Jimmy Johnson stopped by ESPN radio show Mike and Mike in the morning and gave a brutally honest opinion in what he thinks of Chip Kelly's methods. Johnson was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for the beginning of their Super Bowl run in the 90's.
Many analysts have shown cautious optimism for what Kelly has done but after the recent trade of Brandon Boykin, people have begun to wonder what exactly is going on in Kelly's head. So far linebacker Kiko Alonso has suffered a concussion, and Boykin's replacement JaCorey Shepherd has suffered a torn ACL. Johnson gave his take below,
"He's gotten rid of some high profile players who are talented and they've been successful in other places, plus some highly beloved players like LeSean McCoy. That's going to cause a problem. That's going to cause a problem. The only way to overcome that is winning. Not just winning 10 games, but winning big. The one thing he's finding out is you can't treat professional players the way you treat college players. Chip Kelly will adjust. He's a very smart guy. Again, he's got to win big. This is a crucial year for him. He has a lot of players who have been injured in the past. If those players don't produce, that's going to be a problem."
