Belicheat defends Kelly, says a lot of ex-Eagles not 'doing too much'

(Actually they have not been doing enough cheating)...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick put his public support behind former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, as well as the overall coaching profession, early Thursday morning. The Eagles fired Kelly on Tuesday after three seasons.

I'd say it's really disappointing. I mean, Chip Kelly, to me, is a really good football coach. He does a great job and he's done a great job with that team," Belichick said in an expansive news conference. "Pretty much everyone is on a one-year contract in this league. I don't know how you build a program in one year. ... Chip is a great coach. He'll end up somewhere and will do a great job there."

Also, as it relates to Kelly's personnel acumen, which had come under scrutiny, Belichick added, "I'd say a lot of the players that were on the Eagles, that are no longer on the Eagles, aren't really doing too much for anybody else either."

The connection between Belichick and Kelly has been well documented, including their teams holding joint practices in the preseason.

Belichick's remarks came when he was asked how much he follows coaching movement at this time of year. He said it leads him to appreciate what he has in New England, as he called it "the best situation in the league."
