5:38 pm
year. because since january he is the gm. he is making that decision. do you think he can be that guy moving forward for another team? in other words bill belichick got a second shot. i has worked out well in new england. so has pete carol. >> i think 100 percent. chip kelly is a great head coach. he went rose bowl, rose bowl, national championship, nfc east champion, another ten-six record, didn't make the playoffs. and then this unfortunate season. he is a great head coach, does he need a fresh start? of course, after you have a bad taste in your mouth but just looking at his resume, track record it speaks for itself emmanuel ac ho changing the gear. looking good. >> yes. >> i have to step my game up. >> yes. >> yes. my man is a sharp dresser. >> of course, thanks. >> thanks very much. still to come on "eyewitness news" holy hoverboard a priest punished for using a popular toy during a christmas eve service and
