Jack del Rio is a complete and total failure. Just what UCLA is looking for.

Speaking of NFL coaching failures… Jack del Rio is available now..

You know, Norv Turner will be back in the job market soon. Just saying.

Herm would be a beast recruiter. Maybe a plethora of 5-stars would mask his deficiencies. Or not. It would be entertaining, either way.

I think Herm Edwards should be a college coach. I’m not sure if he should be one at a program expected to compete for a BCS bowl though.

Am I crazy or would Herm Edwards be a good fit? That rah-rah stuff tends to work better in college than the pros. Plus his California roots and NFL pedigree (albeit mediocre) won’t hurt.

I don’t even understand the Sark and a UCLA candidate stuff that has been put out there. UCLA isn’t a better job than Washington. It might be in some ways, but not on the whole. The only really big advantage I’d give to UCLA is that it’s easier to recruit there, but even that’s debateable: at least at Washingon youre first in line for the Washington kids, while at UCLA going there usually means you didn’t get an offer from USC.
But as far as facilities go, Huskies just broke ground on a $250 million stadium and facilities renovation. That shows a commitment to winning that UCLA simply doesn’t have in their Administraion. And as someone who suffered through Babs Hedges and Todd Turner running the show while Jim Lambright and Don James were run out of town to make room for Rick Neuheisel and Ty Willingham, I know this: UCLA football ain’t winning shit til the people at the top decide to help them out.

As an SC alum, I’ve enjoyed watching FUCLA get pummeled over and over, but that has gotten old. We would like to see some epic battles at the end of the season again, but that just doesn’t seem to be possible. UCLA continues to trip over itself and I don’t see any reason to believe that won’t continue. Tailgating at the Rose Bowl will continue to be the only reason to ever go to a game.

Shouldn’t they be jumping at the chance to coach Puff Daddy’s kid?

amazes me when schools that spend no money on their program think big name coaches will jump at the chance to coach for them. You need first class facilities to get the elite players

Actually, considering that you now have Chip Kelly, RichRod, and Leach in the conference, I’d be going for Dana Holgerson ASAP.

Kirk Ferentz is interested. But I hear Houston Nutt is the frontrunner.
