I always thought it was silly that so many people thought that his hurry up offense was some how innovative.

 

Coaches in the NFL have been using it for years, it's just that NFL coaches already know there is a limit to how long you can stay ahead of the defense enough to effectively run the hurry up.

 

NFL defenses can adjust on the fly and even with the smartest and most experienced QB on the field, there is a limit to their ability to adjust real time to counter the defense and keep the hurry up going.

 

Coaches like Kelly might be able to script well enough to keep college kids on their heels, but he's not going to be able to do that to a bunch of pros. His offense will just hurry itself right into the teeth of the defensive adjustments.
