The 49ers Long Road Back to Contention
Chip Kelly needs a new home
OK, so it’s only been eight games. And it feels like the team just hired and fired former head coach Jim Tomsula.
Some people probably feel that this is an unfair call because the majority of what’s wrong with this team is over Chip Kelly’s head.
However, if you factor in the future of this team then this is actually a pretty easy call. Coach Kelly was brought in to facilitate the needs of quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The system was built for him. Kaepernick will thrive in Kelly’s system, this was believed to be true because Chip’s system is built for a mobile quarterback.

It sounded logical, so why not? Now in hindsight, it was a huge miss just like Trent Baalke’s decision to stay out of the free-agent market.
Moving forward, anyone drafted that isn’t a dual threat won’t be a good fit in Kelly’s system. With that being said, the best reason to keep him around no longer applies.
It has also been recently reported that Coach Kelly and Baalke are not on good terms. And fans are fully aware of what happened to the last head coach that cracked heads with the current general manager.
He’s well on his way to a potential BCS Title.
