SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Six days after the San Francisco 49ers announced the hiring of Chip Kelly as the 20th coach in franchise history, the 49ers will finally (thankfully?) introduce Kelly in a media conference today at 11 a.m. PT at Levi’s Stadium.

Kelly, though, was in Santa Clara last Thursday and Friday long enough to pose for pictures with CEO Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke before reportedly flying back to New Hampshire for the holiday weekend.

The official reasons given by the Niners at the time for not introducing him right away were “scheduling conflicts" and the franchise’s desire to “allow Coach Kelly the ability to focus on constructing his coaching staff over the coming days."

Fair enough, especially if Kelly shows up with answers and has filled some holes on his coaching staff, especially at defensive coordinator.

But if Kelly, who was hired by York and Baalke with more red flags than Niners Super Bowl banners, has vague answers at best, then the perception will be that the notoriously secretive Kelly is already telling the Niners what to do.

Some clarity should arise today, though, but in advance, I asked my Twitter followers what questions they would like asked of Kelly. Following are samples, and why I think they are good queries to lob at the Niners' new coach ...

@PGutierrezESPN he has a history of players not liking him. Will he do anything to change that? — Os Cruz (@OsLovesBeer) January 19, 2016

@PGutierrezESPN what's more important in a QB, his mobility or accuracy? — Genesis (@INDlVlDUAL) January 19, 2016

@PGutierrezESPN is he going to continue to burden his defense with a strategy that amounts to 3 extra games or will he adapt his philosophy? — Wendell Waldron (@wendellwaldron) January 19, 2016

@PGutierrezESPN What's his assessment of the wide receiver corp? Will the #49ers resign Alex Boone? How will he keep the defense fresh? — Tony Nagatani (@AnthonyNagatani) January 19, 2016

What he learned from being HC in PHI. What does he plan to do differently w/regards to player/HC relationship https://t.co/iiPhHlxUO9 — NinerBryan (@BryanGroves2) January 19, 2016

To be fair, Kelly's players at Oregon liked him enough because the Ducks were winning. The Eagles players seemed to turn on him when he got too much power over personnel in Philadelphia and jettisoned some of the more popular players. And we're not getting into the racial undertones suggested by the likes of LeSean McCoy . Winning is the ultimate deodorant and if the Niners win under Kelly, it's hard to imagine Kelly caring much about his Q Score in the 49ers' locker room.The elephant in the room, eh? Of course -- a million times of course -- the fans want to know Kelly's thoughts on Colin Kaepernick . Maybe they don't want to know if Kelly thinks he can resurrect the dual-threat quarterback, but if he wants Kaepernick on his roster in the first place. Remember, while Kaepernick has always been seen as one of the more mobile QBs in the NFL, he's been sacked 80 times in 24 starts over the past two seasons, and his 59.0 percent completion rate last season was the second-lowest of his career.Great question. The Niners defense was actually a team strength despite finishing 29th in total defense under defensive coordinator Eric Mangini, with All-Pro inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman leading the way. Kelly's quick-pace offense averaged a play every 23.1 seconds of possession in Philadelphia, nearly three seconds faster than the next-quickest team. As a result, the offense's average time of possession of 26:20 was lowest in the league. The popular theory is that the Eagles defense was gassed in the second half as a result and the numbers seem to bear that out, especially in the pass-rush department. Philadelphia fell from 22 first-half sacks last season to 13 after halftime, and the Eagles gave up 36.0 points and 450.2 yards per game in Weeks 11 through 16 before Kelly was dismissed prior to the season finale.This one is interesting in that Anquan Boldin is the possession receiver, but he will be an unrestricted free agent and 36 years old in October, and that Torrey Smith is a burner downfield. A case could be made that the best receivers on the roster to fit Kelly's quick-strike offense are Quinton Patton and Bruce Ellington . Chew on that. Alex Boone is the one who said Jim Harbaugh needed to go because he was essentially too tough on the team. So chew on that, too. And, yes, we already chewed on the defense question earlier.Another fine question that is sure to be asked. Let's take it one step further, though, and wonder, what could he have learned in the humility department between Dec. 29, when the Eagles fired him, and Jan. 14, when the Niners hired him?
