The Philadelphia Eagles gave control of player personnel to coach Chip Kelly and promoted Howie Roseman from general manager to executive vice president of football operations on Friday as part in a front-office restructuring.

Eagles owner Jeff Lurie also announced that Kelly will hire a replacement for former vice president of player personnel Tom Gamble, who was dismissed on Wednesday.

“I have a very good relationship with Chip that continues to grow stronger and stronger,” Lurie said. “When we spoke, he was thoughtful, thorough and professional. There were no demands, no threats — quite the contrary, he was passionate, engaged and articulated a dynamic and clear vision on how this fully integrated approach will work.”

Lurie met with Kelly, Roseman and club president Don Smolenski to determine their duties. Roseman will handle all aspects of team operations except player personnel.

“You have heard me say many times that I want strong leaders who feel free to express their opinions,” Lurie said. “And that is what happened here. Chip will now lead this process going forward with the continued full support of Howie, Don and myself.

“Chip will not be doing this work by himself, obviously. He has been charged with recruiting and hiring a new personnel executive that will report directly to him and together we will move forward with this new, highly integrated approach.”
