Report: Chip Kelly repeatedly botched play calls during games

Our Summary

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly following a series of play-calling errors. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Kelly frequently called incorrect plays or ones not included in the playbook, complicating quarterback Geno Smith's ability to execute at the line of scrimmage. Instances were reported where Kelly failed to provide proper instructions, leaving Smith uncertain during crucial moments. Kelly's stint with the Raiders marks another unsuccessful tenure in the NFL, following previous roles as head coach for the Eagles and 49ers. Despite his college-level success, Kelly's NFL career continues to face challenges.
