Chip Kelly: There is something there if the ex-players keep saying something

What do you guys think it is? I just heard sal palentino of ESPN say hes never seen a head coach, including the coaches from the past generations who wed think would have a harder time connecting with todays generation/culture, have such a disconnect and have so many ex players bash him with the same sentiments.
I think there is something there, and part of it stems from KEllys coaching style. These are grown men and have to be treated like so. You have to earn their respect, not the other way around. I see it as kinda paternalistic, and especially considering the african american perspective and history, I see how they could see shades of race issues in this.

I don't think he is racist...
But smoke usually equals fire. Something is disconnected when it comes to Kelly and SOME of his former players.

the players earn more than the coach and hes a college coach.
Thats how it goes in professional sports.
Players hint at it all the time. Look at what the players say about a guy like Brad Stevens for example

Hes a QB, and those guys tend to be puppets. They never speak their minds.

I don't think he's a racist at all and that one or two guys idiotic comments have smeared his image while one or two others are just piggybacking onto that stupidity. But hey, just my opinion. If Chip was a racist how could he even stand to be a football coach? This topic needs to die soon.

Its more than that. Its getting to know the players. Many players have hinted at him being aloof and stand offish. Did any of these players say this about Andy Reid? Buddy Ryans

They arent black so many they didnt experience those black players perspectives. That doesnt devalue the other players sentiments.

I dont think he is racist either, but I think what you said is what the issue is. Have we ever had another head coach been railed by ex players for these issues? Even some of the "old school" coaches never got this.

There are racist in every walk of life that smile and laugh with us. $ and power trump his feelings at the end of the day

thats a problem, IMO, only because other head coaches find a way to do it.
