Chip Kelly brought Bicknell in as his WR coach, and the Niners considered him as OC last year. Yet his record is mixed at best. What's the attraction?
Chip Kelly brought some excellent assistant coaches in to Philadelphia -- special teams coordinator Dave Fipp (previously an assistant ST coach with the Dolphins and 49ers), OL coach Jeff Stoutland (from Alabama) and DB coach Cory Undlin (from Denver). When Chip signed on with the Niners, the Eagles refused to let these coaches follow him.
They had no reservations about allowing wide receivers coach Bob Bicknell to go.
