49ers, Eagles unveil coaches
Print Edition
THE San Francisco 49ers picked up rejected Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly on Thursday while the Eagles replaced him with Doug Pederson, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator.
Pederson accepted the Eagles’ offer, a person with knowledge of the decision said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Eagles have not officially announced the hiring. Pederson, who didn’t interview with any other teams, can’t be officially hired while the Chiefs are in the NFL playoffs. Kansas City plays at New England tomorrow.
Pederson, who started nine games at quarterback for the Eagles in 1999, grooming Donovan McNabb to take over the job for Andy Reid’s team, isn’t a popular choice in a city that hasn’t celebrated an NFL championship since 1960 while Kelly faces the daunting challenge of transforming the once-proud franchise into an immediate contender again.
Kelly, who had personnel control with the Eagles and frustrated some of his players, won’t be introduced at a news conference until next week at Levi’s Stadium based on scheduling conflicts and Kelly working to immediately build his staff.
Kelly replaces fired coach Jim Tomsula, promoted from his defensive line duties last January to succeed Jim Harbaugh before going 5-11 — a move general manager Trent Baalke said this month wound up being the wrong one, in hindsight.
