UCLA Game Preview

Deshaun Foster's hiring never felt like a strong one to me. I mean he had been a position coach for a decade, no coordinating or HC experience. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact Chip Kelly left them high and dry in February after the major carousels were complete.

It's a tough place to win at.

Their all time record is nothing all that impressive. To give people an idea they have about 100 more wins than Indiana who is one of the worst all time football schools.

It just isn't a great job, if it wasn't "In LA", it would be a total dud.

The Rose Bowl is 45 minutes from campus, which sucks for students.

It just kind of sucks.

Fleck would actually be an amazing hire for them and maybe the best they can get.

I could MAYBE see a run at Pat Fitzgerald.

Tony White will be a prime candidate
 
Worth noting the interim HC since he is likely who we'd be facing. Tim Skipper. 7-7 overall, hasn't had a permanent HC position it looks like. Did coach a full season as the interim though last year with Fresno State, they went 6-6 and lost in their bowl game.

That's what Foster was though. I don't think they're getting anyone cheaper - it's just change for changes sake if that's how they go about it.

Yeah, I think it was dumb to fire Foster unless they've got someone better already lined up. I suspect their admin is incompetent, so this might just be a CYA firing by the AD. I think UCLA will be bad for another 5 years at least.
 
Dave Aranda (from the west coast and move up to the B1G), Brent Brennan (UCLA alum) plus Fitzgerald listed as possibilities by On3, along with several coordinators, including White.
