knapplc Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I almost posted this in the Owa thread, but I didn't want it to come off as cracking on the kid for his decision. Still, it's hard not to remember the fact that we lost this highly-touted recruit to a used car salesman. Not that Husker Fans have any reason to recall Neuheisel with any kind of fondness. His tenure at Colorado was one potshot at Nebraska after another, words which he was never able to back up (Slick Rick went 0-3 against us at CU). These Coaches Better Win.... NowTom Dienhart The heat is on, especially in the Pac-12. The new league christens a new era of 12-team, two division football with four coaches on the hot seat: UCLA's Rick Neuheisel, Washington State's Paul Wulff, Arizona State's Dennis Erickson and Cal's Jeff Tedford. We're exactly three months from the start of the 2011 season, and here is a ranking of the 14 hottest seats in the nation. It's time to win, guys. 1. Rick Neuheisel, UCLA The buzz: Upon arrival at his alma mater after the 2007 season, UCLA and Neuheisel took aim at USC. Neuheisel was featured in a UCLA marketing campaign that stated, "The Football Monopoly in L.A. Is Officially Over." He also said, "When you're at UCLA, you have to have your passion bucket full when you play the Trojans." It all has proven to be a lot of hot air. Neuheisel is 0-3 against the Trojans, getting outscored 84-28. He's 15-22 overall with one bowl and no finish higher than eighth in the Pac-10. Quote Link to comment

I don't think Erickson will be on that list after this season- If they work out some minor kinks, I could see ASU playing for the inaugural PAC12 title. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The hot seat?? WHy? Neuheisel is just continuing the tradition. UCLA has sucked for about a dozen years now. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Mack Brown is not on the hot seat..... Not this year at least. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Mack Brown is not on the hot seat..... Not this year at least. I wonder about that. Texas Fan isn't inclined to forgive losing. If he has back-to-back losing seasons, anything is possible. I think he's most likely safe, but this is Texas we're talking about. Nobody ever accused them of being realistic. Quote Link to comment

Yeah but remember he had to get a new OC and new DC so Mack will get time to work out he kinks. Only a dumbass AD would fire a coach who made changes and got better. Quote Link to comment

Yea, but not that his heir apparent, Muschamp is gone, will they be so quick to pull the trigger? Quote Link to comment

The "Our QBs suck and we cam't have NFL players with 0/0 gpa" kink? Whatever keeps him employed until 10/5/13 is fine, then he goes out to pasture. Quote Link to comment
