Chip Kelly as Varys

Get your mind out of the gutter if you thought I was going there.

49ers head coach Chip Kelly compares directly to Varys — the Master of Whisperers for the crown. Varys has his sources everywhere and appears to be scheming nonstop, although we’d like to think his efforts as good for the Realm.

Kelly has his schemes too, and these are often viewed as unique, different and hard to read on the surface.
