I found this article by Bob Ford of philly.com on why Kelly was fired, which gives the real reason though it requires reading between the lines a bit:
"The next coach might be many different things, according to Lurie. He could be another college coach, or an NFL coach with head coaching experience, or maybe an up-and-coming coordinator or position coach. He could specialize in either offense or defense, might be young, or he might be more veteran. The field is open. One thing the next guy is going to do, however, and you can bet every dollar on it, is
he's going to say hello to people in the hallway. Kelly failed as a coach, but he might still have his job if he cared a little more about the interpersonal side of things. 'We're looking for someone who interacts very well and communicates clearly with everybody he works with and comes in touch with,' Lurie said.
'You've [also] got to open your heart to players and everybody you want to achieve peak performance. I would call it a style of leadership that values information from all the resources provided, but at the same time values emotional intelligence.'"

Translation: Kelly didn't go along with the unwritten rules of the NFL's Caste System. Rosters, locker rooms, style of play, and coaching style must always acknowledge that the league is a "black thing." Coaches now must openly love their players. Not nodding to one in a hallway is an egregious mistake, one that the super-fragile psyche of blacks can't take. Blacks are to be coddled, hugged and sometimes even kissed on the sideline after a big play, while stupid plays and poor fundamentals are often ignored or winked at. Vince Lombardi, Don Shula, Chuck Noll, Paul Brown and a slew of other very successful head coaches would not be allowed to coach today unless they altered their personality to be more like that of Bill Cowher, Steve Mariuchi, Dick Vermeil, Pete Carroll and the rest.
Kelly also wanted his players to work hard and play fast, which is no longer possible in the NFL, and probably more difficult every year to implement at the college level. I found this quote today from CB Brandon Boykin, who was traded from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh earlier this season: "[Mike] Tomlin treats players like professionals and
grown men." Boykin added that Kelly didn't respect many of the Eagles, and he wasn't surprised by his former coach's dismissal with one game left in the season Tuesday. "I think the players realized that a long time ago. Now the world knows. You can't trick players or pretend to be someone you're not if the results aren't there. The guys who were
man enough to make a difference and do something about it were axed or Kelly acted like there were sour grapes or whatever. We were telling the truth, and people see that now.
We are grown men, and he overlooked that aspect of it. He acted like he was better and smarter than people at his level, and that's where the respect was lost."
In this upside-down society, treating blacks like "grown men" means treating them like overgrown boys, and often overlooking their criminal acts off the field. Kelly did try to treat his players like men, and most couldn't handle it. There hasn't been a single White Eagles player who's criticized Kelly, and after he was fired I saw video of Sam Bradford and Zach Ertz both defending him. Coaches who don't follow the rules of pandering, or who don't realize the NFL is for the most part a jobs program to appease blacks and emasculate Whites, won't last long.
