Needed to be done. The guy blew up the team to get the team he wanted and the record shows. You bring in last year's top RB (a downhill runner) and now you have him running laterally from the shotgun, why? And the one thing that held Eagles up for half the season is now non-existant, the defense.
The only thing that's shocking is the timing of the firing. One game left I thought for sure they'd finish the season with him, but now I guess fans can go in to the next game expecting a loss or having no expectation at all. As for me, multiple blowouts the last few games and an absolute demolition of the Eagles by the Redskins, a team not even predicted to make the playoffs, came into Lincoln Financial Field and clinched the division.
It's a rebuilding process that's finally happening. Chip inherited a good team from Reid, imo, and decided to get rid of everyone to make it his own. Let the record show that Chip is a lousy GM. Chip the GM failed Chip the coach, which ended up costing him his job.
