The Chip Kelly era officially came to an end on Tuesday night when the team released him and Ed Marynowitz, vice president of player personnel.
Offensive Coordinator Pat Shurmur will take over coaching duties for the Eagles' final game on Sunday against the Giants.
"I spent the last three seasons evaluating the many factors involved in our performance as a team," Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said in a letter to fans. "As I watched this season unfold, I determined that it was time to make a change."

The move comes less than a year after Kelly was given full control over personnel decisions and as rumblings of reportedly unhappy players continued to pile up.
"As we move forward, the search for a new head coach will begin and will be led by myself, Don Smolenski and Howie Roseman," Lurie said. "To the extent that we are able, we will try to keep you informed as we go through this process."
Lurie will hold a press conference on Wednesday at noon.
And so the Chip Kelly era comes to a close.
