The Facts: Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie today announced a new structural change for the Eagles. GM Howie Roseman will be elevated to the role of Executive Vice President of Football Operations and will continue directing contract negotiations, salary cap management and NFL strategic matters, while overseeing the team’s medical staff, equipment staff and more. Head coach Chip Kelly will now oversee the player personnel department. He will also lead efforts to hire a new personnel executive – a process that will begin immediately. “We are a good football team and we believe these steps will help make us a great team," said Lurie. "That step - from good to great - is the most difficult one for any organization to make. To do that, sometimes you have to step back and really look hard at where you are today and what you want to become."

Diehards Line: Kelly, who was hired as the Eagles head coach in 2013, has had two 10-win seasons. “I am very confident about where we are headed as a team and as an organization. I look forward to continue working with Jeffrey and Howie as well as the personnel department," said Kelly. Kelly will now run the scouting department, much like former coach Andy Reid. Kelly will now pick the players and will have final say over personnel decisions. Which means, in the end, the Eagles will live or die with Kelly's coaching and personnel decisions. As NFL.com noted , few coaches have been able to pull this off well. If it doesn't work out for Kelly in Philadelphia, Roseman will likely outlive him with the Eagles.
