Chip Kelly, Eagles’ coach and GM, fired
Since March 2014, Kelly released three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson, traded two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy, didn’t re-sign 2014 Pro Bowl wideout Jeremy Maclin, cut two-time Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis and traded quarterback Nick Foles and a 2016 second-round draft pick for Sam Bradford.
McCoy, the franchise’s all-time leading rusher and a fan favorite, made headlines when he said there’s a reason Kelly got rid of “all the good black players.”
Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will coach the team in the season finale againt the Giants in New Jersey on Sunday.
