UCLA shouldn't keep Chip Kelly just because he beat USC
LA TimesUCLA coach Chip Kelly, left, congratulates Kazmeir Allen after the running back made a touchdown catch against USC in the first half of a 62-33 win Saturday. When asked whether he thought this win saved his job, Kelly said simply, “I don’t know… I’m not in charge of that.” When asked whether he took any personal satisfaction from this win, Kelly said, “I always take personal satisfaction in every win… you look at the enthusiasm and the energy and juice this team has, they are a lot of fun to be around.” The bet is, UCLA officials had so much fun Saturday that they’re going to make sure Kelly sticks around. And he certainly must know that while Kelly is still coach, next year won’t particularly excite Bruins fans especially considering the identity of their first three visitors. While it would certainly feel odd to consider parting ways with a UCLA football coach after he beat USC, there’s never quite been a pushover Trojans team like this one.
