Chip Kelly quotes extensively from 'A Few Good Men' while discussing ejection rule

NFC coaches met with the media on Wednesday, and that meant an hour on a wide array of topics for San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly. He hit on plenty of expected topics, but he also got a chance to speak about the NFL's decision to require ejection if a player is flagged for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

Kelly and other coaches are not fans of the new rule, in part because referees already have the opportunity to eject players for rule violations. One coach brought up the point that if a star player gets one unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, the other team could decide to have one of their end of the roster players try and goad the player into another penalty.
