According to sources Brian Kelly has interviewed for the Philadelphia Eagles Head Coaching job. Kelly said earlier in the week that leaving Notre Dame was “not an option I don’t even think about it.” Apparently it is an option, Kelly and Eagles officials will meet again after Kelly returns from vacation.
Brian Kelly has won at every stop on his coaching journey, along the way every job has been his “Dream Job”. Grand Valley State, Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, all have been his so called “Dream Job”. Brian Kelly is never happy being in one place to long, always looking for a bigger job to fill his ego. Kelly is 81-33 as a D1 head coach, nothing to be ashamed of, he has also taken his three teams to eight bowl games although he only coached in six of them.
The NFL is a completely different animal compared to college football. For starters the way you treat players is completely different than college football. Kelly is a hot head, the fact his face turns pink then red then purple is evidence of that, the man is a gobstopper during games. NFL players won’t respect actions like that. Another thing Kelly likes to do is get in the face of his quarterbacks and swear at them, just ask Tony Pike from Cincinnati. No NFL quarterback will tolerate that, remember Tom Brady and Bill O’Brien going at it? O’Brien was ridiculed in the media the week after. Kelly will have to turn it down.
The fact he is interviewing for the Philadelphia job is amazing. That team can not win or let alone play as a team, not you want to implement a head coach who can’t win the big game. (0-3 BCS Games) Isn’t that what you fired Andy Reid for?
Brian Kelly will likely take the Eagles job, Notre Dame will be left scrambling.
