CHIP KELLY RETAINED BY UCLA THANKS TO BLOWOUT WIN OVER USC AND LINCOLN RILEY

[ad_1]

Oh my goodness. When UCLA lost 33-7 to lowly Cal on Saturday, it seemed that any of the goodwill Chip Kelly had built at UCLA through the win over USC had been squandered. He was back on the hot seat. He undermined confidence in the UCLA fan base. He and his program looked weak and inconsistent. It seemed the pendulum had swung back the other way. He saved his job, and then Chip Kelly reversed himself and did a complete 180. He appeared to be in major trouble once again.

Monday afternoon, the word came down: Chip will get one more season in Westwood.

It might not rate as a huge surprise, but at the very least, it seems like a 50-50 call, something which was far from likely. Chip Kelly’s fate was up in the air, but now he’s safe for one more year. Chip Kelly will lead UCLA into the Big Ten in 2024, per 247Sports.

Reaction was instant and lively, from UCLA fans and elsewhere in the Pac-12 world and throughout the college football community:

247 REPORT

LINCOLN RILEY SUCCEEDS

Lincoln Riley kept Chip Kelly at #UCLA.

He has achieved something at #USC after all!

UCLA PLAN FOILED!

WHEN CAL FANS ARE HAPPY

As a Cal fan, I think they need to give Chip more time. He only just turned 60, he’s still figuring out how to get it done, but I think he’s a smart guy and he’ll get there eventually. Patience is the order of the day.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

UCLA&M

Maybe UCLA fans should try the Texas A&M model and bully the AD into firing Chip Kelly

BRUIN PAIN

I don’t know how @UCLAFootball is ever going to recover from allowing Chip Kelly to coach this team in the Big 10. I don’t understand how @MartinJarmond hasn’t announced yet that the nightmare is over. I’m just… sad.
