This is the college HC pitfall. In college, a stellar head coach can have near god status for his players. He can improve scholarships, he can nearly control their lives. In the NFL, it's a job. You don't mess with their health, their pay, or the lifestyle. Kelly stated frequently that he didn't focus on players health, he certainly tried to control their lifestyle, and just didn't understand the pay system very well, imo.
His ego is too high for him to make another run at the NFL, and I don't think he will be back. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see him sit out next year then cherry pick a college team to go to.
