Definitely a player's coach.

MOBILE, Ala. – When Josh Huff saw Chip Kelly’s face, he knew something was up.
This was last January. Kelly had just decided to take the Eagles’ head-coaching job, but before the news leaked publicly, he wanted to address his players at Oregon.
“We were just about to start our winter workouts and he came in. I knew right then there was something going on because he’d never come into our winter workouts,” Huff said. “I could just see the look on his face and he was just distraught. But he came in, gathered us up and he was just saying he wanted the challenge in the NFL. And I couldn’t do nothing but thank him for what he’s done.”
The emotion was something Huff hadn’t previously witnessed from the coach he played under for three seasons.
“I’d never seen Coach Kelly cry up until that point,” he said. “When you see a man cry like that, that means he cares about that program, he cares about his players. And I care just as much about him as he cares about me.”
