Chip Kelly speaks out on the recent incidents involving Oregon football players

Throughout the turmoil with the football team over the of the past few weeks, Chip Kelly has kept fairly silent. While we have been informed that some players have been kicked off the team, during allegations against the Ducks two biggest stars, we haven't heard too much. And that's led to a good deal of speculation from many sources.
In what seems to be a response to that speculation, Chip Kelly spoke out today (video of his press conference is after the jump). And in doing so, he reinforced why I am so glad that he's the head coach of the University of Oregon football team. This is the exact response that I wanted from him.
The first thing that came across during the press conference is that Chip Kelly has taken these matters very seriously. He made very clear that these types of incidents will not be tolerated, and that there will be consequences for actions.
He talked about how the culture they strive for is an every day process, and it's not a matter of simply responding to incidents as they arrive. Kelly stressed that the coaching staff is as proactive as they can be. From Kelly:
We talk about doing the right things every day. There's a right way to conduct yourself, and a wrong way to conduct yourself. And our players know that. But if they cross the line, they also know there's gonna be punishment for it.
I think that this attitude displayed itself in the work ethic of last season, and how the coaching staff conducted itself. The Ducks won the Pac-10 title because they did things the "right way." They worked hard and practiced hard. That was the culture of the team. That said, there were also set backs along the way. LeGarette Blount's famous meltdown was met with a quick decision. While some will talk as if Kelly's eight game suspension was weak in some way, as Kelly pointed out in his press conference today, Blount's punishment was eight times longer than what was required by the NCAA. On top of that, Kelly talked about how there were players held out of games because they didn't attend classes per team rules.
It seems like there are clear rules for the team, and Kelly will not hesitate to make a decision, when he has all the facts. It's very important that we consider this, as Kelly was very clear that there will not be a rush to judgement. In fact, Kelly did not talk to LaMichael James until last night.
To me, this is what I want to see from our head coach. I have no doubt that Kelly will not tolerate these types of incidents, and will bring down the hammer when necessary. But it's also about doing what is just, and to improve the character of the men on the team.
While others are flipping out about the lawlessness of the football team, I'm happy with Kelly's response so far. He's responded to those situations where he has the information, and is withholding judgment on those which requires it. This is exactly what should be happening.
Now, that's not to say that Kelly's job is finished. He may have some very tough decisions to make coming up. But if this press conference showed us anything, it's that he's ready to stick to his guns, and hold his players to the program rules.
So, once again, we wait, and trust that Kelly will do right by his players, the university, and the community. And I'm confident he'll do just that.
A few more notes on the press conference:
- Kelly seemed totally unconcerned about the status of Jeremiah Masoli, and would not even refer to his situation as an incident.
- It sounds like Kelly will not be imposing any punishments on LaMichael James at this time, at least until his legal situation is finalized. Also, James cannot attend class "right now," and there is no word on his eligibility at this time.

Axemen23 Bullet Point Time
1) Chip Kelly is the man when it comes to dealing with shit like this. He stood strong, came in and said effectively “This is what we do, this is what we hold our players to, and those of you that don’t like it or don’t think it works, well Fuck You.”
2) He isn’t gonna make any decisions until timing forces him too. If anything comes out about Masoli (and for the record i would love to be dead wrong about that), LMJ won’t be dealt with till near spring training, and same for beard
3) He takes character extremely seriously on the recruiting trail. This is why we will never see any of the internal stuff like at USC while we are under Chip Kelly’s rule
4)Chip Kelly doing the Stanky Leg would be the best thing ever.

This is the meat of his comments
1. unknown parole officer dad of unknown friend says he will be “most likely arrested tonight” (UOSD mentions being skeptical)
2. UOSD talks to unknown friend at SAE house (this sounds familiar) who says that ESPN’s Shelley Smith told Max Wolford she wants to do a story and that “UO Athletic Department Officials told her that Masoli was going to be arrested soon”
I find item 2 a little hard to believe. Why would Shelley Smith tell Max, a victim in an ongoing case, that there was going to be arrest and that arrest had to do with presumably confidential information from the UO Athletic Department given to an ESPN reporter.

I’ll give him credit in that he says a number of places that he is skeptical and that they are just rumors. The headline writing isn’t very clear on that though and the “this is speculation but it’s confirmed speculation from 2 sources” isn’t a very good ending.

Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
Your sources are either lying, or breaking the law by divulging the proceedings of a grand jury.
If they’re lying, you’re an idiot for repeating what they said.
If they’re divulging grand jury events to you, think to yourself — why are they doing this? To gain favor with you for some reason? Because they just “have to share”? And do they know that you’re running onto the net, saying “I know something you don’t know but I CAN’T TELL YOU hahaha”? Why are you betraying their trust? In this case, you are both idiots — them for blabbing, and you for disclosing that they blabbed.
Either way, there’s at least one idiot involved in your report, and the odds aren’t in your favor. What are you trying to do, be another UO Sports Dork?
Darn fool teenage kids…
There’s a reason they don’t let reporters into grand jury rooms. There’s a judge, who just ensures things are done according to the rules; a prosecutor, a recorder, and the grand jury. Maybe a bailiff if there’s witness testimony.

Sorry, I’m just catching up. Listening to CK bitch-slap Schroeder and Co.
Sheesh. Remember when reporters used to write the story and hit the bars and chain-smoke afterwards? Did I miss the transistion from ink-stained wretches to Stalwart Defenders of what they think is appropriate behavior by those they cover?
I think George Schroeder’s a pretty good writer, but it’s always eye-opening to hear how a columnist “gets” the story… they can come off looking rather tool-ish.

yeah but benzduck, you have to remember they don’t teach civics or social studies in high school anymore, so what you are saying is all new information to many here.

My Civics teacher was the football coach.
At least my senior year he was. Soph and junior years were coached by a PE teacher. We went 0-18.
Senior year, new coach puts in a wishbone offense. Led the league in offense. Last in defense. But we won three games.
Year after I graduated, they went 0-9 again, and I believe only scored 6 pts all season.
None of this, of course, has anything to do with auto shop.

Phase three got halfway to the goal thus far. Its the luxury box, club seat phase. If he can finish that up on schedule it’ll be a success.

He can flat recruit and it’s only a matter of time before he turns Seattle U into a powerhouse, in my opinion. Try to poach him now while you can. The recruits he can pull at a BCS school with a good amount of money backing would be scary.
And if that doesn’t convince you, we know he can kick the crap out of OSU on their home court with his one stud player not doing jack. So, there’s that.

Shit how did I forget that. I’m telling you, Steve Alford NEEDS to be coaching at Oregon next year. Who do I go stalk to make this happen?

I’m on it. How much are going to hate me when Oregon is constantly kicking WSU’s ass in bball because Steve Alford is the Oregon coach. :-)

I'm happy with Bone
But I really wouldn’t want to play against Alford. The pac-10 is flat stacked with coaches

Yeah, although I’m not a huge fan of O’Neil at USC. I don’t think he has staying power.

Best defensive efficiency in the nation
The fans may not like it, but he’s got them playing ridiculous defense and for that I like him. I think he’s a good coach overall, he just got ran out of Arizona because he didn’t fit the Lute mold.
He’s kind of boned with the way the program got tossed under the bus, too.

He doesn’t fit the So Cal mode though either. He’ll constantly get overshadowed down there by Howland

Very true
Oddly enough, he’s out Howlanding Howland on the defensive end. Howland loves his D and O’Neill is doing a killer job with it at SC. Sweeping them this year helps, too.
I think he’ll have some time down there with the probation and sanctions they won’t run him out of town. The question will be can he recruit
by Brian Floyd on Feb 19, 2010 11:34 PM PST up reply actions
Can he recruit? Not with UCLA next door and sanctions up your ass. No, he’ll fall off quickly (he’s still playing with Floyd recruited guys).

Don’t get me wrong, he’ll land on his feet somewhere. But it won’t be at USC. I’m just hoping Montgomery moves on before he makes Cal a POWERHOUSE! I’m still pissed they got him

O'Neill may get time with the sanctions, though
Then again, the AD is on the way out as well, which doesn’t help him.
Monty is an awesome coach and if he stays at Cal, they’re going to be a force for a while.

Well, cougfan you have made me happy tonight. I am going to bed with a smile on my face thinking about how much I’m going to pester Belloti and Knight about going after Steve Alford.
Talk tomorrow after Cal rips Oregon a new one. :(

I know you’re being sarcastic, but I would hate to see Westhead coach the men’s team

The amount of damage control that has to happen is getting out of hand...
Oregon is probably the only team in the PAC 10 that I like. I’ll root for anyone playing USC but I’ve always liked the ducks..
