UCLA doesn’t plan on firing football coach Chip Kelly.
In response to a report from FootballScoop that the Bruins might consider other options and move on from Kelly, Martin Jarmond tweeted late Thursday afternoon, “Not true. Very disappointing @FootballScoop, how about you call me next time. Go Bruins!” (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

When I saw the tweet from FootballScoop about the Bruins potentially moving on from Kelly, I was a bit surprised.
Despite the fact that there has certainly been some choppy water during his tenure with the Bruins, the program is clearly trending up.

When things are finally looking up, you don’t all of a sudden cut the coach loose. UCLA has a game Saturday against Stanford, and enters the matchup 3-3.
With a win, the Bruins will finish the season above .500, first since the 2015 season. Again, it’s clear that things are trending up for UCLA.

The Bruins have to keep Kelly, and the man responsible for making that decision clearly agrees.
