T0mShane Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 GALLERY: Roseman gains edge in Eagles power struggle The Eagles pulled back the curtain to reveal the bitterness that had developed between Chip Kelly and Howie Roseman when they announced Wednesday afternoon that they had "parted ways" with Kelly ally and vice president of player personnel Tom Gamble. Aside from a brief statement by Roseman, the Eagles swung the curtain closed with nine hours to go until the new year. Weeks will pass before anyone from the organization is required to talk and be asked to explain why they fired - because that's essentially what it was - someone Kelly had praised only two days earlier. Gamble was collateral damage in the power struggle between Kelly and Roseman that the general manager apparently has won for the time being. Their relationship had been strained since almost the start of Kelly's tenure as head coach but had become acrimonious over the last year, according to several sources within the Eagles and around the NFL. It's unclear whether Roseman would have been driven to the point of leaving, but the 39-year-old GM had conversations about the New York Jets' vacancy, according to two NFL sources.

afosomf Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Interesting, imo. You do know Howie is not a football guy...right? I cant see Lurie throwing to the curb one of the "tribe" that said Howie would fail here as well as he is basically Tanny cloned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Roseman is basically villified here in Philly as being underqualified and having little personnel strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patman Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 He is not a football guy but a manager of people. He surrounded himself with quality people in Philly. And was persistant in his efforts to land kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey maybe Chip will bail. THEN I'd be interested. I'd back up the Brinks truck for Chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanatic Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey maybe Chip will bail. THEN I'd be interested. I'd back up the Brinks truck for Chip. I don't see what's so great about Chip. He runs a great offense but in 2 years hasn't won a playoff game with a talented team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTL Jet Fan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Interesting. Maybe the Jets could hire Gamble and lure away Chip? I would rather that than Howie the cap guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I don't see what's so great about Chip. He runs a great offense but in 2 years hasn't won a playoff game with a talented team. He has GLARING holes on their team and is playing with subpar QBs and yet has won 20 games in the last 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanatic Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 He has GLARING holes on their team and is playing with subpar QBs and yet has won 20 games in the last 2 years. You have a point, I do think he is a good HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg3 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 He has GLARING holes on their team and is playing with subpar QBs and yet has won 20 games in the last 2 years. Foles was far from a sub par QB. I'm 2013 he was an almost perfect QB In 2014 he had the Eagles at 6-2 and in contention for a division title and HFA. Then he got hurt and over the last 8 games, the Eagles playoff hope and their entire season got buttfumbled right down the drain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
