JR would have said hell no to this

Eagles made Kelly one of 10 highest paid NFL coaches, giving him a 5-yr deal worth right around $32.5 million, an average of $6.5m per year.

Sorry to make two un-related panthers thread....but jesus.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Who's Chip Kelly?

[CatMan72]

Skins gave Spurrier a big contract.

[fieryprophet]

That's just stupid. They will regret it.

[Davidson Deac II]

I am glad he would have said hell no to that.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

didnt want chip and his gimmick offense here. he'll never work long-term, he'll never stick with one QB. Multi QB system will never work in the NFL.

[rayzor]

he wouldn't hire someone not part of the NFL regardless of how good they are and i doubt he'd hire another offensive guy either.

doesn't matter how much it was going to cost, JR wouldn't think outside that box.

lol multi QB system?

John Fox was one of the highest paid coaches in the NFL. Richardson may have said "hell no" to it, but only because Kelly is an unknown.

[CatMan72]

I wouldn't hire a coach with no NFL background AND who has only been successful running a system that wouldn't work in the NFL.

[rayzor]

despite the fact that its working.

Elements of it are working as a wrinkle.

[CatMan72]

Conversely, I would have hired Jim Harbaugh, because he demonstrated his ability to succeed with a pro-style offense.

I don't know much about coaching but I know this.

If you play chess we are given the same pieces to play. Now I don't know poo about chess, so I will probably get my ass kicked if you put me across from even a "Child" chess master.

Chip Kelly is an offensive chess master. I think Rivera is a decent to very good defensive coordinator. I'll take my chances with Chip.
