I don't think UCLA cares about football

California kills literally everything the common man likes in life

It makes sense. Their splash hire, Chip Kelly, didn't work out, so it's understandable that they wouldn't go all-in on another splash given their (relative) financial constraints.

They promoted their RB coach who happens to be a UCLA grad. Sounds like a very underwhelming move going into the B10. As homey as Baylor is, I'm glad we do not take this type of approach. I would think they would have reached out to Grub, he really wanted the UW job badly. (Granted I realize he also has not HC experience but he has at least been a P5 coordinator). UCLA is probably regarded as a similar job if not even a little more attractive due to location. Hell they should have kicked the tires on Pete Carroll, if they didnt.

Wow. He has only been a running backs coach. Not even any other position or a coordinator. Seems like they just didn't try or maybe this late in the offseason no one really returned or answered calls.

DEI baby is all that matters in the state of California!
