The 2015 Philadelphia Eagles season was the franchise's 83rd season in the National Football League (NFL) and the third and final year of head coach Chip Kelly.
Acting as the de facto general manager, Kelly cut or traded several prominent starters, such as Nick Foles, Evan Mathis, Trent Cole, and 2013 rushing champion LeSean McCoy, while their leading receiver Jeremy Maclin left in free agency. Kelly brought in new players like Sam Bradford, Byron Maxwell, Kiko Alonso, and 2014 rushing champion DeMarco Murray, who he believed to better fit his system. After a 1-year hiatus from the NFL, the team also signed quarterback Tim Tebow on April 20, 2015 in what would be Tebow's last stint in the NFL until 2021, when he converted to tight end and play for his hometown Jacksonville Jaguars, but was cut by the team on August 17, 2021, after just one preseason game. In a mirror image of 2014, the Eagles were eliminated from playoff contention in a Week 16 Saturday Night Football loss to the Washington Redskins. On December 29, 2015, Kelly was abruptly fired by the Eagles. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur would take over as interim head coach for the final week of the 2015 season.[1]
