The Facts:
The Eagles are still scouring the college football ranks to find their next head coach. The latest big name on the team’s radar is Brian Kelly. The Eagles are interested in the 51-year-old Notre Dame coach and have made overtures to Kelly, two NFL sources said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter are reporting the two sides actually met, and while Kelly is now out of the country, they will revisit talks (apparently in the near future). Kelly recently said that coaching the Fighting Irish was his dream job, and that “leaving is not an option.” But he didn’t close the door on making the jump to the NFL when he was asked on a separate occasion about the possibility last week. “For me to say I’ll never coach in the NFL -- I have no idea,” Kelly said on Friday. “I’m not trying to be evasive. It’s the truth of the matter. It’s all about timing. ..." The Eagles have also had several interviews with NFL coaches and will have several more starting with Thursday’s meeting with former Bears head coach Lovie Smith. Most of the Eagles’ confirmed interviews at the NFL level have been with coordinators.
