PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly might be returning to the NFL for the 2024 season.
Kelly, the head coach of UCLA’s football team, has drawn interest from multiple NFL teams looking for an offensive coordinator, CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reported on Sunday.
Kelly, known for his fast-paced RPO offense, took the NFL by storm in the 2010s when he became the Eagles’ head coach in 2013 and replaced Andy Reid.
He had initial success, but ultimately only lasted four total years in the NFL — three with the Birds and one season with the San Francisco 49ers.
The Philadelphia Eagles may have to make some tough decisions with the contracts of veteran players during the NFL offseason.
Philadelphia’s end-of-season skid can be attributed to many things, but one of the key factors was the lack of impressive performances from the defense.
The Eagles are not getting any younger on defense and they may be forced to move on from Darius Slay or James Bradberry in order to get better.
Slay and Bradberry will be under the most scrutiny because the Eagles secondary was the biggest weakness on the squad that crashed out in the NFC wild-card round against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Eagles must look across their entire roster to figure out which other veterans are worth keeping, or not, as they enter the 2024 season with two new coordinators and an under pressure head coach in Nick Sirianni.
