Chip Kelly is a proven success — yet it seems he’s constantly having to defend himself in the media. His coaching counterparts in the NFL are now true believers.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is a believer, telling CSN Philly that Kelly “has proven he knows what he’s doing.”
“I think the people in Philadelphia should be very excited about the changes that are coming,” Carroll said this week at the owners meetings. “Maybe they can’t see it — the vision is not clear to them. Chip knows what he’s doing. It’s going to be interesting to see.”
Carroll has a similar setup to Kelly in Seattle — making final decisions on all personnel matters, and says that his record proves he’s in a great position.
“His record and his history has proven that he knows what he’s doing and that he has his act together,” he said. “I know he’s really excited to have the opportunity to be in the position to mold the team. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that he’s not on it. He knows what he wants and what he needs. He’s proven that.”
