Mike McCarthy: "Joe Philbin will succeed in Miami"
nick foles wishes he was as talented as ryan tannehill...foles is the definition of product of the system qb...must be nice for foles to have the use of the best oline in football...to prop him up
The Run and Shoot called.Not to mention one of the best running backs in the league and a head coach who is revolutionizing offensive football.

In all the noise, I think this.I mean he has in a way succeeded. Got us what looks like a franchise qb. Inherited a 6-10 team took them to 7-9 then a 7-9 to 8-8 with an awful line in which he had no control over. 3rd year is the real test and I think the telling tale but so far most signs look towards success.

They say he's full of ****.

His third year will tell the tale.
I think three years is reasonable to determine a HC's
Ability to do the job at that point in his career.
I'm not sure if you're comparing Kelly's offense to the Run and Shoot or suggesting the RnS was supposed to "revolutionize offensive football" and deriding it. Kelly's system isn't anything like the Run and Shoot. It runs the ball better and uses motion and timing much better than a 2 minute drill, which is essentially what the RnS is with 4 wideouts, see the K-gun in Buffalo. And if you are suggesting the RnS didn't revolutionize offensive football you're mistaken there as well. More teams run no huddles, 4 wideout sets (or 3 WR and Jimmy Graham), emphasis on the passing game, using it to set up the run. See the success of Buffalo, New Orleans, Denver, Indianapolis, et al.
You can go ahead and say Kelly's system is a fad, but if you look closer you'll see it does a whole lot of traditional things, running between tackles, getting ball carriers in space, same passing routes as ever, but sets it all up with motion and speed forcing the defense to make mistakes even after they have the personnel on the field they want. It's smart and simple, that's an easy sell.
