The Eagles fired head coach Chip Kelly on Tuesday night, and everyone found out at the same time, including the players. This led to some wide ranging reactions which included a hot take by former Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho who played for Kelly last season..
#Eagles did not tell the players that Chip has been fired.
One just found out when I reached out to him for comment.
"Damn. For real?"

He came in, cut DJax, traded Shady & didn't sign Maclin. Now he's gone and those players are still gone. I know Philly doesn't like that.

So does Chip getting fired mean the #Eagles will call me tomorrow OR never again? Vote now!

Even former Eagles QB Donovan Mcnabb chimed in.
Well I tried to tell you before the game Saturday that the game meant much more to Chip then anything. Philly is about playoff wins. Fired
