UCLA football players are demanding that a “third-party health official” be on hand for all football activities to see that protocols for COVID-19 are followed, saying they don't trust coach Chip Kelly’s program to act in their best interest

Notre Dame players should probably request the same thing because their health and safety expert Brian Kelly is still there.

Where has Chip Kelly’s mind been to lose trust in the players?

Chip should just consider himself lucky they're not bringing up his personnel decisions from Philly.

Ever since he left Oregon, all Chip's players have hated him.

At this point, you have to believe it's him.

So they cant handle their own health issues? Why would you even be on the team if this was necessary? Just quit.

I don't blame them for asking for it. There should always be a 3rd party professional on hand. We've watched stupidity by trainers before.

It's usually the first thing programs do in changing protocols when a player dies. There's nothing weird.

Kelly's players have been highly critical of him. 63 left the program during his first two years.

Kelly also responded to criticism of UCLA's coaching with:

I could do it:

“You’re positive for the Rona, but you have a nearly zero percent chance of dying, or even getting seriously ill, so get the frick back out there and play”

Two things:

1) Chip Kelly is an a-hole
2) There are people like DJ Durkin in this world.

So while we don’t know details here, I’m willing to give the players the benefit of the doubt if they feel like they need to look out for their own safety.

If they don’t like it they can quit!
