Kelly is not the exactly the same as Spurrier but there a lots of similarities.

Both are/were arrogant and simply believe they are/were just smarter than everyone in the room (in Spurrier's case, it was more that he believed he knew football better than everyone else).

The big difference between them is that CK works hard and pays attention to details. That was simply not Spurrier's style and, ultimately, why he failed in the NFL.

In my mind, the jury is still out on CK. He's got a two years of winning records in the NFL and many aspects of his offense are being incorporated around the league. At the same time, his whole "we will run you ragged" approach is really overplayed. Other teams run "faster" offenses and he still has yet to show he can grind out wins when grinding needs be done. I am betting his whole "we practice, eat, and train differently" will also wear on players and is simply not a long term practicality. It's fine for college kids, but pros aren't 21 any more. Once they have been in the league for a few years, if they want to stay, they realize its a business and practicing their craft and perfecting their technique requires more than gimmicky practice routines.

Right now, CK's approach is still novel and has buy-in b/c of some instant success. Of course, that success was achieved with a couple of very talented playmakers in DJax and Shady and a very good offense line (Before last year, and ever since they signed Peters, the Eagles O-Line was probably the best in the division. Last year, however, they began to show some age). So, let's see how he does when he trots out the Ducks' offense with the same players he had in college (and Riley Cooper) and an O-Line that is no-longer elite.

I have been predicting the end of the Eagles for several years now and each time I am convinced they are, finally, headed back to irrelevance (you know, like us), they reemerge and win tons of games. So, while I am hopeful that Philly will crash and burn like the POS's they are, I will be convinced of it when they have had a two or three double digit loss seasons in a row. Hopefully, that starts soon.
