This is such a baffling move on both sides. What on earth makes Baalke think he'll be able to stand Kelly for more than a couple months? Why didn't Kelly go to Tennessee? I don't get it.

But being forced to watch Niners games every Sunday just got more rewarding.

I kind of understand it.  They've blown through two coaches, one terrific, one terrible.  But the team's talent has gone south in a hurry.  If I'm Chip Kelly, I'm thinking that this isn't the year that Chip is on the hot seat.  This is the year that Baalke is on the hot seat.  He did well in the draft through 2011 (AJ Jenkins notwithstanding), completely whiffed in 2012, and has had three mediocre years since, at least in terms of players who stuck on the roster.  So Chip might be thinking "2016 is likely to be a stinky year, and if I don't overrely on rookies, I may be in the catbird seat when Trent gets fired in December, 2016." 

A separate item of which I'm curious is his staff.  Who will he bring with him?  Everyone?  Will he keep Mangenious?
