OT: 49ers Replace Tomsula with Chip Kelly
This is hilarious.
As an Eagles fan, even moreso. They fired Harbaugh for being too controlling and hire a guy who my team fired for being too controlling.
49ers announced their new HC is Chip Kelly.

Too good. Especially with your avatar.

VinegarStrokes said all that needs to be said.

I hate to comment-jack, but that Niners tweet is from 2014. People on Twitter are just trying to start shit. Pretty dumb thing to do.
January 14th, 2016 at 2:15 PM ^
There was another Tweet in the OP.
January 14th, 2016 at 3:14 PM ^
IBD or not? Just a little slow on the edits.
January 14th, 2016 at 4:17 PM ^
Thank you.

Glad he's still out of college.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:42 PM ^

They get a more humble chip kelly because of what happened in philly. Kaep prolly the happiest guy on earth. He probably wont get cut now and gets to keep collecting them checks
January 14th, 2016 at 1:43 PM ^
Hahahaha....oh wait, you're serious?
Chip Kelly was offered the opportunity to stay with the Eagles if he gave up personnel control. He refused. The dude has not been humbled.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:50 PM ^
its already been reported that he doesnt want personal control with the 9ers
January 14th, 2016 at 2:03 PM ^
Fair enough. Though I still highly doubt he has been humbled.
January 14th, 2016 at 2:56 PM ^
Talk yourself into the narrative that Chip is a bad coach all you want, but you're wrong.
He won 10 games in both his first two years there. Lions fans would kill for 2 years in a row of 10 wins.
Also, as far up your own ass you are as a Philly fan, you have to be able to admit Chip is far and away better than Tomsula.
Philly fan will have nothing to do but complain when Chip proves to be a great NFL coach.
I'm happy about that.
January 14th, 2016 at 3:38 PM ^
When did I say he's a bad coach? I thought he did an excellent job his first two years and I was excited about this year. The problem wasn't his coaching ability, but rather his GM abilities. He demanded personnel power, got rid of our best players, gave out huge contracts, and then fell flat on his face. I would have been on board with keeping him if he stepped down from the GM role, but he refused.

Successful coaches have GM power. Belichick, Big Tuna, Walsh, etc.
It takes more than a year or two to get your guys.
He had some bad luck, but he didnt fall flat on his face.
Now you are interviewing Coughlin?
Lol, good luck without a QB.
You fired Chip because your owner is a dumb ass who didnt like it that Chip made him move his stupid holiday party.
Again, people are in charge of things for no reason. Especially owners.
January 14th, 2016 at 4:20 PM ^
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Just b/c you're a Chip Kelly stan doesn't mean you're right.
January 15th, 2016 at 8:58 AM ^
No QB?
Kap is perfect for Kelly's system...
Or at least an upgrade over Foles & Bradford
January 14th, 2016 at 4:17 PM ^
of the 49ers, they could save on Baalke's salary.
January 14th, 2016 at 6:42 PM ^
for "personal control," but the issue of personnel control is still under discussion.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:42 PM ^
To the mountain that Harbaugh built was quickly blasted with yet another stick of dynamite. San Fransico may be the lowest place on earth now.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:55 PM ^
sea level.
January 14th, 2016 at 2:24 PM ^
I believe the Saints actually play below sea level.
January 14th, 2016 at 2:39 PM ^
Why do all the programmers in New Orleans code in machine language?
Because it's below C Level
January 14th, 2016 at 2:49 PM ^
Man, I really wish I got that joke
January 14th, 2016 at 3:29 PM ^
No, you don't. At least, not unless you like teeth-gnashingly bad puns. :-)

A computer science student is studying under a tree and another pulls up on a flashy new bike. The first student asks, “Where’d you get that?”
The student on the bike replies, “While I was studying outside, a beautiful girl pulled up on her bike. She took off all her clothes and said, ‘You can have anything you want’.”
The first student responds, “Good choice! Her clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you.”
January 14th, 2016 at 4:14 PM ^
have been "whilst?"
January 14th, 2016 at 1:43 PM ^
Hey, he's actually a good coach. Now the question becomes whether or not Jed and Baalke can get out of the way well enough for him to succeed. If they were trying to bring in a coach that can still do something with Kaepernick, they found the right guy.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:46 PM ^
Good luck. The players talk, and they don't like Kelly at all.
That was a big reason why he got fired in Philly.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:47 PM ^
Oh I'm not a niners fan at all, in fact I hope it's a fantastic failure. But I do think Chip Kelly is a talented guy and could succeed in the league.
January 14th, 2016 at 3:57 PM ^
Part of being a good coach is being a good manager of personalities. He was called racist and apparently players hated him. The locker room is half your job in football, and he failed miserably at that half. It is yet to be seen if he can be a long term success in the NFL
January 14th, 2016 at 1:56 PM ^
tend to be a little weak on these cultural questions. . .
January 14th, 2016 at 3:36 PM ^
So in San Fran to complement him he will have...
January 14th, 2016 at 1:44 PM ^
We still do.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:45 PM ^
How the fuck does Chip Kelly get another job in the same year?
I mourn for the locker room morale.
Players are gonna hate him. Baalke is gonna hate him. Good luck.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:51 PM ^
Yed Jork* is a football genius.
*or do we prefer Yod Jerk?
January 14th, 2016 at 1:54 PM ^
Because Jed York is desperate and stupid.
January 14th, 2016 at 2:18 PM ^
It's better to take a chance on him then hire an old retread like Mike Shanahan.
I'm of the opinion that Kelly's downfall was in personnel management department. He can coach, and if his team wins locker room issues get easily papered over.
January 14th, 2016 at 2:27 PM ^
His defense is gonna be on the field for 70% of the game in a division with Carroll and Arians twice a year.
Even the Rams win against division foes.
Good luck.
January 14th, 2016 at 4:22 PM ^
Kelly went 26-21 in Philly with awful QBs. He made Nick Foles a pro-bowl QB with a season with 27 TDs and 2 INTs. The same Nick Foles that was effectively benched for Case Keenum. He is a good coach.
Your irrational hatred for Chip Kelly is getting really old.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:45 PM ^
This does seem like a very odd match. I have to assume Kelly or the GM agreed to put his ego aside to make this happen.
January 14th, 2016 at 2:04 PM ^
We'll see how long that lasts
January 14th, 2016 at 1:46 PM ^
That tweet is from 2014 when Harbaugh was still their coach. That doesn't mean that Jed York isn't a turd. He most definitely is.
January 14th, 2016 at 1:58 PM ^
Yeah, this is pissing me off. People are trying to make it look like the Niners are trolling Harbaugh. They've done nothing of the sort.
