Dawn stley and Kylie Kelce Share a love for Philadelphia’s sports. So, when Kelce asked the legendary main coach if he would be interested in coaching a Philly WNBA expansion team, he may not have expected a fast “no”.
“You know why? I would prefer to own,” said Staley, 55, on Thursday, June 19, episode of Kelce’s “I will not lie“Podcast.” I think there is much more in the property. I know a lot of people think training is my best attribute. And I think I’m a pretty good coach. But when I am the owner, I probably can touch more people. “”
Staley was born and raised in Philadelphia and often shows his love for eagles with his clothes on the sidelines. Kylie, 33, is Married to the old Eagles Center Jason Kelce And it is from the suburbs of Philly.
He welcomed the idea of Story by possessing a Philadelphia expansion team and even took another step.
“We do.
The WNBA has enjoyed a meteoric increase over the last half decade, giving rise to three new expansion franchises with a quarter probably on the way. The Golden State Valkyries debuted earlier this year, and the Toronto Tempo and Portland Wnba Club are on the roof in 2026. Although the league has not formally announced which city will get the next expansion team, it is believed that Cleveland is a strong favorite.
With the rapid growth of the league, Kylie could forgive -to show some impatience to bring the W to his hometown.
“No matter how passionate we are and so much impulse as women’s sports, boys, come,” he said.
There has been a lot of talks about Philadelphia that also won a team, and although Staley would host it, he warned that the calendar is important, and if the city’s NBA team could start winning, he would help.
“The Sixers have to do it and I think it will be welcoming,” said Staley. “Time is key. When the time is correct, it will be for a long time.”
Philadelphia fans have an unforgivable reputation, dating back to 1968, when Eagles fans frustrated Santa Claus fans during the appearance of Saint Nick in the field, as the team ran into a 2-12 season.
“If you are forced to Philadelphians, it gives us room to criticize it,” said Staley. “If it doesn’t start well, give Philly Room to Boo Santa Claus.”
