McGovern is, too. You'd think that, if you were looking for the truest insight into Kelly's methods, you'd go right to the men who coach alongside him every day. They'd know him best. Except here's McGovern, 52 years old, with a white goatee and an accent that's part North Jersey and part New England, a coach who's seen a lot in football, and he keeps seeing new things with Kelly. He had 27 years of college coaching experience before Kelly hired him in 2013. His tie to Kelly was Jerry Azzinaro, the Eagles' defensive-line coach and assistant head coach, who had worked with McGovern at UMass and Boston College and with Kelly at Oregon. McGovern knew of Kelly, but he'd never worked with or under him before. Still, this was an NFL coaching job, and he wasn't about to say no to an NFL coaching job.
