The coach can't help himself. He can be emotional. Impulsive. Petty. "He’s always gonna be feisty," says left tackle Jordan Mailata.

Having played each other on this stage just two seasons ago, there is plenty of familiarity between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. Even more so when you consider former Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid is now going for a three-peat with the Chiefs.

Lurie, of course, didn’t mention why Reid will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer — because the Eagles fired him after a 4-12 season in 2012 when they hired Kelly — who eventually was fired because he didn’t adhere to the culture. “Emotional intelligence,” Lurie called it then.

There isn't a head coach in Philadelphia Eagles history that had the cultural impact of Andy Reid or the ability to bring home a title like Doug Pederson. There hasn't been a motivator like Dick Vermeil either.

Last season's collapse and the frustrating start to this one all went toward bringing the Eagles back to the Super Bowl.
