Lurie only has himself to blame. Mismanagement on his part to let a college-NFL-noob control so much of the football operations, and allow the gutting of so much talent. Even if he isn't a football guy, as a business guy, he should've realized you don't get rid of your assets.

Appearing on Sirius XM NFL Radio, ESPN's Adam Schefter said "momentum and signs seem to be piling up against a Chip Kelly return to Philadelphia."
Schefter added that the two sides are "sick of each other." The Eagles have greatly underachieved this year, compiling a listless 4-6 record while playing in arguably the league's worst division. Kelly's offense has been particularly disappointing as the Eagles have averaged just 22.9 points per game, well down from last year's 29.6. A host of college teams will be interested in Kelly if he becomes available this offseason.

Several of the Chipster decisions were questionable but I keep looking back at the QB position & as an example why a receiver like Matthews, who was looking real good this time last year, has been mostly awful this year. Why all the dropped passes by most receivers? Just coincidence or something to do with how the QB delivers the ball? Beyond my expertise, others may have more informed opinions (other than 'lol Iggles') but I have never been a big believer in 'coincidence'.
If RB Mathews had been a bust, this team would probably be winless, so I guess it's be thankful for small mercies & one that Chip got right at this point. Though what I will be interested to see is if this team gets progressively worse the next few games, does Chip even see out the season. As unlikely as it is this is Philly after all & such a scenario would get ugly.
