UCLA has a pretty depleted roster and while I won't say they won't lose anyone, everyone is pretty much in the two deep. If they aren't, you don't want them and what limited NIL money is probably going to the good players as is.

As for coaches, who knows. The floor seems like DC Tony White. It's not an ideal time to hire a coach. I'd prefer an offensive one. But whoever we hire has to have a desire to recruit. The lack of offers ucla gave out compared to any other program was staggering. Chip hated it and NIL made it worse for him.

Thanks Bug. Yeah I think Chip is still a good coach, just didnt get the guys he needed.

I think he is a brilliant mind but he doesn't want to go get the guys he needs. OC might be the spot where he works best. 86th ranked class for UCLA is just lazy.

I don't think anybody will disagree that Tedford’s legacy will be his highly productive 11 seasons as the Cal Bears coach from 2002-2012. With backfields that included the likes of Aaron Rodgers, JJ Arrington, Marshawn Lynch, Justin Forsett, Kyle Boller, Jahvid Best, and Shane Vareen. Tedford’s tenure produced eight different 1,000-yard rushers; 9 of Tedford’s 11 seasons featured a RB amassing over 1,000 yards.

Tedford was 82-57 at Cal; his time coaching in Berkeley is the highpoint of Cal football during my time following the sport since the 90s. Unfortunately when it came to conference championships, their decade of success came at a time when USC’s dynasty under Pete Carroll dominated the PAC 10.

Holy shit I’m old. I remember when Tedford was the hot young coaching mind.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

He of course needs to take care of his health first but I hope Brennan has him on speed dial to see if he can come back as an analyst
