Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie says Chip Kelly didn't push to keep his coaching job in their final meeting where Kelly was fired. Lurie told reporters Wednesday it was clear during the Tuesday meeting that his mind was made up and Kelly knew he was being let go. Kelly was fired after missing the playoffs for the second straight season and failing in his first year in charge of personnel.
