How much you can accomplish in practice is about as good a way to measure a coach as there is. Kelly gets more done than anyone. He'll be successful.

So they were going to hire him because of his offense but didn't because of his offense?

Makes sense.

No, would make sense if you could read. They've been drooling over his philosphy, the way he builds and structures a program.

The concern about the offense is what held him up so much. Seeing similar styles thrive in San Fransisco, Seattle, and Washington put those concerns to rest and thus he got his shot.

We'll see how it holds up. He only had to deal with 2-3 teams a year that had equal or greater talent than him.

Eh, their skill talent was absolutely on par or better than 99% of the nation. Across the lines, however, they had no advantage and when they did play "even" teams they were wholistically outmanned. Almost every team they've lost to over the last couple of years dominated them at the point of attack. Those matchups weren't even.
