Chip Kelly isn’t one to give financial advice. He’s no Wall Street expert or big-league broker.
But when sports slowed to a crawl last March because of a mysterious virus, he ordered his UCLA staff to download the virtual communications application Zoom onto their computers. And then he offered to them, free of charge, advice that seems prophetic a year later.
If you got any cash, he told them, buy Zoom stock.
“I didn’t listen to my own advice!” says the Bruins coach, who chuckles while retelling the story this week.
Until that day last March, Kelly didn’t know much about Zoom.
