assume the role of the senior director of player personnel. kelly made huge moves trading shady mccoy and signing demarco murray, to that move and many others led to poor results. lurie decided to pull the plug and eagles will be searching for a new head coach for the second time in four years. we caught up with former bird coach dick vermeil who said that the decision took him by surprise. >> well, i was shocked, you know, i know jeffery luurie was not an impulsive guy so this must have been on his mind for a while. the i believe in the the nfl, system, and chain have of command, ownership on down but you know, a coach fired even before the end of the season or before he gets to fulfill his contract, it is disappointing but that is the world we live in. >> we will learn much more in a press conference, at noon time today, and then the search begins for a new coach.

leader, and that will be the man, that will guide them to the end. >> eagles nation does the not hold back. big question among many fans was who will be chip kelly's replacement. of course we want to you connect with us, tell us what you think about the firing of the chip kelly, just head to cbs philly facebook page or tweet us at cbs philly hashtag cbs-3. whether fans or for it or against it kelly's departure has been the topic of the air waves as ukee washington tells us at our sister radio station sports radio 94 wip reaction has been strong. >> before or against it we will ask it. >> i'm sort of for it. >> reporter: ninety-four wip host paul jolovitz needed an offensive line to block for him, blitz of calls about kelly was unstoppable. >> i believe that chip had an ego and he could not push his ego aside, just wow, you know, i just could not believe it. i thought at least he would be here another year. >> reporter: yes. >> fans have been in favorite. there are fans against it,

fans want playoffs. fans want excitement at home report rory talk to pro bowl defensive lineman fletcher cox and he offered these thoughts. >> you know, we all respected him, we never thought this would coming. this was a curve ball to us. we enjoyed him. we just wish him the best, man. >> i don't think chip ever lost that locker room. i think chip kept everyone focused. >> reporter: owner jeffery lurie has talk with super bowls and championships. he has always wanted the best for the fans and the city. when it comes to results, chip's fast paced offense just was not fast enough. >> chip kelly out. do you like it, you don't like it, your reaction and much, much more on wip. >> i'm ukee washington for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> they will have plenty to talk about today. eyewitness sports reporter pat gallon will be at wip later this morning, last night voice of the eagles merrill reese told pat it wasn't one thing that led to kelly's firing but the whole season.

>> it is not just the the record, it is the fact that this team was blown out, by a sub par tampa bay team, blown out by the lions. you can understand the game against a great team against arizona cardinals will not go the way you want but there were too many games this year where this team was not competitive, and i think that is something that no doubt, it concerned jeffery lurie. >> we will continue to cover every angle of the firing of the chip kelly and again eagles scheduled a news conference at noon to discuss this personnel change. we will carry it live right here on cbs-3. well, pennsylvania governor tom wolf vetoes part of the state budget plan but released money for philly's cash strapped schools.

freeing up is a stop gap not a budget. it is money our school district and several other agencies desperately need. governor wolf called the the last budget bill he got the ridiculous, he spared no word tuesday in harrisburg, telling his g.o.p. control legislature to draft a bill that balanced it, without stripping funding to education and human services. now that so far has not happened, so wolf brought out his line-item veto power, obligating him to fund some budget items and overlook others after a six month budget stand still. the the 23 billion due soon from harrisburg is welcomed from state school districts, philadelphia worried it may have been forced to close without fund next month. governor wolf says republicans went home without finishing their work this month and republicans say that the governor has been slow to act and that a bill they had in june, wolf vetoed. wolf warns not acting soon could lead to deep cuts and higher tax an "s". >> we need to get it right this time.

so to the legislators elected to to do the the peoples business, get back to work. get back to the work of the people and get back to the work of the people of pennsylvania sent us to let's all finish the job. you almost finish last week. >> what the governor did was necessary and he is trying to keep the train moving in the the right direction. people are suffering, social services, agencies were suffering, school districts are borrowing causing more costs to them. so i think what he is doggies only thing he can do at this moment. >> mayor-elect jim kenney watching budget talks very closely here in philadelphia coming up at 5:00 we will bring you to a local agency that is welcoming this money after months of doing without. nicole, back over to you. thanks for that update. we appreciate it. still ahead on "eyewitness news" make sure you have extra cash before you hit the road, coming up the the hike in tolls that will start this weekend. firing of the eagles head coach chip kelly we will have more on the owner's jeffery
