Potatooooooes!! 1,375 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I was pretty surprised by this personally.

UCLA was struggling and if they're going to be competing in the B1G anyway, then why not be located there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCLA needs Big 10 style coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,777 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Voluntarily moving from being the head coach at a major school to a coordinator is more than passing strange. There must have been factors involved that encouraged Kelly to "look for other opportunities". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also spoke out about how annoying it is to talk NIL with recruits. At tOSU he can just focus on the offense and do some recruiting while not running the show.

Maybe, but if that's the case why not just hang it up and go to the beach? He's got, or should have, plenty of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got, or should have, plenty of money. He wants to get back to the NFL. He interviewed for multiple jobs this offseason. He’s too bright of an offensive mind to hang it up. However, I’d be on the golf course if I had his portfolio! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to an ESPN news flash, UCLA has promoted from within. So, no Harsin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No HC experience vs No HC effort. I had to look it up. Foster is popular with the players and fans. Hopefully it will work out for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishoptf 699 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I just read about the Chip Kelly drama, now there is a coach that you really do not want to lead your program...he is only concerned about himself. Must be nice to be filthy rich when you can walk away from at least 4m in salary... I dunno but thats pretty crazy what took place, just up and left, lol...

From what I heard they moved from within bc that is what they could afford at this point. Apparently money is tight until Big 10 money starts flowing.

UCLA vastly under recruits of what they're capable of. They could be a top 20 program year in and year out if they wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
