That UCLA job is going to be tough for anyone

I figured UCLA would eventually fire Foster. Certainly didn’t expect it to be this quick. But that loss to UNM was not good.

Yes.
That $10 a million of TV $ to Cal hurts.

I have a perfect fit.

My buddy was at Va Tech game last night. He said they didn’t like QB (kid from Shadow Creek).

Wouldn’t be surprised if Billy Napier gets the boot

He’s a dead man walking. It comes down to his buyout. Their AD saved himself with the basketball team winning the national championship.

Kyron Drones. UH offered, Drones signed with Baylor, then transferred to Virginia Tech.

Texas Tech plays UH 10/4/25. That should be the feature college game in the state.

Texas is at Florida and Texas A&M plays at home against Mississippi St. that Saturday.

UH needs to make the best of this exposure.

I recall his grandfather played here.

Regardless, he was ok his Redshirt Sophomore season and hasn’t been good since.

Yes, Jerry Drones.

Kyron Drones is also the cousin of #1 NFL Draft Pick Cam Ward.

Since they only played 3 games and in UCLA’s case, school hasn’t started yet. (They do quarters instead of semesters)

Players can redshirt and transfer since the 30 day window is open WHENEVER a head coach gets fired.

Theoretically an entire team of underclassmen could enter the portal and a team could only be playing seniors, grad students and walk-ons for the rest of the year

Whats really the deal at UCLA they were going to the Rose Bowl regularly as late as the 90’s but they have been mediocre at best since the turn of the century. You would think a public school in LA would be attractive, but has high school recruiting gotten bad in California and they don’t have the national brand to attract good players from out of state. I have heard before they were cheap when it comes to coach’s salaries but you can still find up and comers even on a budget UH has the past 30 yrs.

Thoughts @BYUcougarfan

Several UCLA and Virginia Tech recruits decommitting. Wonder if we can grab a few.

UCLA will go back to hiring a former NFL coach like they did with Jim Mora Jr and Chip Kelly.
