They have one game remaining, Sunday against the New York Giants. Christian Kirksey Youth Jersey Kelly wished the Eagles well moving forward. "My players mean the world to me," he said. "I will miss them very much, and I will be rooting for them to achieve their dreams. Life is all about responding to challenges and seizing opportunities."

He said he evaluated the team's record as well as its "trajectory" and concluded that an immediate change was needed. A year ago, he gave Kelly full control over personnel decisions.
