It seems to me that if we're changing the philosophy from:
Owner > GM > HC to.... Owner > HC=>GM...
Then you need a big name who's going to be here for awhile.
Chip Kelly fits that bill, and can pick and choose front office people to build his team. He has high football IQ, is a big name that will sell ST commitments, and honestly has some nice weapons, a lot of cap space, and a #1 draft pick to build on.
