Bell: Chip Kelly has big image problem

Chip Kelly has a big problem.

It's called perception.

When a third former member of Kelly's Philadelphia Eagles publicly calls out the coach and suspects that race or culture plays a role in how the team is run, it is more than a sour grapes coincidence.

It’s personal.

Cornerback Brandon Boykin, traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend, was the latest to diss Kelly, telling Comcast SportsNet that the third-year coach is “uncomfortable around grown men of our culture.”

This follows remarks previously coming from ex-Eagles Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy and assistant Tra Thomas.
