Quote:I'm not going to read through a dozen pages of comments, so apologies if any of this is redundant. I get why they're interviewing him. Coughlin coached against this guy for a couple of seasons, and Kelly had the better of him at the time. Tom knows the style of offense he runs, and actually likes his style of play according to this article.

I think Kelly's desire to run the ball, and his pro style version of the read option might actually be beneficial to Bortles.


It's interesting for sure. He'd be an instant upgrade over Hackett. However, the up tempo play calling that is intended to wear out defenses has a tendency to put a lot of strain on the defensive side of the ball. It would be interesting to see how willing he would be to changing things up a bit.


At the end of the day, if the players don't execute the play calling precisely, nothing works. Doesn't matter how brilliant the coach is. They need to fix this Bortles thing and upgrade the running game in the draft if Kelly is the hire.
