I respect the dude for trying to do thing differently and as much that's been made of the roster moves where they really a contender with foles, maclin, and this version of shady.. not really.
I think the issue is that he just doesn't know how to build a team, not that he can't coach. Sure, if he gets the guys that work perfectly in his system, that offense is clicking on all cylinders, but so would a lot of other coaches if they had the perfect personnel to run their scheme. What's even more baffling is that he traded the perfect all-purpose back for his no-huddle offense, in favor of overpaying a guy who was largely the product of a dominant O-line. And he's completely ignored the O-line in the draft and FA...
Foles for Bradford was another laughable move. Never mind the fact that Foles is a better QB, but Kelly seems to think he can transform any traditional, drop-back QB into a guy who can run the no-huddle, spread offense like a savant. The Chip Kelly hype reminded me so much of when Steve Spurrier came into the league and people thought he was going to "revolutionize" pro-style offenses with freakin Patrick Ramsey...
