You've honestly completely lost me. What you've said above makes zero sense. Sounds like grasping at straws.

It's not grasping at straws.
Again, I said the scheme is a risk. He's a boom/bust guy who could either be really successful or be an absolute nightmare. But I also think he's incredibly bright and knows he can't do things the same, nor will he try.
But as a head coach... he's known to be incredibly organized, runs a terrific practice, and is incredible at disciplining players to play within the system. His up tempo approach only works because it's practically run like a machine. Let's say he delegated the entire offense to his OC (We know he won't... just pretend here). If he did that, he could still potentially be a terrific head coach.
So again... I always liked Kelly because I like coaches who are going to get the most out of their players. And Kelly will do that. The risk is in the scheme, and we just don't know what he's going to do here. Hence, boom/bust.
