The Eagles have a head coaching vacancy, and all indications are the Giants will soon have one as well.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has already had his name floated in regards to both jobs in some corners. Nothing official or concrete, but Kelly's name is consistently speculated about, particularly when it comes to the Giants.

But his comments Wednesday at a press conference in advance of his team's Fiesta Bowl date with Ohio State on Jan. 1 suggest he would not be a fit for either franchise.

Kelly insisted he is no longer "curious" about how he would fare in the professional game, but did not come out and say he would never make the leap to the NFL. What he did say, though, is that he would want complete control over personnel decision if he were to make the jump.

"How would you give up control of all the things you have at Notre Dame to do that," Kelly said, according to ndinsider.com, "unless they gave you full autonomy and control of an organization? I don't think that's happening anytime soon for Brian Kelly.

"I handle the contracts. I negotiate the contracts. I recruit the players. So I'm the owner, the GM, I'm the football coach. Very rarely do you have those scenarios in the NFL. There's very few of them that control all those buckets, if you will, in the NFL. I control all those buckets here at Notre Dame. So if you're going to make that move to the NFL, you have to understand what you're getting into."

Obviously, the Eagles are not about to give any new coach full control. The ill-fated decision to give the fired Chip Kelly complete control is why they are in this situation to begin with. Howie Roseman is pretty clearly in charge now in Philly (again). Kelly did interview with the team in 2013, though.

As for the Giants: The expectation is general manager Jerry Reese will be retained, despite the fact the Giants' 6-9 record can be largely attributed to a lack of roster depth and talent brought on by poor draft classes. Moreover, the Giants believe in having two men hold the two positions, not one man filling both capacities. Giants team president and CEO John Mara is believed to think very highly of Kelly, however.

Kelly could always soften his stance. But he has a pretty good thing going for him in South Bend, and if he is truthful about not itching to coach in the NFL, he has no reason to change his mind.
