We learned something new about Eagles coach Chip Kelly’s private life last week when Kent Babb of the Washington Post found that Kelly had been married for seven years before rising to the highest levels of his profession.
There wasn’t much to glean about Kelly’s work with the Eagles by this piece of information, which was also true of previous attempts to contact members of Kelly’s inner circle that didn’t sit well with Kelly. Before the revelation about his marital past, Kelly said he doesn’t think friends or family “should be bothered or have to answer questions about me” and used a pop culture reference that shows he’s not all football all the time to explain why he didn’t think there was anything unusual about that approach.
