The Eagles were the team that hadn't - and still hasn't - won a championship since 1960. Lurie had bought the team in 1994, had come close to a Super Bowl so many times and never won it. He was the desperate one. Kelly was coming off back-to-back 10-win seasons. He was the football revolutionary, the genius, the guy who was changing the game, and if he didn't get what he wanted from the Eagles, he could walk out the door and get it from another NFL franchise or an elite college program.
