Chip Kelly hired by 49ers

Jed is a tool. I want the guy gone so badly. I don't even really want to support the team while he's around. I can't imagine Chip will get along with him much better than Harbaugh did.

 

This could be a good signing. The 49ers really need a drastic change in their offense. I'm sick of these pathetic "power offenses" that can barely move the football. The one thing you can say about Baalke, is he's good at drafting defense, so they might be a good pair.

 

Damn UCD that's gotta be tough. I'll never forget the story about you and Glickman, now you've got a Duck coaching your team!

 

But I actually like Glickman. At least he gave us the Blazers.......

 

But it tastes fucking great being a ducks niners bandwagoner!

 

Nah, the Niners haven't been relevant since the early 90s, much like Mariner fans, anyone that still likes them are true fans.

 

Yeah I was in second grade when we won our last sb. Mom and I had our niners sweaters on. Thats about all I remember.

 

I hope Kelly brings a lot of Ducks to the 49ers like he brought to the Eagles. It's fun to see your college favorites join your pro team. I believe the 49ers will take a serious look at DeForrest Buckner in the draft.

 

I hate Chip, I hate the Ducks and I really hate the 9ers. However, I think this was a solid hire for the 9ers. Though Chip's GM skills left a little to be desired (still think he should have been given more time to execute his vision), I think he's a good coach, if not great. If I was a 9er fan my main concern would be York/Baalk's ability to get along with Chip. I mean, they fired a GREAT coach in Harbaugh because ultimately they didn't get along or see eye to eye. And Harbaugh has a strong personality. Chip is very similar I think. Rough around the edges. Would be wise of the 9ers brass to not make the same mistake with Chip. NFCW got more interesting that's for sure. Rams in LA and Chip in SF.

Go Hawks.

 

Honestly, I think it's a little unfair to judge Chip's GM skills because I can't think of a single GM that was given less than one year to shape a roster. This had nothing to do with Chip the GM and everything to do with Chip the personality. His feuds with three notable stars, and most recently Demarco Murray, are what did him in. Paired with their record this season, he was going to get the ax, but it really seemed premature to me. He completely turned that team around almost immediately. The NFL really is a "what have you done for me lately" business.

 

I did mention that I felt he needed more time to execute his vision. You can't remake an NFL roster that fast. But from a system perspective, McCoy was a much better option than either Murray or Matthews. Sproles honestly should have gotten more PT for that system but Murray was the one getting paid and thus got the work. And he WAY over paid for Maxwell. That was a disaster and hugely regrettable.

 

The McCoy move seemed entirely about ego and trying to exert control over the team. That's a classic college coach mistake, imo. I think it's difficult for coaches to let go of that control that they had in college.

 

Well, he seemed hell bent on trying to acquire Mariota, and when that failed he decided that Bradford was the next best thing. I don't know why you'd hang your hat on a guy who has been out with injuries for the past couple years.

 

Murray though..... the guy was the rushing champ from the previous season. I can't say that I watched him much on the Cowboys, but isn't he talented or was it just the OLine?

 

Yeah McCoy has always been a better talent than Murray.

I thought Ryan Mathews was better In that offense than demarco Murray. You don't need to spend a lot for a rb In this league anymore. Unless it's an ap
