Before the Philadelphia Eagles final game of the regular season, the team fired Head Coach Chip Kelly. The former Oregon Ducks Coach is wasting no time looking for his next suitor and has interviewed with the San Francisco 49ers who recently fired Jim Tomsula Sunday and the 49ers are an attractive landing spot not just for Kelly, but for anyone looking to turn around a team.
According to Philly.com, not only does San Francisco have more than a handful of 2016 Draft Picks, but also over $40 million in Salary Cap Space for next season. With that landscape in front of you, any of our readers could likely build a team with talent to compete for next season and if you play Fantasy football, you probably have. 12 Draft picks await the new Head Coach for San Francisco and Kelly was one of the first to interview for the position earlier this week.

In considering San Francisco, Kelly is showing that he does not have Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans in the forefront, but San Francisco may be an intriguing landing spot for the former Philadelphia Head Coach. A rebuilding project that could, with the right players, be a quick turnaround.
