Re: Coaching Searches
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.

Re: Coaching Searches
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.Carcassdragger wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 3:31 pmThanks Bug.

Good coach, all the best.
Re: Coaching Searches
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.

Re: Coaching Searches
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?
Re: Coaching Searches
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

Re: Coaching Searches
Odd story. Whole teams just switching schools? It really is a pro league now.
Re: Coaching Searches
Marshall didn’t extend their coach who went 9-3 this year so I kind of feel like you reap what you sow. Next time stick with a winner.

Re: Coaching Searches
Marshall has about 27 guys in the portal not the whole team.
Re: Coaching Searches
It's worse, at least with pro leagues you have a semblance of structure. This is an all out shitshow with no rules, contracts, etc. Even worse this is the structure we have put into place for COLLEGE KIDS, you know, that period where a person is still growing and forming themselves. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.
Re: Coaching Searches
I heard the agents are getting up to 20%. That sucks for these kids and it's putting them in a bad situation and encouraging bad adviceCopaCat wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 4:59 pmIt's worse, at least with pro leagues you have a semblance of structure.

Re: Coaching Searches
If you’re signing a contract and handing over 20% you’re doing it wrong. These kids should be agent shopping. Just like anything else. Hear a pitch from a whole bunch of people and get shit in writing.84Cat wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 5:20 pmI heard the agents are getting up to 20%.

Re: Coaching Searches
Norfolk State makes way more sense than Sac State from a recruiting standpoint.

Sumlin assessing his coaching future:
