Chip Kelly was widely criticized in Philadelphia for his inability to work with others and listen to ideas other than his own. If his addition of Curtis Modkins as offensive coordinator is any indication, he may have learned his lesson.
Kelly is infamously a high-tempo revolutionary coach in NFL terms and he will undoubtedly bring his unique offensive philosophy to the San Francisco 49ers. Yet, in a surprising move based on his history, he picked a power-running guy to be his offensive coordinator.
Curtis Modkins has been the running backs coach for the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions and is more than deserving of a chance to be an offensive coordinator.
