"I have been asked by everybody in the NFC East," Aliotti, now retired, told The Oregonian on Monday. "The Giants asked me to come back when Chip got the first job. I didn't feel right doing that. Some teams have called when they're getting ready to play the Eagles and they call and have certain questions on the thing. Unless I know the guy and he's a good friend, I don't get involved with that."
It's an incredible bit of loyalty displayed by Aliotti, a 60-year-old who could have easily cashed in on other teams' desperation surrounding Kelly and his game-changing offense. It also shows how much of an unknown Kelly truly was during that first NFL season.
