At least one player was unaware that Kelly had been fired until he was told by Eliot Shorr-Parks of NJ.com. #Eagles did not tell the players that Chip has been fired. One just found out when I reached out to him for comment. "Damn. For real?" — Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) December 30, 2015 That same player later told Shorr-Parks that he is "pissed" about the move and that he had no idea it was coming.   Share the latest business news with your network: Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
