Wallyhorse Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 If you want to move it, no biggie, but I thought given who this is about it belonged here:Chip Kelly seems not to be trusted with the Pandemic at UCLA, players want an independent team of doctors overseeing the Bruins Football team. From the NBC Sports site this is linked to: Quote The issues Chip Kelly had with eroding player trust during his years in Philadelphia have followed him to Westwood. A group of 30 UCLA football players sent the school’s athletic administration a statement expressing a lack of faith in Kelly’s ability to keep them safe amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. Kelly, the Eagles’ head coach from 2013 through 2015, has been at UCLA since 2018. According to the L.A. Times, the players met Thursday night in a virtual team meeting and demanded that the school’s athletic administration furnish an independent, third-party medical official who will be available at all the team’s practices and football activities to guarantee that safety protocols are being followed. Some members of UCLA’s football team are scheduled to return to practice and participate in voluntary workouts on Monday, according to the paper. The letter also demanded that the players have a way to anonymously report violations without retribution. According to the paper, the letter written by the players said UCLA’s administration has "perpetually failed us” and "mismanaged injury cases.” The Times obtained a copy of the letter, which was signed by the players, including projected starting quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. It read in part: "These demands reflect our call for an environment in which we do not feel pressured to return to competition, and if we choose not to return, that our decision will be respected. If our demands are not met, we will refrain from booster events, recruiting events and all football-related promotional activities. The decision to return to training amidst a global pandemic has put us, the student-athletes, on the frontlines of a battle that we as a nation have not yet been able to win. We feel that as some of the first members of the community to attempt a return to normalcy, we must have assurances that allow us to make informed decisions and be protected regardless of our decision.” Kelly is 7-17 at UCLA. He was 2-14 in his one year with the 49ers, and 7-12 in his last 19 games with the Eagles. So he’s 16-43 in his last 59 games as a head coach.

Someone on here found one of my videos and posted it on the old board. I got ridiculed pretty hard, but guess what? I was right the whole time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochis_Calhoun Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Jesus the one thing I hoped the move to this board got rid of is the need of some posters to competitively hate Chip Kelly, I don't get it, the great roster he supposedly gutted went 12-20 the two years prior to his arrival, he had one bad season in 3, and 2 years after he left we won the Superbowl, so he didn't set the franchise back at all, yet this board feels the need to collectively piss it's pants every time a story about him comes out. Chip Kelly isn't even in the top 3 worst coaches this team has had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to split Chip Kelly in two: 1) Chip Kelly, the strange system, and ... 2) Chip Kelly, the control freak that wouldn't take any input from anybody. On (1), I still think his system was interesting. I'm not sure it was the genius system that everybody claimed it would be. This team seemed to be in a real damn hurry to run 3 plays to punt the ball back to the other team. Meanwhile, our defense was on the field for 50 minutes every game. If he put the right guys on the field it may have had a better chance, but I still don't think that was ever going to work in the NFL. When you're a college team playing terrible teams most games you can pretty much run them over with that system, but it wasn't happening here. On (2), this is why he was fired. From this perspective he may have been the worst hire in team history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
