Recent Super Bowl 50 champion and Denver Broncos guard Evan Mathis spilled the beans about his time with Kelly. And believe it or not, it wasn’t a glowing recollection of his time with Kelly.
Two of the main issues that concerned me were: 1. A never-evolving, vanilla offense that forced our own defense to play higher than normal play counts. 2. His impatience with certain personality types even when they were blue-chip talents.
In a nutshell, that is why Kelly was fired. He would not change the offensive plays to give the defense time to rest and he jettisoned the star players.
