Scathing but accurate column re Chip Kelly

Put me still in the corner of "I just cannot believe a Chip Kelly coached team can be this bad."

Yet Bill Plaschke pretty much nails it in this column. I mean 70 players have left the program???

At Oregon Kelly by all accounts was a "players coach"...I hope he can be successful but with a new AD the clock is always ticking more loudly on a losing football team and UCLA has plenty of alumni who could provide the money to buyout Kelly's contract in a heartbeat.

Re: Scathing but accurate column re Chip Kelly

Coaches are successful at one place and not another...we have seen that how many times? Different players and assistant coaches...all I know is I enjoyed Chip when he was at Oregon when Iived there.  He was creative and was way ahead of anyone else. Wished he would have won a National Championship with the Ducks but it was not meant to be. It was exciting football. No regrets.
