OT: 49ers Replace Tomsula with Chip Kelly

Submitted by EastCoast Esq. on

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.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. Completely missed that Twitter was quoting an old tweet.

I actually think that, as a Lions fan, I've got it better than a 49ers fan.  Jed York should try and wrap his head around that.

[EDIT - I see from a comment that it's a 2014 tweet, which makes it an odd one to quote in this context.  It's still bewildering that Lions fans have it better than 49ers fans with MFF at the helm.]

organization operates. Get rid of a great coach because of little men syndrome and then continue to act like dumb fucks and believe that no one thinks you suck. So many people in this world are unbelievable. It's sad.

who didn't know a damn thing about running an organization and a football team. The Baugh did and this rubbed his prissy little ass the wrong way because his pride was hurt being that he wasn't the main guy making the correct decisions and Jim maybe called him on it. I would've too if that was the case to better the whole team and organizations situation. Other wise what fuck is all your hard work for? The little man syndrom won over and he forced Jim out. Happens every day all over the world. Sucks but what can you do when little brats write the checks.

Organizational and decision making buffoonery aside, he could potentially build a very dangerous offense around Kaepernick.

It's a high risk/high reward gamble by the 49ers.  I like it.

or he has a $7.3M buyout.  SF has until April to make a decision, but where do you start in setting his value for a renegociated contract, when he isn't even healthy enough to work out.

Maybe, he wants to get out from under Baalke & York.  Should be an interesting off season in more than one town.

I'd argue the Browns are MUCH worse than the lions, everyone around here just has PTSD due to all the fail the lions used to produce. Just think 2 playoff appearances in 5 years, while not the best, def not the worst...

If he can handle not being the GM then I think this could be a good fit for him.  

It's not a terriblew move by the niners, but I find it interesting they're bringing in someone who is almost as crazy as Harbaugh and since they couldn;t handle that............

Reap what you sow I guess.

 

In other news, Chip Kelly has all the characteristics that got Jim Harbaugh fired...only Jim had proven he could win at the NFL level. Seems like a bad move.
