a great X&O's guy. It's easy to be a great head coach when you have all the best people on your team. That isn't the case in the NFL, everyone is Alabama

[@crystalfelts2404]

I'll never forgive Chip for what he did to BDN 😭

[@PiyachonYuenyongHYDE]

College Coach who became NFL coach seems to have the same problem. they treat players in NFL like they are 18-21 years old kid and they think they don't have to answer to anyone. Nah man. in NFL you have owner or an executive who own the team not an AD who just hire you. NFL players are grown man and some of them have more success than you in Pro level.

[@l.rongardner2150]

Thank you, Urban Meyer.

[@mrcarterfx885]

[@Kings0424]

Exactly bro. Coaches like that fails to realize that this are grown professional players that they are talking to, not college kids

[@MarcPagan]

From a Giants fan, thanks for a such a well researched report ...very fair.

[@JanoyCresva]

Chip kelly just never knew what a good DC was. This video acts like the time of possession was like 10 mins less than everyone else. It was more like a few mins from middle of the pack. In College he made it work with plug and play guys. Didnt matter if they were 2 stars or 5 stars in college, he'd put them in and the offense would work. In the NFL you have to be more scientific with the roster. In the NFL there were grown men that might challenge the coach and he's gotta have thick skin. Im sure in college NONE of the players challenge the coach. Afterall most people call them "kids" . Just a whole different dynamic. That roster blowup is what hurt him. I mean i bet after he made the playoffs in year 1, he thought he could go even further with hand picked guys that maybe werent going to talk back and challenge him like Djax and Shady. Instead he got Murray and Bradford who seem like super quiet dudes.

[@Warmaker01]

Been a 49er fan since the early 80s. Kelly's tenure there as HC was awful. I'm also not fond of Trent Ballke as the GM, either. Interesting video and brings back some nostalgia from that era of the NFL seeing those players, hearing those names again.

[@JakeWilson-w7m]

As a Eagles fan despite being mad at Chip Kelly in the past. He was a good college coach but not a great NFL coach!!!

[@16ktsgamma]

Roseman:Here you are in charge of making the roster. Kelly:What?

[@juiceboxgaming238]

Foles also broke the record of touchdowns too interceptions ratio

[@_joeMelfi]

He could have succeeded if he was willing to self scout himself and integrate his concepts rather than try to convince everyone (and himself) that he invented football. I believe handing Shady away was the single greatest gaff in his demise. BDN was out there looking like an NBA PG, shady was shredding EVERYONE breaking ankles and two pro bowl WR’s had that offense humming. Better roster choices and a willingness to change speeds, not act like possessions and TOP were nonsense. Could have been different but it wasn’t in his DNA to adapt.

[@wvu05]

I remember hearing Kelly repeatedly saying that time of possession didn't matter. It seemed like poetic justice when the Saints beat him by controlling the clock in his one NFL playoff game.

[@jahsunhova6089]

Chip Kelly is one of the worst NFL quarterbacks in history. This guy literally destroyed what could have been a dynasty team to win a super bowl in Philadelphia. What a clown 🤡

to be fair when he took over the eagles he had the pieces to keep being good, changed up too much though. this is crazy for me cuz oregon was my favorite team, play style, good team, and looked good while doing it, some of the best ncaa jerseys, i was hopefully to see him do well but we know how that went

[@iwonder2197]

Philly hates chip. I mean we really hate him. Worse eagles hire of all time.

[@chrisolson84]

I don't understand the rumors about Dan Quinn wanting Chip Kelly as OC. Why would a defensive coach want to burden his own defense with an up-tempo offense like that?

[@TonyTheLoneRiderSmith]

Because of the talent level of his last 2 seasons. First two years 10 wind each season, two top 5 scoring offense with foles, McCoy, Jackson, Maclin, ertz & more. Next 2 years kaep,, Gabbert, Bradford, Torrey Smith was his best wr, Demarco Murray. Coaches need talent to succeed no matter how good ur scheme, system or play calling is

as a ucla fan I really thought Chip was gonna revive the program and at least take ucla to a consistent 10 win a season program but it never panned out. His approach to recruiting and all that is unimpressive. Idk y ucla chose to extend him. So far he’s been terrible. However, I do cut him some slack as he was forced to play DTR as a true freshman.

[@connordelaney5863]

Thought he was the smartest man in the room, got figured out after one year , and got WAY TOO MUCH power by being the gm and getting rid of the star players.

[@jakewilson910]

Chip Kelly had a good first year in Philly but the rest of his NFL coaching career came to a end!!!

[@NickWuebker]

I really wonder how things would’ve turned out for Chip in Philly had he not been made GM. Naming your head coach as GM never works and I don’t think it ever has.

[@南台湾住民]

There is a huge difference between NFL and college football. in NFL, HC is one of the manager in the organization unless he is HC/GM. On the contrary, HC is the authority in college. Especially when the transfer was not easy, college players have to listen to HC, sometimes have to pretend obedient to HC. So, HC could act as king in college but not in NFL. Chip Kelly might not understand the difference between coaching college and NFL.
