lavar1156 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Wouldn't Chip Kelly be taking a massive pay cut if he took an NFL OC job? Doesn't seem plausible. Edited February 3 by lavar1156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Fine. Hire Kelly. He’ll be awesome. Everything is going to be fantastic. Figured I’d start my coping process where I convince myself it’s all good early. With Kelly we will AT LEAST score a touchdown or two a game. It’s going to be awesome. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 3 hours ago, Going Commando said: This makes me happy. Selling Jon Allen on what we're doing here was a test for the new regime, and it looks like they passed it. I hate the idea of trading Allen, and was hoping he wouldn't ask to be dealt. And even if he did request a trade, I would have tried to keep him anyway, like the Bears did with Jaylon Johnson. Getting Allen and McLaurin on board with the new direction is crucial. They're our best players, and the heart of the team. You don't trade guys like them. Hopefully Daron is on board too, because I'm excited to see what Quinn can do with him. The Cowboys wanted to sign him when his FA came up and never got the chance. I think Quinn has big plans for him. Would you redo his contract to make him a top 3 paid DT if he demands it versus trading him to avoid a prolonged holdout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoping I’m right and there’s sarcasm in there cause I’m not liking Chip Kelly at all, to many proven young play callers out there in the NFL.. names have been mentioned and many more we don’t even know… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lol it feels a bit like the Quinn hire if they go that directon, loved by some nationally, not so much with some fans. I'll trust whomever they hire, am not presuming I know better. Quinn hired Kyle when he wasn't cool, from what I read it wasn't popular at the time with Atlanta fans I rarely agree with PFF. Because they base everything they do on analytics. But I do agree with them here. I think rating offensive coaches with analytics works well. It is easier to analyze a system than a single player imo. Kelly is an arrogant ass by all accounts. But his system works. Pus it is very QB friendly. Which we need with a young guy coming in. And he would not be the face of our franchise. Quinn is. And Quinn is boisterous and motivating. Which would be a solid offset of Kelly imo. Not jumping up and down for the Kelly hire. But I wouldnt hate it either.

Top 12 G5 teams that don’t qualify for the college football playoff play for a G5 Natty. Or G3. Or however many G’s there are now.

At 60 years of age, Kelly is highly unlikely to be scooped up and promoted to head coach by another team. This part I'm not so sure about. Maybe not another NFL job, but I saw that he was interested in the Boston College job. If the right college job comes along, he would leave an OC job here. He's ambitious and clearly liked being a head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else posted an article that he would even consider a college OC position. The AD at UCLA lobbied for his firing and buyout but in the end they kept him on. Their D coordinator, Anthony Lynn’s kid went to USC and took a bunch of their defensive players with him through the portal. UCLA lost the top high school ranked QB from last year as well. Plus they are going to the Big 10. It is going to be a blood bath year for the Bruins. Chip might understand the year he’s about to have will damage his coaching reputation. He doesn’t have the players to compete and his recruiting skills suck. So I could see him jumping early. He’s made a ton of money over the years.

No, and I would tell him a hold out wouldn't get him traded either. But he doesn't have anywhere close to the leverage to make that kind of demand coming off last season, so the hypothetical isn't realistic.

A solution like you mentioned to give the have nots their own path to glory would be great for the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgundyBooger Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Chip might be older but if he’s hired and our offense explodes next season, he’s as good as gone the following year. He’ll possess certain rare qualities absent in the younger offensive coordinators who’d be competing with him, namely HC experience from multiple levels, the ability to assemble a staff quickly, bringing with him an offensive system not derived from existing teams or easily replicable. That’s IF he is hired and is successful. Two big ifs. But should they happen, he’ll be here for 1 year tops before jumping at another HC opportunity.

RVAskins Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I have to say that my concerns about Quinn being hired as HC has been laid to rest. At least for now. Just about everything I am reading is making this seem like the right move for us. I think he will be able to motivate the players and get them to work in unison. If he can assemble a top notch staff, we are on the right path. Our coaching has been appalling. The fact that no one on the staff was worthy of promotion speaks volumes. Our previous owner never wanted to spend money on the team. He allowed it to flounder and the results were obvious. It looks like Josh Harris and Co. are the complete opposite. He's putting money into the FO and I believe he will do everything he can to make sure we have a good staff in place. It will take time for the facilities to become among the best in the NFL but I do see that in our future. Will there be mistakes along the way, sure. But it won't be for lack of trying. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 We’re in such great shape for the future relative to the rest of our division. Please don’t screw this up by ruining our QB with an incompetent OC. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If I can except Quinn being HC, I guess I can keep from being surprised he keeps EB as OC... Any indication this won't be the case? Brining in Chip Kelly sounds too weird, where's the smoke for either of these scenarios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny the things that stick in the memory after all the years… Ok, so they did it 4 times in 10 years. It was not what they did normally. Buffalo with the K-gun did it. Gibbs wouldn’t even run shotgun. Again, that’s all absolutely fine because 3 Lombardi’s, 4 SB appearances, 5 conference game appearances. But Gibbs I didn’t run tempo much. But they did everything so well it didn’t really matter. 11 minutes ago, BurgundyBooger said: Chip might be older but if he’s hired and our offense explodes next season, he’s as good as gone the following year.

No. He’s failed spectacularly as an NFL coach twice from the people management perspective. He’s not getting a third shot. He could be a Spagnolo though: insanely good coordinator who sticks with a team for ages. That is, if he’s good. He might be terrible. I don’t know. I’m more open to it than @KDawg. But I think it’s going to be somebody from the SF staff and I think it’s already done. But Harris runs a tight ship and theee isn’t a leak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember who it was, maybe it was @Skinsinparadise mentioned that the vibe inside the building is that the chances of keeping EB are very slim....I think due to issues that us on the outside don't know about. Like I said I may be way wrong and can't remember who here posted that and apologize if I'm mentioning the wrong person 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
