Chip Kelly is the New Philadelphia Eagles head coach. Philadelphia fans always expect the
most out of every season and they desperately want a Super Bowl run. If that wasn’t enough pressure for Chip Kelly, he
just received a lot more.
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.

So what does this mean? It means the Philadelphia Eagles must have a lot of confidence in this guy. I
personally am both a Philadelphia Eagles
and an Oregon Ducks fan and I still
don’t believe this is the right move for Philadelphia.
I believe that they are completely over paying a guy who
they have not seen coach in the NFL
yet. It’s kind of like giving a college player that you have drafted in the
first round because he was one of the elite players in his class in college and giving him a top tier
contract in the league.
Not only are they over paying this man, but also the
Eagles are essentially setting him up for failure. How? This would be a
completely different situation in almost every other city but because it is Philadelphia, it is a risky move. Now
that he is getting paid this much money it is a huge sign that they expect
Super Bowl run in the next year or two, they being the front office and Eagles
Fans.
Believe me, I hope his system can work in the NFL and I
hope a Super Bowl run does indeed come soon. However, I just don’t see the
point of paying Chip this much money this soon. I just hope Chip Kelly can see
that we are willing to give him this much money and it forces him to step up
and prove that he is worth this money.
