Ugh, this offseason is already dragging on. Dammit, I need some Eagles football.
Flyers Hockey Jan 19.
screw the nhl they did this #### one too many times.
I dont get Kelly from ND either, where did he come from?
I'll come back to the NHL but I'm going to be very bitter about it. But I digress. Don't understand Kelly at all. I liked Chip b/c he brought a revolutionary offense with success behind him. This not so much with Brian. I was willing to gamble on Chip's system without any NFL background but not Brian. I'll be upset if he gets the nod.
I can at least understand Lovie. Wouldn't love the hire but most of the best hires I don't seem to love. But assuming he can bring Marinelli or someone who along with him can spearhead the defense and hopefully he learned from his failures from an offensive standpoint and get the right guy.
Brian Kelly has had good success on every team he has coached. He seems to be a good all around coach as he is not an devoted to just one side of the ball. Both his offense and defense improved every year. I like him more than chip Kelly. Not trying to say he's a perfect hire, but I would rather have him than most of these others being looked at. I still really like bradley from sea and would take him over kelly
Yea, Brian Kelly makes more sense than Chip Kelly to me. He did a lot more with less at every place he's been to. ND is not some top recruit class that overpowered everyone to the Champ game.
If it wasn't for the name, they might as well be TCU or Boise State. Some talent and great coaching to get them to that point. It's just that Alabama has NFL caliber recruits at every position. Chip Kelly has the benefit of being the top program in the NorthWest right now with a highly specialized offense. He can recruit athletes and tell them they will score a lot of TDs in their college career. May not translate to the pros though. With that said, I'd rather a guy that's been in the NFL and knows how the day to day routine goes.
According to rivals, in the last 5 years starting with last year's class ND has had the #20, #10, #14, #21, and #2 recruiting class. They might not be Alabama consistently in the top 2-3 of recruiting but to think they didn't get talent is insane. In the same time frame, Oregon has been #16, #9, #13, #32, and #19.
Similarly according to ESPN, ND has been #9, #9, #21, #14, and #9. Oregon has been #18 ,#14 ,#22, not in top 25, not in top 25.
So this idea that Chip out recruits others is bogus along with the fact ND did it without talent. If anything, Chip gets out recruited but recruits for his system. So perhaps in the NFL, he could take a Josh Johnson or Darron Thomas and turn them into successful QB's? The point of Chip is that he has shown a system which is able to account for talent gaps. And while the Eagles have some talent, they aren't going to be confused with NE or GB anytime soon. Brian has shown to be a good coach but nothing I don't think you can't find in the NFL and I'll give him a pass for the BCS game since it was his first going against Saban but in order to win the SB, you need someone who is going to out coach the other coach and Chip has shown that.
when I heard they accepted an agreement made to them back in Dec or whatever. Hopefully once we get a coach and the SB is done things move quicker. Within 3 days from then we will hopefully get the word Vick is no longer an Eagle and we wish him well in his future endeavors.
I posted the same thing in the "Chip Kelly to Cleveland" thread. No one's reliable - they're all being used by either the agents or the teams. John Clayton was saying Lovie Smith was the Eagles top choice. I don't believe anything until the Eagles make an announcement.
BFeldmanCBS: BREAKING Brian Kelly will be staying at Notre Dame, a source just told CBS.
