As you might expect, Philadelphia Twitter exploded Tuesday night after news of Chip Kelly‘s “release” made the rounds. There was some negative reaction from fans who thought the third-year coach, who famously blew up the roster over the off-season — deserved one more year — but mostly, the mood was jubilant. (Also, check out how players have reacted to the news at Birds 24/7.)

It's one thing to be intelligent. Smart people know how to use their intelligence. Chip never adjusted to the NFL.

@phillymag IMO, a year too soon. You are already looking at another year of a new coach putting in his scheme and getting "his guys"

Best comment so far on @Phillydotcom: "Chip, a quick three and out, just like his offense all too often." https://t.co/NLlyduO9ub

If Lurie really wants to win everybody over, he should take this opportunity to also announce a return to the Kelly green jerseys.

At SD we believe #ChipKelly is the first coach to beat #BillBelichick and lose his job in the same season since…#SteveSpurrier … 2003

DeSean Jackson is having a good month. He got his revenge in time enough to watch Chip be fired.
