1. Chip Kelly Is An Excellent Coach
In early January, head coach Chip Kelly was given final say when it comes to team personnel decisions. Eight months after that transition was made in the front office, Lurie once again backed Kelly in his new role as a personnel chief and in his returning role as the team’s head coach.
“It’s been great," Lurie said on the front office change. “You make a significant change and you never know, but the eight months have been fantastic. Ed (Marynowitz) has been terrific, Howie (Roseman) has been outstanding at what he does and Chip has been great leading the way.
