Chip Kelly is on his way out the door. The Niners suck but Chip is making them look worse than they really are.
LOL umm no..Chip will be here for at least 1 more season, the problem is the defense is completely devoid of talent and is being coordinated by Jim O'neil. When you lose your starting NT and both ILB's you are testing the limits of your depth and the 49ers had none..we are trotting out Nick Bellore and freaking Micheal Wilhoite as our starters for Christ sake. Our 2 first round DL players are also getting abused in the run game..Trent Baalke is expected to be gone as soon as the season ends. I am willing to give Kelly a couple years to see what he can do with Gamble and him at the helm.
Take it from someone that has first hand experience of how Chip Kelly will destroy a team. If the Niners want to become relevent any time in the next few years they will dump Kelly. If you have any decent players that are going to become free agents they will sign somewhere else. One good thing for the Niners is that Kelly does not have personnel control.
I was high on Chip Kelly when he first got to the Eagles. Once there was film on the offense he became more predictable than Andy Reid. A lot will depend on the Niners drafting. I am not sure players will flock to the niners unless they overpay. Again....something else we have a lot of experience with.
I think the Browns might actually be better. At least they're fighting and showing heart.Simple answer: yes.
As expected. They're just 1 step above the Browns.
I really don't feel like its a scheme issue...I watch the coaches film and listen to a lot of in depth breakdowns from writers and the general consensus is Kelly is scheming guys open quite regularly, I see it in game..the execution is just not there and it harps on the lack of talent up and down this roster. We need a real QB and real #1 WR the defense is a whole other level of bad lol. I get that Philly fans have a bad taste in their mouths when it comes to Chip but I'm willing to give it a bit more time and a couple drafts until I start screaming for a new coach.
I am in a generous mood this morning.I think the Browns might actually be better. At least they're fighting and showing heart.
We felt the same way and I really do understand your point. Kelly does not change well and at some point the changes he made with the offense will become evident on film it won't matter who you you have on the team. Defense will stop them. Take the Vikings for instance. I always said Sam Bradford was a good QB and he has proven me right in Minn. He is hitting 70% of his passes and he has now weapons. Chip did not know how to properly use him IMO. His offense is so predicated on the right personnel it may take a while to get it right.
I can see that at times he does seem to be very inflexible with his play calling, and it does become rather predictable, if the running game is not working Kelly's offense seems to stall badly as well. Unfortunately we are stuck with Kelly for at least 2 more seasons we are still paying Tomfoola and there is no way Jed York is going to be paying two head coaches that aren't even on the team lol.

Kelly is part of the reason the running game is stalling. He's not using Hyde properly, just like he didn't use Murray properly last year. Murray moves on to the Titans and is immediately successful again.
