Tomey-esque Fipp likely leaving Eagles staff
David Fipp was a walk-on safety from San Diego who ultimately became a starter at Arizona in 1996-97, one of those “glue guys” who helped to make Dick Tomey’s Arizona career successful. Fipp has since coached at Holy Cross, Cal Poly, Nevada, San Jose State, and in the NFL with the 49ers, Dolphins and now, Eagles. Unfortunately, he is likely to be part of the housecleaning in the Chip Kelly firing. I’ve always thought Fipp would be a terrific college head coach: he has a Tomey-type personality and approach.
