i really don't see why petersen would go to ucla

the guy has had any pick of jobs over the past three or four years including ucla once before, idk.
i think ucla is wasting their time and with them directly competing with a few other schools right now for jobs, they should zero in on good candidates that aren't one in a thousand shots.

I dunno if it's possible to be USC/Ohio State/LSU/Alabama and expect to compete for the National Championship every year with the higher admissions standards (does Texas have them? You think of UT-Austin in the same academic plane as Cal/UCLA/Stanford/Northwestern/Vanderbilt/Duke/etc., but then their football program makes more money than God has, so I dunno. Does Michigan?), but I think you can win 8-9 games a year consistently with those players if you find the right guys to coach and the right guys to play, and make runs at the championship when Luck-quality guys stumble in. There's a limited number of really smart, really good football players, but it's not like only one place gets to have them all.

Apparently we are now targeting Sumlin from Houston to be our dude. Which seems like at least we'd be more fun to watch on offense.

they'll def have to fend off texas a&m for him
― v-shasty, Saturday, 3 December 2011 06:18 (twelve years ago) link
i think
re admission standards, there are some schools i think like miami and michigan and i think texas that have higher admission standards than a school like LSU or alabama but are still a notch below the admission standards of stanford and notre dame and schools of that ilk.

We apparently offered Petersen $4 million before he officially pulled his name out, though, so at least we're gonna spend the money this time. I think he always gets called because he is probably the best bet for an aspiring big-money school to turn their program around, so even though he's going to stay in Boise for as long as he wants, it at least gives you the chance to say "We tried to get the best guy."
Most hilarious name I've heard thrown around: Herm Edwards.

i'm scared for UCLA that they're

gonna end up hiring an NFL guy (i.e. del rio)
If they hire Mike Sherman I am probably gonna start weeping.
― C-L, Saturday, 3 December 2011 06:41 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i don't think you have to worry about that
― v-shasty, Saturday, 3 December 2011 06:42 (twelve years ago) link
hiring guys on the cheap because they have a strong tie to a school really just doesn't work.
See Mike Shula.
Good points brought up though that UCLA really doesn't value their football program as much as their basketball program, and while they're in an incredibly fertile recruiting area they're content to just take what comes their way. What probably ends up happening is that they take a gamble on some buzzed about assistant coach (who? no idea) and ride him for a couple seasons. I don't see any current head coach who's worth a damn leaving the program he's got and taking on the burden of UCLA.
