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

You can come talk to me whenever you want to come talk to me. But, we also have a pretty structured day where guys are in meetings. I don't just sit and walk around and say, ‘Hey, let me go grab him and let's sit down and let’s have a coffee together.’

I mean, it would go a long way to build some rapport with players if he did stuff like this. It definitely couldn't hurt.

I saw an NFLN special documentary on Belichick. People think he's just this robot but Belichick participates in team social functions, he actually goes out and gets to know players. I saw Randy Moss invite him to a costume party, which he and the coaching staff went to with their SOs.

So guys like Belichick are actually going that extra mile, even though he may appear not to be that kind of person to the media. He's winning partially because his players love him. They don't love him JUST because he wins.

Here's an article on the friendship between Moss and Belichick.
