The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that they have released Chip Kelly, a shocking move that many did not expect to happen tonight.
Owner Jeffery Lurie released a statement to Eagles season ticket holders explaining the move:
“I have made a decision to release Chip Kelly this evening. 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.
Pat Shurmur will be our interim coach for the Giants game Sunday.
