Chip Kelly Makes List of Top Up and Coming Coaches

+

from espn insider Chip Kelly, head coach, Philadelphia Eagles Only 49 years old, Kelly knows his offense. And while it probably will take him a year or so to process how the NFL game is played, he understands offensive football and how to exploit matchups. Coming from Oregon, he's in touch with the new mold of NFL player and has a good relationship with them. He's confident enough to think he'll succeed in the NFL, but he also understands that the QB of the future in Philadelphia may not even be on that roster yet. Kelly will have a system in place, but he's figured out that he needs the players to fit the system and not vice-versa. He'll go through some growing pains transitioning to a 3-4 D this season, but I expect him to have a bright future in Philadelphia.
