Chip Kelly the coach isn't the problem for Eagles

— -- After Chip Kelly won a power struggle within the Eagles organization last winter, it seemed like his time in Philadelphia could be measured in decades, not years. Now, months later, his run as football czar in Philly could be coming to a premature close. Notable performances on Thanksgiving always seem to have an outsized impact -- see Julius Jones' career -- and Thursday's 45-14 loss to the Lions, the second four-touchdown loss the Eagles have suffered in less than a week, leaves Philadelphia and its embattled coach on the brink. With rumors linking Kelly to virtually every semi-available college gig, should the Eagles be ready to cut bait on their much-ballyhooed hire?

There's not one simple answer to that question, and that's because there's not one simple version of Chip Kelly. There's Kelly the coach and Kelly the general manager, and each has a distinct level of culpability and credibility. It's often difficult to separate the coach from the GM, but doing so is essential to figuring out whether the Eagles should be buying or selling on Chip Kelly the human.
