Things are not going well for Chip Kelly. We feel terrible about it.
After unsuccessfully trying to destroy the Eagles and 49ers, Chip Kelly took some time off from coaching to try his hand as a football analyst with ESPN. Well, he's back coaching and at least one person is very upset about it.
Kelly joined a struggling UCLA program, coming off back-to-back losing seasons under Jim Mora, with the hope of turning things around. They're off to a terrible start.
Kelly was 46-7 as the head coach at Oregon and his offense was second-to-none over those four seasons. The Ducks finished in the top five in each of his last three years, too, so I'm sure there was a tremendous amount of excitement in LA upon Kelly's arrival. Things have turned pretty quickly after a horrendous 0-3 start, with two losses coming at home.
So bad, in fact, that Michael Robinson, the father of UCLA freshman QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson took to Twitter to express his frustrations under the very appropriate handle of @DoriansDAD.
I know people probably came here for the Kelly hate, since his run in Philadelphia was so weird, but I think people need to consider that Kelly is rebuilding a program that has been barely relevant in the past 20 years and has tremendous competition with recruiting powerhouse USC right in its backyard.

Kelly is off to a terrible start, for sure, and it's kinda funny that the QB's dad took to Twitter to rip him, but there could be a different story in a few years if Kelly can work his Oregon magic again.
