How Kelly went from total domination of a franchise to being canned in one calendar year is one of this season’s most fascinating off-field stories.
In case you missed it, the minute Kelly started making personnel decisions he took a perfectly respectable 10-6 Eagles team and blew it up; dismissing long beloved stars like LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin, Trent Cole and Evan Mathis and trading his starting quarterback for a giant question mark.
Kelly’s shakeup of the roster was shocking; the gambles almost unthinkable at this level of football.
Most of his moves did not pan out and eventually Kelly totally lost the players thanks to an attitude that he was superior to them.
