Evan Mathis blasts Chip Kelly's time in Philly

It's safe to say Evan Mathis won't be on the 49ers' radar this offseason.

Although the former Eagle now has a Super Bowl Championship with the Denver Broncos and is a free agent this offseason, some remarks he made today to a Denver-area news outlet make it less likely he'll be following former Eagles head coach Chip Kelly to San Francisco.

In an email-interview with Mike Klis of 9News in Denver, Mathis offered his evaluation of Kelly's coaching performance in Philly:

“There were many things that Chip had done that showed me he wasn’t building a championship team,” Mathis wrote.
