The 49ers on Thursday hired Chip Kelly to become the organization’s seventh head coach of the past 15 years.
CEO Jed York made the announcement on Twitter:
"After a thorough search, Trent & I are thrilled to announce Chip Kelly as the new #HeadCoach of the @49ers"

I have been saying that for over a year. The Raider faithful can spend an extra hour or less to attend the games.
Levi Stadium is an awesome stadium. Leaving is a problem, but leaving from the junkyard in Oakland is a challenge.
Whoa,Just told my husband.Good luck 49ers.

Eagles offered Mcadoo AND Coughlin contracts. Both denied them. Now they settle for Pederson? Love it

Jim has to be the happiest big time coach after watching the Former Niners fall apart and rot on the field in Levi Stadium with more no show fans that those attending.
The little rich boy jerk owners have ruined a good team and let a good coach get out of the hell they created.
The Raiders are the ones stopping it. Apparently they don’y want to share a stadium with the 49ers, because they view themselves as a vastly superior organization that should not have to share a stadium with such vermin.
It's awesome for everything, except football. It was designed for shopping etc., not for football. They had to replace the awful turf at least six times before the first game. Candlestick was better.
The little rich boy jerk, as you call him, didn't want to pay Harbaugh what his success would merit, so he tanked the 2014 season. But, at the end of the day, little rich boy jerk got everything he wanted. He got the stadium built. He's making money, and he has cheap coaches and cheap payroll. He doesn't care if they win.
I....would not have hired him.
I’m just very happy that the 49ers decided Kaep was the way to go and traded Alex Smith to Kansas City.
Go Chiefs!
I think a domed stadium built where Candlestick was is the right solution for the Raiders(call ‘em the Golden State Raiders)but it will never happen. Kalifornia is what Trump means when he says “We never win anymore.” “The country is run by stupid people.”
I’ve been a Niners fan since I saw my first game at Kezar in ‘57. No more. At least Windlestick had soul, and of course much history was made there. Levi Stadium sucks. It’s a monument to the super-rich, liberal jackasses who run Silicon Valley and looks like it. Besides all that, the NFL, like NASCAR and Formula One, is doing its level best to destroy itself. Eff ‘em all.
Me either. Oh well.
You should be thanking Philadelphia they fired Andy Reid, which was a huge mistake.
Smith is only doing as well as he is, because Reid has done a masterful job in tailoring the offense to Smith's meager abilities. The Chiefs would be much more likely to win the playoff game this weekend, if they had a real, NFL-caliber quarterback.
Maybe in the off season Reid could get someone like Nick Foles.
As long as the corrupt and idiotic Roger Goodell runs the NFL it will get worse.
You want to win. York just wants low payroll, and the Eages are still giving Kelly $13 million.
Plus watching Bradford try to learn Kelly's offense and then having Kelly fired at the immediate end of the season points to dysfunction in Philly that goes well beyond the numerous blunders of Kelly.
No wonder Coughlin wanted no part of the place.
Good move, Kelly is a great coach. As Bellichick noted, the players he got rid of didn’t do squat for their new teams.
If you score a TD in two minutes, that’s not good for your Defense.
Kelly thinks football is a video game. I heard him talking last year before the national championship game between Oregon and Ohio State. He was discussing how Oregon could score 40 points in 5 minutes and knock Ohio State out of the game before they knew what hit them. He forget one thing, for that high school offense to work you have to have faster athletes than the other team, and Ohio State turned out to much faster than the Oregon players. They ended up routing Oregon in the title game. That was the main reason teams running that spread break-neck offense are not that good in the pros. In the pros you’re playing against world class football players and all are super fast, or they wouldn’t be pros. The 49ers were crazy to hire Kelly. Like I said he’s playing with the big boys now. And his personality absolutely does not suit the pro game.
