Chip Kelly to Falcons?

[Ja Rhule]

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports the Falcons will look at Chip Kelly to replace likely-departing OC Kyle Shanahan.

Shanahan is fully expected to become the 49ers' next head coach, leaving the Falcons with a vacancy at coordinator. Kelly was a serious candidate for the Jaguars' coordinator job and will reportedly meet with Bill Belichick about a position with the Patriots. Switching to Kelly's scheme would be a risk for the most potent attack in the league, but it is reasonable to believe Kelly will have much more success if he is allowed to just focus on the offensive side of the ball. Even so, the Falcons would be wise to look for some continuity with their next coordinator.

Good, we have no problems stopping Kelly offenses. Even when they demolished us in '14, it was more due to our offense's turnovers and poor play from that side of the ball and special teams than it was because Kelly's offense caused us problems.

[Saha]

I would not be opposed to chip Kelly as our OC provided that was all he was allowed to do. I think he's a creative oc and when paired with one of the greatest athlete/qb to play I think that'd be a fantastic combo

I hate this but Chip would probably excel with their personnel

Welp

[AceBoogie]

He'll do well there with those weapons. Which could mean trouble for us

[TheRed]

Good luck trying to keep the offense healthy a full season then.

[Davidson Deac II]

I hope he does.  They have a great offense, so I hope he comes and and changes everything to his style.  

[GoobyPls]

This would be bad news for us. All those wide open receivers Gabbert missed against us Ryan would hit them in stride.

[Saca312]

I don't think Chip Kelly is a good fit to the Falcon's scheme.

If he gets it, he'll change a lot of things up. That doesn't bode well for continuity of a working WC system Shanahan worked so hard to implement.

Chip Kelly needs to go back to coaching college football.

His college tempo offense doesn't work.   He destroyed a playoff team in Philly and reduced them to absolutely nothing bringing in all his type of players.   Putting him with Cam would be disastrous.
