PHILADELPHIA – ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joined SiriusXM's "Movin' The Chains" with Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller Tuesday afternoon to discuss the latest happenings in the NFL.
Among the discussed topics was the status of head coach Chip Kelly with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The following is a transcription from the conversation:
Kirwan:
"I sat with a guy last week who swore that Chip Kelly is leaving. I don't know why I should believe him, although I have great respect for him. What do you hear on that front?"
Schefter:
"I think the momentum and signs seem to be piling up against a Chip return to Philadelphia. I think both sides are sick of each other.
I think the fans are tired of him. I think he is tired of the situation there — just my read from afar.
That stadium began emptying early in the fourth quarter. It was an ugly scene.
They are still in the thick of that division race. Let's not forget that. . . . If they go into Detroit on Thanksgiving Day and win, we'll have a different conversation next week.
But, I just think that Chip Kelly, if given a choice, might be comfortable elsewhere. We'll see how that shakes out. I certainly will include him in my question marks of choices that we'll be tracking in January. I think we can say that.
I don't doubt what your friend is saying about Chip Kelly being a 'goner' or however you want to categorize it, . . . whatever he said to you. But, I think that that bears watching."
Schefter will likely address this conversation Wednesday as a part of his weekly appearance with "Mornings with Anthony Gargano" on 97.5 The Fanatic.
