UCLA QB's dad blasts Chip Kelly on Twitter


The Chip Kelly era at UCLA could not have gotten off to a worse start. The Bruins are 0-3 with the latest loss coming at the hands of Fresno State, 38-14.

The father of UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Michael Robinson, has already seen enough.

As a heated Kelly confronted Thompson-Robinson on the sidelines after an interception, Robinson took to Twitter on Sunday and lashed out at the UCLA coach.

Robinson said that Kelly was a million-dollar coach who bears no responsibility. He also took shots at Kelly's coaching, calling his success at Oregon a fluke.

Thompson-Robinson, a dual-threat freshman quarterback from Las Vegas, has struggled since taking over for Wilton Speight in the Week 1 loss to Cincinnati. He's completed just 54 percent of his pass attempts with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Speight suffered a back injury in that season-opening loss.

According to ESPN, UCLA declined to comment on Robinson's tweets.
