When Chip Kelly was hired there were many writers and analysts who were immediately dismissive he would succeed in the NFL or that his demolishing of the Redskins to start the season was basically a fad. Healthy skepticism is one thing, close minded “hot takes” are another. Kelly’s proven them wrong immediately. After every Eagles win, fans take to Twitter to retweet those who were hilariously wrong. But it can be a taxing exercise having to find those tweets you’ve favorited from over the summer or searching and wading through the ever growing number of ironic tweets that say similar things to what some people actually believe. Now you don’t have to. For your bookmarking pleasure, I have compiled (and will continue to add to) a cornucopia of funny then, hilarious now tweets by media members who think they know everything when they so clearly know so little. You’re welcome.

First, the finest of wines:

I mean, from what I can see it took less than 15 minutes of game time to figure out Chip Kelly's offense. — Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) September 9, 2013

So O'Brien, Chip and Brian say no to the Eagles. How the mighty Birds have fallen. — Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) January 12, 2013

Heath Evans: "I am going on the record calling Chip Kelly one of the worst hires in pro football history." http://t.co/JAxmK4V0 — NFL (@nfl) January 16, 2013

I say Kelly. RT @MeinBender: @espn_nfceast – next NFC east coach to get fired/retire? My guess Coughlin ( retire) — Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) June 12, 2013

And so many others:

I can't imagine Kelly is their top choice @arocketsa @LesBowen who becomes #1 if they don't get Kelly? — Reuben Frank (@RoobCSN) January 4, 2013

Actually happy #Eagles won't get Chip Kelly. Clev can have him. With what's out there I would like Bruce Arians now for #Eagles — Howard Eskin (@howardeskin) January 5, 2013

Hope for Philly's sake Kelly's all in–and won't turn tail+run like Saban or Petrino back to college football womb when things get tough. — Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) January 16, 2013

@Southern_Philly To be clear, I think it's possible Kelly could just bail. — Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) June 12, 2013

I promise Eagles fans this: Someday, you will have a QB who makes you say, "I can't believe we tried to talk ourselves into Nick Foles!" — Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) June 13, 2013

My guess is he ends up going bk to college. RT @dpenny90: @DanGrazianoESPN do you think Chip Kelly will ultimately be successful in the NFL? — Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) August 24, 2013

Man, Graziano has a lot of these.

No to Chip Kelly for the Eagles. No gimmick offense college coaches that want to "try it" in NFL. Google Steve Spurrier — John Kincade (@JohnKincade) December 31, 2012

As @dcsportsbog reminds: Chip Kelly debut: 77 plays, 433 yds, 33 pts. Steve Spurrier debut: 73 plays, 442 yds, 31 pts. Gimmicks for both. — Bob Glauber (@BobGlauber) September 13, 2013

Chip Kelly trying these College Gimmick plays! I guess he forgot everybody N this league picks up a check on Tues, Not just 5star recruits — Travis Johnson (@trapj99) September 20, 2013

1. Raiders 2. Jaguars 3. Bills 4. Chargers 5. Eagles. RT @NFLosophy Who do you think has the first 5 picks in the 2014 NFL draft? — Evan Silva (@evansilva) July 6, 2013

@NFLosophy And are they gonna run a read-option offense out of the shotgun? That failed miserably in Carolina last year. — Evan Silva (@evansilva) July 6, 2013

Guess Chip will return to being a genius this week. — Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) November 4, 2013

Chip Kelly is having his football Rumspringa. Getting a taste for NFL before heading back to college. No horse & buggy in his offense though — Dan Levy (@DanLevyThinks) January 6, 2013

The novelty is gone from Chip Kelly's offense, @samdonnellon writes, and the honeymoon is over: http://t.co/bAizai7PKr — Philly.com Sports (@phillysport) October 29, 2013

Chip Kelly once crapped all over the importance of Time of Possession. I'm curious if he changes his tune: http://t.co/8mKFAI9cSE — David Murphy (@ByDavidMurphy) August 14, 2013

True that RT @Wale: michaelsmith chip Kelly gon be Steve spurrier part 2 if he think anybody other then MV can run that rush offense — Michael Smith (@michaelsmith) June 7, 2013

Is it weird that Chip Kelly is at Radio City Music Hall and not in the #Eagles war room? — Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) April 26, 2013

That was Brian Kelly and you do not get the benefit of the doubt that you were trying to be funny.

Tony Romo is flattered on the sideline by Matt Barkley's impersonation of himself. Chip Kelly is already looking at homes close to USC. — SportsNation (@SportsNation) October 20, 2013

Spurriering RT @realfreemancbs: Chip Kelly is shaking up the Eagles but he had better be careful: http://t.co/4PYUgTbehI — Eric Kay (@ekaycbs) June 6, 2013

That one’s great because it’s a two for one.

If I'm an Eagles fan, I would be very relieved. — Reuben Frank (@RoobCSN) January 7, 2013

10 days later he says this.

Took heat from some Browns' fans when I questioned Chip Kelly's fit with Cleveland's current talent. Love the Rob Chudzinski hire, though. — Rob Rang (@RobRang) January 11, 2013

Both #browns and #eagles get feeling Chip Kelly not sure he wants to go to #NFL. Why would u want someone that is unsure and may bail early — Howard Eskin (@howardeskin) January 6, 2013

Cleveland Browns better off without Chip Kelly: Terry Pluto – http://t.co/MiSP9MXr @clevelanddotcom — Terry Pluto (@terrypluto) January 6, 2013

When it comes to Chip Kelly and the Browns, I don't really care. Chudzinski is a better fit, period. — Andrea Hangst (@FBALL_Andrea) January 16, 2013

#Eagles are really getting soft. Practicing indoors again today despite sunshine. Guess it's a little too chilly for them. — Dave Weinberg (@PressACWeinberg) November 13, 2013

Lets hope Chip Kelly doesn't bolt back to college mid-season like Petrino. Phone lines are open 347-996-5176 http://t.co/yRIyvWKzSb #Eagles — Andrew Vigliotti (@Andrew_Vig) October 1, 2013

Now might be a decent time for USC to check in with Chip Kelly and see how he feels about coming back to college — Justin Higdon (@afc2nfc) September 29, 2013

Disappointed Panthers lost but happy for young Bills team. Glad to see the Chargers solved Chip Kelly. Really not liking delays. — Jeff Haseley (@JeffHaseley) September 16, 2013

@TSteg2011 Yes but I'm glad that the Eagles lost and that we're not anointing Chip Kelly as coach of yr just yet Offense isn't everything. — Jeff Haseley (@JeffHaseley) September 16, 2013

Bet Chip Kelly's thinking he has the NFL solved. So did Spurrier after Osaka. Eagles are probably 8-8. — Rick Snider (@Snide_Remarks) September 10, 2013

@Ragattis I don't like college coaches coming to the NFL….don't think Chip Kelly's offense would translate to the NFL — Mike Hill (@ItsMikeHill) December 27, 2010

So why is Chip Kelly getting all this NFL love? Brian Kelly runs more of a pro offense and preaches great defense — Kevin Cooney (@KevinCooney) December 31, 2012

Don't understand the fascination w/ #Oregon HC Chip Kelly, whose approach won't work in #NFL. Much rather have #PennState HC Bill O'Brien. — Scott Wright (@DraftCountdown) December 30, 2012

Great interview w/ @CoachBillick on why Chip Kelly's offense won't work in NFL & why it's become a GM's league http://t.co/xkHsUE0h — Marty Caswell (@MartyCaswell) November 29, 2012

If Chip Kelly goes to Bucs and tries to run his offense, it won't work. Josh Freeman won't be happy. — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) January 23, 2012

Agreed, but because of Josh Freeman

Best move ever for Bucs: Chip Kelly saying no. He's a college coach. — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) January 23, 2012

Hear ya. RT @karanpdesai: the overhyped reaction to C.Kelly rings like Spurrier to the 'Skins w/ a similarly suspect QB situation. — Phil Sheridan (@SheridanScribe) January 16, 2013

This. –> “@KNegandhiESPN: Whatever the outcome today, Eagles may have found the answer on their future at QB. He's still in college.” — Ashley Fox (@AshleyFoxESPN) October 20, 2013

Yup. Fad went out of style for a reason RT @Aaron_Nagler: Some team is going to give Chip Kelly control over personnel. They'll regret it. — Ty Schalter (@tyschalter) December 31, 2012

I’m loving these two for ones.

FYI Chip Kelly parlor tricks belong in Vegas not the NFL your game is killing Foles footwork. Solid QB needs a NFL minded offense — Leon Hughes (@leonhughes) December 8, 2013

I started Foles in my FF lineup and i will take a beating today. Just like watching his luck run out. Time for Chip Kelly to learn the NFL. — Leon Hughes (@leonhughes) December 8, 2013

Well at least Foles will have an excuse if he throws an INT. Philly likes excuses they have been using them since the 60's. — Leon Hughes (@leonhughes) December 8, 2013

Just finished watching tape of Eagles game yesterday and last 2. Wow knew RGIII was going to fall apart but Fowles may be worse and its soon — Leon Hughes (@leonhughes) December 2, 2013
