[Justneedme81]

Okay... @Brandon Van de Graaff was telling us, don't be suprised to see HC coaches stepping down... Chip Kelly been wanting to get out of UCLA for a minute.

Same conference.

This was a weird move. He could've waited til December and got out.

Damn is UCLA that bad…I figure Kiffin would end up there one day..

I was going to say, not sure I've seen a Power 5 head coach step down in job at another school, muchless in conference.

Kelly has had his line in the water for a while, no secret there. The UCLA job was pretty much a lame duck situation for him at this point. Personally, I like the guy... and at this point in his career, an OC spot is probably his best fit on either level.

I think that is a way better hire than Bob.

Well if BOB craps the bed. Then Kelly can step right in!

UCLA stay the heck away from Bama staffs!

So now the ucla transfer portal is open. Are there any players Bama might want to take?

You could say the same about their athletic department as a whole.

People are asking why would he leave? The last fiscal year the UCLA athletic department was just under 30 million in debt. I can't say I would stay.

Wasn't he at one time going to be released/fired?

A head coach is on the hot seat and then, to close out the season, his team beats their biggest rival. Said coach is retained.

Have you read that script before?

I was specifically thinking about Gus. LSU isn't a rival.
