Will UCLA’s game with Stanford on Saturday be the last on the UCLA sideline for Bruins head coach Chip Kelly?

According to Football Scoop, Kelly’s job isn’t safe beyond this weekend.

Even in the event of a win over Stanford on Saturday, there is no guarantee that Kelly will return to UCLA next season, as Kelly’s three-year record of 10-20, and 10-14 in Pac-12 play doesn’t cry out job security.

NFL coaching positions are open as well, so it will be interesting to see if the sidelines in Westwood would be a “perfect” or not.

Update: UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond has refuted this report:
