Surprising? Kind of.
I think it would be surprising that he truly misses the relationships and connections but I don't think it's surprising that he says it. Few of Brian Kelly's actions suggest he is a genuine relationship builder. But I am sure that his ego would want to portray this image of him being a connector. He even referenced as much, "[the reach out from past players] solidified in his mind that he made a difference."
As we all know, he's very much a polished politician. But I think he's pretty transactional.
