2. There will be nationwide talk of Chip Kelly being fired

Chip Kelly bought himself some breathing room with an incredible win over Washington State. Had the Bruins entered October without a single win, there would be much more chatter of Kelly’s job being in danger.

However, when the Bruins lose to Oregon State in Week 6, UCLA fans will have had enough. The nation will realize that their win over Washington State was a complete fluke.

After their matchup with the Beavers, UCLA will have a record of 4-14 under Kelly. With a full year of recruiting, and a quarterback with tons of natural talent, there’s no reason the Bruins should have such a pathetic record.

Rutgers kicked off the inevitably long list of coaches who will be fired this past week when they got rid of Chris Ash. Other teams will soon follow and Kelly will be a name that is brought up frequently. However, the Bruins will give him a little longer in hopes that he finds some more magic in their follow-on games against the powerhouses that are Stanford and Arizona State.
