Excellent read. Props to you.

 

I thought it was really interesting. It was cool that he brought back Ball for a tryout with the Eagles.

 

Kelly is not impressing me in the pros.

 

I'm not sure his system will work, but you have to give it more than four games. It took UO a few years before his system was fully implemented and running on all cylinders.

 

...and of course Oregon had already been running a spread attack for years prior to Kelly arriving. I suspect the reason that CK brought in so many former Ducks and players (like Ball) from his past into the Eagles camp was to help the returning players get on board with the new philosophy.

His system is fine. It's the defense and lack of better offensive players that will be his downfall.

 

Part of his job is to adjust the system to fit the personnel that he has. If the system he is implementing doesn't work with the players he has, that's his fault.

 

Bulls-eye.
