What are Chip Kelly's realistic expectations with the Eagles? Wins/Losses?

Chip Kelly? From Oregon? Wait a minute, the college coach

Eagles fans, you can thank your GM for bringing in the best available coach

     If you don't think that Chip Kelly's success will translate to the NFL then you have another thing coming. He basically ran a college franchise at Oregon without having to shell out dollars to who he wanted. And succeeded...every single year.  Eagles fans you have just hired the savior for your franchise. The man is simply a genius and even has the endorsement of new Browns GM, Michael Lombardi. Kelly actually interviewed with the Browns but decided that he Eagles would be a better fit for success. If you see how good RGIII did with Mike Shanahan, you should wait until Kelly hand picks his QB of the future. It's going to be a sight worth seeing, I'll tell you that. The most impressive stat, however is the amount of wins and losses his Oregon squad were able to achieve year in - year out

2012: 12-1   Fiesta Bowl Victory
2011: 12-2   Rose Bowl Victory
2010: 12-1   BCS National Championship Loss
2009: 10-3   Rose Bowl Loss

     After losing two straight bowl games, Chip got his Ducks back on track and led them to success at the end of two straight seasons. And here is who Chip Kelly has to work with while waiting on his franchise QB:

Lesean McCoy



     The most dangerous back in the NFC East isn't on the Redskins roster, he plays for the Philadelphia Eagles. Lesean McCoy has become a complete back in the NFL after many analysts say him as a change of pace runner. He still struggles a big against pass rushers but he at least puts forth the effort. And while his injury history might be a little worrisome, McCoy still has the explosion to be a difference maker in Kelly's offense. McCoy can catch the ball out of the backfield while also pose as a home-run threat outside the tackles. I am sure that Philly will have some plays with McCoy lined up all over the field because of his versatility. Teams will need to watch for him every play that he is in the game.

Desean Jackson

 

     Desean, Lesean, who cares as long as their name ends in Sean. It's all the same...they both offer speed. Well, except for the fact that Desean's speed is down right ridiculous. Even though he's a smaller framed player Jackson has proven that he can get to the endzone frequently in the NFL. Just check out his contract. Jackson is best when used outside but will be given the chance to run sweeps in Kelly's offense. Just thinking about how fast Desean Jackson is with the ball in his hands should make any NFC East Fan sick to their stomach. Remember his game winning punt return against the Giants in Jersey? What about the 91 yard touchdown against the Cowboys when he fell backwards into the endzone? Disrespectful, but entertaining to say the least.

     Jeremy Maclin, Michael Vick, and Brent Celek won't make this list because they were all inconsistent last year. Though all have talent, I don't see the need to write on people who "might" benefit from the hiring of Kelly. Only people who WILL benefit. Look for the Eagles to go 9-7 under Chip Kelly and be on the fence of making the playoffs this year.
