Kelly IS trying to get fired apparently. Also a comment on the o-line, IMHO it is the most crucial part of a team. A good one keeps the defense off the field and gets the QB and RBs to make first downs and TDs. It needs a lot of attention in recruiting and coaching. Which is sorely lacking.
Regarding our offensive line: writing was on the wall for disappointment when line coach Justin Frye moved on to Ohio State back in 2022. He is sorely missed.
That is exactly how I feel about Chip. A decent run game coordinator. No clue about the passing game. Too stubborn/arrogant to hire a passing game coordinator.
In two weeks we have the Extremely Stoppable Force versus the Incredibly Movable Object, with both teams having special teams that I would safely describe as basura.
It's nice to have a visitor from the "enemy camp" stop by -especially when we can commiserate over mutual stink bomb football situations. Of course, I expect that you all will be climbing out of your yawning abyss far sooner than we will. It's my suspicion that Jarmond -- as good of an AD as he is -- will retain The Wood Chipper so as to not complicate our entrance into the "BO".
Of course, if one does an analysis on the crowds being drawn now at the RB versus what the excitement and fan appeal would be if we flushed that turd bomb and got a coach that *actually* recruited gold-plated guys like you all do and put in place coaches that would mend the gaping holes Dimitri mentions, well..
..anyway, back to wandering in the desert for a few more years.
Don't be a stranger! We may snarl a lot but we really do not bite!
Always on top of things, Henry! I used to do that back in the 70s and 80s when John McKay and John Robinson were coaching. I'd bet a C note on the Toe Jams such that winning the wager would mollify my rage. In those days, a win would have me doling out the Jacksons with alacrity. Of course, the only times I had to do that were when McKay lost the last one before he departed (1975) and 1980 and 1982. (I changed jobs in 1983.)
The Least Pathetic? OR Last one with the ball? In front of the Goal Posts, and whose Kicker doesn't pull his Ham Sting? Center Miss snaps, holder flubs the set?

Why wouldn't you if you were him ? Getting a handsome pay for being fired ? Only in the land of the brave, home of the free and the con artist.

Add on hiring a real special teams coordinator!
You think you got problems?
USC FAN here
I am for benching USC Defense, and either return the ensuing Kick off or start from the 20?
Can you give a Z in Markings or ratings?

That game is gonna rule.
LMFAO

Wow That was almost a Steven Colbert worthy Rant! Before Meanwhile
CONGRATS!
I write this speaking from the heart, I said the day that Chip Kelly was hired, that UCLA would have problems
Why you ask?
Anybody who bails on his team, Cincinnati. After promising some great recruits, continuity, is a flawed coach.
Im a 49ers fan, so you know I was non to pleased when he arrived in San Fran.
Anywho, what happens to the Bruins in the future , time will tell. Best of Luck for both the Bruins and Trojans, both are going to need it
My money is on USC.
*chortle*

Mark, UCLA'S offense is trash, USC's defense is trash. Who wins the crosstown showdown?
The Least Pathetic? OR Last one with the ball? In front of the Goal Posts, and whose Kicker doesn't pull his Ham Sting? Center Miss snaps, holder flubs the set?
Take your pick?
Chip Kelly sucks!
May the Least Pathetic Win?
