  • What attracted Lurie to Kelly is what ultimately did him in

    I am of the belief that people dont really change. Circumstances do. Relationships do. But not people's core being.

    Lurie bragged when he landed Chip. Lured this innovative thinker away from a wildly successful college program. Took him away from Phil Knight. Took him away from Joe Banner and the Brownstains. Got a guy who was goin g to win and transform the game.

    You dont have to go back very far...to last Thanksgiving. They were 9-3 and everyone was talking deep playoff run. It went to shit in a big hurry after that, but it was still the same Chip Kelly.

    I think what alarmed me was how fast Chip the GM started whacking guys. It was bad enough some of the guys he was subtracting but it was as if he couldn't do it fast enough. All the while, Lurie backed him. When the results on the field went to shit, Chip did not change. Could not change. Suddenly, what got Lurie so excited about the guy repulsed him.
