Father of UCLA QB rips ex-49ers coach Chip Kelly for ‘lousy coaching'

Share

Chip Kelly's tenure as UCLA head coach has started much like his one year with the 49ers went: lots of losses.

Kelly and UCLA are 0-3 and things are already getting heated.

Michael Robinson, the father of UCLA's starting QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, lit into Kelly on Saturday following the Bruins' 38-14 loss to Fresno State.

In three games, UCLA has scored just 52 points while allowing 113 points. Under the tutelage of Kelly, Thompson-Robinson has completed 41 of 75 passes for 522 yards and two touchdowns. He's also thrown two interceptions.

The 49ers hired Kelly prior to the 2016 season and gave him a four-year, $26 million contract. But after the 49ers went 2-14, Kelly was fired as the head coach. He spent the 2017 season as a TV analyst before taking the UCLA job earlier this year.
