 I wonder if Jeff was going to relinquish Chip's GM duties and an argument erupted.

So now that they're firing a totally me-first, dour control freak in Chip Kelly, they're going to need to hire a conservative, upbeat, player friendly coach next.

... Wade Philips?

I feel like I remember a discussion from last year about Howie Roseman hating Chip Kelly and potentially building up to backstab him. I wonder if that has anything to do with what happened here.
I'm betting it's a little bit of everything

 I tend to believe Sal Pal's report of Lurie wanting to take away GM duties and Chip refusing. This was definitely a final nail situation though

If Chip Kelly never coaches in the NFL again his career in the league will end at 26-21 (55% win rate) and one playoff appearance.

I have to imagine that ranks way up there for head coaches with careers of 3 years or shorter.
It's ahead of the likes of Belichick, Payton and Rivera in their first 3 years. Thing is though he did a lot of that with Andy's players. Chip thought he could do better, and welp

 A buddy of mine who lives in south Philly just posted on FB that he heard Mummers in the distance playing a string band rendition of "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead" accompanied by Fly Eagles Fly singing

We tried to warn you guys for months, and you went deeper in denial.

If it's any consolation, despite this being the 2015 Harbaugh move, even down to happening a day later than the original Harbaugh move, the actual Harbaugh stuff was worse and funnier (not by much in the latter department but still)
I should've maybe added it's more the timing than anything. Deep down I knew this wasn't going to end well, but I never anticipated this.
