Guest Report post Posted December 3, 2007 I don't think anyone could have done more with their roster. They've had to recruit second rate talent for a while, and nothing's going to change that. They're looking at hiring Chris Petersen or Steve Mariucci. The latter much more than anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 Yeah the UCLA job isn't that appealing when you have a recruiting mecca and an awesome team across the city from you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted December 3, 2007 I ain't too worried about it. The only thing they've shown in the past 5 years (maybe even longer) is that they can recruit the white athlete. They have the market cornered on good white players. Whoop-de-doo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted December 3, 2007 All things considered, I wonder how good Mariucci can do with the team. He was a better pro coach than Carroll could've ever hoped of being, anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted December 3, 2007 True. But it's more West Coast offense, and the UCLA fanbase seems not so happy about that. From what I've read and been told, in a conversation I had with an alum today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaMarcus Russell's #1 Caucasian Fan 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 UCLA should see what Rick Neuheisel is up to these days. Is he still with the Ravens? Dude had a HELL of a program at Washington earlier this decade and took them to a Rose Bowl or two. The only thing bad about him his baggage, but he is a UCLA guy and an offensive guru to boot and that was pretty much UCLA's main problem since the firing of Bob Toledo.

Bored 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 UCLA has a Top 5 recruiting class coming in for 2008. It's a much more attractive job than some people may think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 I hope the Illini win against USC. I have to agree with Czech as Hawaii should be playing at the Bowl game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest My Pal, the Tortoise Report post Posted December 4, 2007 I don't. A win would just make the red-faced dopes of Illini Nation even more intolerable than they already are with their Unofficial St. Patrick's Day, defending drunk drivers who leave teammates for dead to go play video games, mourning their mincing buckskin fratboy, and general "whyyyyyy do you hate us" whining typical of any college sports fan whose school is lightly criticized.
