Chip Kelly Wants D-Coordinator with 'Shutout-Ability,' and More NFC East News

With Pat Shurmur reportedly on board to run the offense under Chip Kelly in Philadelphia, the new Eagles head coach is now mainly focused on finding a defensive coordinator. And while that search drags on, Kelly did make up an entirely new word on Monday to describe who he's looking for in a defensive coach.

From CSN Philly's Geoff Mosher:

"

"I'll give you a new word -- 'shutout-ability.' That would be the one overriding quality," Kelly said, half-joking. "And I have no idea how we can define that, but that's actually a pretty good word right there. I'm going to tell everybody, 'If you have shutout-ability, then I need to talk to you.'"

"

Kelly, in Mobile, Ala., for Senior Bowl practices, insists that there's no timetable in place to find that mysterious shutout-savvy d-coordinator. Todd Grantham was an early candidate but his name has since faded, and Giants linebackers coach Jim Herrmann pulled out over the weekend. 

Mosher adds that 49ers defensive backs coach Ed Donatell has emerged as a candidate, but we haven't heard a lot of names in addition to those.
