Something to be thought about here is that, almost by default, it won't be "Kelly's Offense" if he comes here. Sure, he may bring in a WR Coach or something like that, but Marrone has already hired his OL Coach, his RB Coach, retained Hackett and will most likely be sitting in on the Offensive Gameplan meetings due to his familiarity with the O Line anyway.

 

Kelly was the voice in the room at both Philadelphia and San Francisco, not to mention Oregon. As OC, that's not the case any more. He'll get feedback from the other people in the room and while he might swing more weight than a position coach, I would like to think that a teamwork factor would eliminate the "predictabilities" in his Offensive plans. 

 

I think the man has talent as a football mind, but he needs to not be the biggest fish in the pond. I think he'd be a good addition here.
