Can't wait to see the huge sanctions the NCAA lays on Oregon. Must be pretty bad since Kelly jumped ship AFTER saying he would stay at Oregon.

 

[BigBucs]

He will be back in college in 3 years, tops.

 

[Maynard]

who knows how he will do, but i dont expect him to do anything great in the NFL

 

[Obst]

Get ready for Dixon time

That's really surprising, I got out of the shower and everyone here was going crazy haha....Excited for the move and to see how the rest of the off-season goes.

Saw a tweet that he was in some kids living room recruiting 2 days ago....... :shotsfired:

yeah he was...2 days ago recruiting some kid and now he is in the NFL

im curious to see if he gets any kind of suspension for his NCAA sanctions. Remember that when Jim Tressel got suspended by the NCAA, the NFL upheld his suspension in the NFL when he took the job in Indy....the NFL would have to suspend Kelly too or look like total retards

played the $$$ game.........
ok.

 

[Aso]

Definitely excited to watch the Eagles next season.

Did Pete Carroll get suspended by the NFL after jumping from USC to avoid sanctions?

Seems like we can agree on something here. I am not a fan of college coaches heading to the pros, it rarely works out and ends up in a lack of respect and discipline from the roster to the coach. For a team that didn't seem to have much discipline, that's not a good sign for Kelly to start.

He should, and so should they. I wonder if the NCAA schools will start putting a clause in coaches' contracts, where they are "locked in" for a certain amount of seasons after signing an extension with them. They have to do something, because now NCAA coaches are going to be dragging their schools across the coals every off-season to get more money out of them.

Unless he's going to seriously alter is scheme, it won't. That fast pace spread option won't work long term

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

i think the game is changing in comparison to NFL 10 years ago.
there is so much speed in todays game, its ridiculous. who knows........maybe this is where the game going?? :dunno:

there is a chance that this his scheme can work. The Pistol formation worked for 7 weeks for the Redskins, it worked for the Seahawks for a few weeks and even the 49ers.
anything is possible at this point.

But it's not primarily what either team runs on offense. A team that runs primarily a spread offense in the NFL is not going to be successful. If Kelly can adapt to that, great, I think he can. But him staying in the NFL is going to be predicated on being able to relate to an NFL locker room and being able to maintain discipline, and I don't think that's going to happen.

Not to mention being able to get the right guy. Let's not forget that Washington does have a superstar in RG3 to run that offense. Actually all of the teams that run that type of offense have guys who are extremely talented. A great deal of success and thus longevity for an NFL coach is about getting a QB. I don't think Foles is the type of guy that can run his offense.

 

[Glenbino]

I don't think it's the type of players to run the offense as much as its going to be hard for him to do the same things with a 55 man roster that he was able to do in college.

I still think the guy is a genius though and he is capable of designing and running an NFL offense. As long as his say in personnel is limited I think he's the best coach the Eagles could have hired at this time.
