Thread: UCLA Football

I'll be barhopping in West L.A. for the game.

I was in Vegas last month and I can't justify traveling to see us play BYU. Yawn.

Neuheisel the front-runner? Surprising.

This is really disappointing. And now to hear that they interviewed Jason Garrett, he thought about it and turned it down. We are going to end up with Snuheisel ...

For some reason I am not that surprised.

Nor I am I all that upset by it.

Mystery guest?

I thought Neuheisel burned bridges with Morgan Center. Guess not?

Chow not in picture

Bellotti? (maybe using UCLA for a raise?)

And from BRO...

Bellotti, too, from what we've learned, is the frontrunner for the job.

Some sources have indicated that the deal is actually in the stages of being finalized.

Bellotti is in his 13th year as the Oregon head man, and has led the Ducks to the most successful stint in their football history, with nine bowl appearances in 11 years, eight or more wins in seven of his seasons, finishing in the top 20 four times. In the 2000 season, he led the Ducks to a Fiesta Bowl win and a #2 final ranking. Bellotti, of course, is known for his creative offenses, averaging more than 400 yards per game in eight of his 11 seasons.

It's believed by sources close to the situation that Bellotti would want to keep defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker.

How do you guys feel about Bellotti?

I would be very satisfied.

I'm confused though. The Plaschke article says "Mike Bellotti is 5-3 against Pete Carroll." How is that even possible? Carroll's been at USC for seven years, and he sure as hell hasn't lost to ANYONE five times. He's only got nine conference losses. Seven of those are Harbaugh (Stanford) this year, Dorrell in '06, Mike Riley (OSU) in '06, Mike Price (WSU) in '01 and '02, Neuheisel (UW) in '01, and Tedford (Cal) in '03.

I think he's only beaten Carroll twice--in Carroll's first season and this year.
