Related: About this forumChip Kelly DUMPED By Philadelphia
Chip Kelly is officially free to coach wherever he wants in 2016. In a shocking move, the Philadelphia Eagles announced on Tuesday that Kelly has been released from his contract.
"We appreciate all the contributions that Chip Kelly made and wish him every success going forward," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement.
In a separate letter, Lurie added that he made the decision to release Kelly after "Evaluating" the team's performance over the past three seasons.
"I have made a decision to release Chip Kelly this evening," Lurie's letter said. "I spent the last three seasons evaluating the many factors involved in our performance as a team. As I watched this season unfold, I determined that it was time to make a change. As we move forward, the search for a new head coach will begin and will be led by myself, Don Smolenski and Howie Roseman. To the extent that we are able, we will try to keep you informed as we go through this process."

OP
I don't think that anything could prevent Mariota from learning how to play in the NFL.

But many Titans fans are saying this. If Chip goes to TEN, Marcus won't begin to learn how to play QB in this league for another 4 years.

Chip certainly understands Mariota and they trust and respect each other.
Frankly, I don't trust Titans management to make a good choice other than Kelly.
I thought that Ken Whisenhunt was an abominable choice last year....I felt that they should have stayed with Mike Munchak and done everything in their power to keep Gregg Willams, preferably as defensive coordinator.
