Los Angeles Times UCLA beat writer Ben Bolch wrote about the situation for USC’s rivals and he makes it clear: Kelly is not an elite coach and it’s time for the Bruins to move on.
Martin Jarmond constantly talks about being elite. The word reflects the ideals of a UCLA athletic department that uses excellence as a baseline for everything it does. Then there’s what’s happening with Chip Kelly and the football program. Elite never enters the conversation. Elite is not going 15-25, a .375 winning percentage that is the worst in school history for any coach who did not hold an interim tag. Elite is not hoping to finish with a record above .500 for the first time in Year Four. Elite is not keeping a failed defensive coordinator, at $700,000 per year, because of loyalty to a friend. Elite is not losing three consecutive home games, failing to reward fans who show up before dawn for ESPN’s “College GameDay” because they’re desperate to support a winner. Elite is not hoping to make the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl. Elite is not touting how your team never gives up and intends to correct the same mistakes it makes week after week. Elite is not talking about having a really good Wednesday when Saturdays are all that matter in college football. Elite is not Chip Kelly.
alty should take his thermals and get layered up when he goes...
being called a retard by a toilet licking brune is a hardly a believable insult
keep 7-Chin Chip and his Homeless Bum DC....cmon, man, ucly aint getting Saban...and Mora already turned 'em down....again.
i would not say UCLA football is an elite program but they are "almost elite' program so that ain't nothing
I'm glad SOMEONE in the media is blasting Chip instead of washing his balls. All of the TV fucks still praise the guy, for some unknown reason(s).
No way is Chip back next year. Jarmond is the A.D., he has to pay the bills. Attendance is for shit right now, it'll be much worse if Chip returns as H.C.
This is some of Ben Bolch's best work. Another thing that's bs, is Azzinaro refusing to speak with the media, and Kelly letting him get away with it. Will be so glad when both are gone.
He’s telling the truth and doing his job.
Yet they will likely be favored against SC this year, barring a drastic change of fortunes for Dante's Inferno
Chip has worked hard to earn his dismissal. is it fair to blame aikman for this debacle? Chip should be fired but let’s hope ucla shows patience with him. At least until the Trojans get their crap together. Who killed ucla football? Toledo? Dorrell? Neu? The patient had suffered 100000 paper cuts by the time mora got there. I think Dorrell was critical in this malpractice.
