Quote:I'm just trying to figure out why the lovefest when he was a scumbag not too long ago, and you don't know if we did or didn't try and get him. And what exactly did he turn out to not be guilty of?

 

The lovefest is because you are seeing how great of a head coach that he is. He has an ability to adapt to personnel unlike most other head coaches in this league and quickly identify/ apply specific strengths of players to mold scheme around them. He's 8-5 with less of a roster than they were going 4-12 with in recent seasons. No Maclin, and a game manager in Foles. 

 

If the Jags made an effort to get him, we'd have heard something via todays age of social media. 

 

Kelly was #2 on my Jags coach wish list (Bradley #6), I thought we had no chance to get him when he said he was staying at Oregon, then when they said he abruptly changed his mind and was going pro to the Eagles, I was angry and thought he was just doing that to "get outta dodge" so to speak before the hell was to pay. I thought if true that it was a scumbag move because I thought he was just waiting until the letters of intent by the recruits were already accepted before he bolted, but that turned out to not be the case.
