“I Don’t Have the Time”: Jason Kelce Shuts Down Taking Up Eagles Coaching Role

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has ruled out taking on a coaching role with his former team's offensive line. Speaking on SPORTSRADIO 94WIP, Kelce explained that he lacks the time required for the demanding job and noted there are more qualified and experienced coaches available. Kelce's comments come amid a challenging start to the 2026 season for Philadelphia's offensive line under new coach Chris Kuper.

Kelce, who retired after 13 seasons and a Super Bowl victory with the Eagles, noted his busy schedule prevents him from committing to coaching. Since his retirement, he serves as an analyst on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown and co-hosts the New Heights podcast alongside his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. He also emphasized his desire to prioritize time with his growing family.
