SoCal Husker Terry Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It is official, Rick is out as Bruins coach. Just could not get er' done out here in So Cal, and with USC looking poised to come off probation in a strong way, just wondering... What direction should the Bruins go in? I know for one thing, UCLA seems to cheap to hire a big named head coach, but they need to do something in a hurry... Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Who knows who they'll hire, but they are and always be a basketball school first. They do deserve better though. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I guess winning the inaugural Pac-12 south crown doesn’t count for much. Oh well, skippy will land on his feet. He always does. Quote Link to comment
husker_hurdler Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 ESPN mentioned Paul Rhoades Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I don't know....fire the coach right before the biggest game you've had in years...so you can motivate the team to win one for skippy? Quote Link to comment

I wouldn't call what they did 'winning it' they are only in as USC(who just monkey stomped them 50-0) is ineligible, and the rest of the division is a train wreck. 6-6(soon to be 6-7) doesn't cut it in year 4 at a sleeping giant like UCLA.

NUance Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 ESPN mentioned Paul Rhoades Ha ha! That would officially make Iowa State a stepping stone program. Nice job by that Cyclone search committee, these last two hires. Quote Link to comment
da skers Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'm sure Scott Frost will get the job. Quote Link to comment

SoCal Husker Terry Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 I saw someone post on one of the Yahoo message boards that UCLA should consult with Terry Donahue and Dick Vermeil and conduct a national search for a coach. I don't get it, Westwood is in a great area, great weather, a giant talent pool in So Cal, they should have a better program and should have no problem attracting a good coach...but they have to pay for one too...that prolly won't happen...by the way, the basketball team sucks now too Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Just for grins....let's say UCLA somehow gets all the breaks and wins this game....Barring scandalous acts, Rick would be the first coach to be fired after winning a championship. Quote Link to comment

The only way UCLA wins that game is if the first two strings of Oregon players forget the way to the stadium Quote Link to comment
