49ers proceed as Chip Kelly attends father’s funeral
Niners head coach Chip Kelly attended his father’s funeral in Portland, Maine, today as his team began preparing for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
Paul Kelly, 87, a former trial lawyer, died Friday night in New Hampshire and Kelly went home when he learned the news.
Offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins began his news conference today by sending his condolences to Kelly.
[...] when something in life hits you it’s a really good reminder for me of how to handle things.
Modkins said assistants collaborate with Kelly each week to produce the offensive game plan.
