After reportedly alienating about half of the Philadelphia Eagles locker room last season, Chip Kelly appears to have learned his lesson.

The new San Francisco 49ers head coach faced a lot of criticism for the way he handled his business in Philly, but general manager Trent Baalke likes what he's seen so far.

"He's the same guy every day," Baalke told Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. "He's on point. He's a very good communicator. He's very concise in his communication with the players. They know exactly what he's looking for, as does his staff. He's demanding without being demanding, if that makes sense."

Kelly has displayed that he knows his style with the Eagles needed adjusting. He has also modified the team's practices enough that receiver Torrey Smith called it the "best camp schedule I've ever been apart of."

Baalke says Kelly has a clean slate with the 49ers and he's made the best of it.

"I can't talk about what happened in Philly," said Baalke. "I can just tell you from my standpoint, communication has been natural and easy ... There've been no issues with lines of communications or thoughts or organizational structure."
