In the promising Chip Kelly era in Philadelphia, the dynamic between players and the coach seemed to be a factor in the major disappointment. Kelly arrived in 2013 with plans to revolutionize the Eagles' offense with his innovative strategies. However, his tenure only lasted three years before he returned to college after a short stint with the 49ers. LeSean McCoy, the star running back at the time, suggested that Kelly's discomfort with Black players and his handling of certain situations contributed to the team's struggles.McCoy criticized Kelly for relying on others to deliver messages and for keeping Black players away from Riley Cooper after a racial controversy. He also highlighted the unfair treatment of players like DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Despite the controversies and criticisms, Kelly continues to coach at Ohio State. The podcast episode "The Truth About Chip Kelly" provided a platform for McCoy and his former teammate to share their grievances with their ex-coach in a humorous and candid manner.
