EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -University of Oregon head football coach Chip Kelly says wide receiver Jamere Holland has been dismissed from the team, hinting that the decision came after Holland posted an expletive-filled statement on Facebook. Kelly on Sunday wouldn't specify which team rules were violated. But when The Oregonian newspaper asked if Holland's Facebook posting was the issue, the coach said the answer wouldn't be difficult to figure out. The dismissal follows a weekend citation of Kristian Kiko Alonso, a 19-year-old linebacker who is being investigated for possibly driving under the influence of intoxicants. Alonso is the fourth Oregon football player to get into legal trouble in less than a month. Holland mistakenly concluded that Alonso had been kicked off the team and blasted the move in his posting.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
