Hear me out on this. UCLA equal Kiffin.

Opportunity to come back to West coast.

UCLA needs more than a football coach. They draw 5000 fans at the Rose Bowl?

The best (really not calling him the best) one left to go to tOhio St. to become the O.C.

I said the same.. they have been doing things on the cheap just to make a huge offer to someone.. especially since the UCLA move to the Big Ten..

UCLA doesnt care about football. Lane is back with his wife and can have a good life in Oxford. They way more worried about CO2 than football.

They do care. If they're able to get Kiffin, it's a game changer. Can force Lincoln to NFL ... I think he leaves for NFL soon

 

[tide92]

Kiffin's not going to UCLA and be USC's whipping boy.

 

[Secondand26]

UCLA is $290 million In the RED.
Maybe they can get Juice Kiffin, but I’m not sure they can afford to even pay him.

Transfer portal could help, but he could be in for a pretty big rebuild if he went to UCLA. Any coach that goes there is gonna have a lot of stuff in their plate.

Their athletic department is WAY too in debt

Again, if I was a coach and was called to interview for the job.... I'd politely decline. I would not touch that job.

UCLA Hot Board: ESPN names 5 candidates to replace DeShaun Foster

The only realistic names on this list are White, and lupoi. But I don't think Lupoi would leave Oregon for the UCLA job. White make the most sense, especially with his ties to the program.

Only Les Miles can do that.

I think you meant Les Miles can do less with more .

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

Call me crazy, but if arKANSAS got rid of Pittman. They might just promote from within....

 

[Kamikazi18627]

Kiffin would be a fool to go to ucla imo



Now. Clemson, I can see that if they get tired of Dabo.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I honestly wouldn’t be stunned if UCLA reached out to Grubb to gauge his interest. I doubt he’d have much given their current (and likely continued) predicament, but they could, and probably will, do much worse.

Could Washington give him a call if Fisch leaves for Florida?

Virginia Tech, UCLA firings opens 30-day transfer portal windows

The college football coaching carousel woke up on Sunday morning, with Virginia Tech firing Brent Pry and UCLA parting ways with DeShaun Foster. The moves to fire head coaches only a few weeks into the season trigger the opening of 30-day transfer portal windows for both rosters.

For Virginia Tech, the Hokies lost to South Carolina and Vanderbilt in the opening weeks of the season before a 45-26 blowout home loss to Old Dominion. Foster was fired at UCLA following a 35-10 loss at home on Friday night to New Mexico.

NCAA rules allow athletes on a team with a coaching change to enter the portal the day after the change. In this case, Virginia Tech and UCLA athletes can enter starting Monday. Roster retention will be a 1B to finding a successor to Pry and Foster, respectively.

With the one-time transfer rule, athletes can play immediately at new schools. Plus, multi-time transfers who enter will be eligible to play immediately at a new school in the 2025-26 academic year. Because neither team has played more than four games yet, players will also be able to make the push to redshirt the 2025 season if eligible.

The 30-day windows give players a significant head start on entering the portal. The NCAA Division I FBS Oversight Committee recently approved a one-time-only portal window for college football in January.

Players to know at Virginia Tech, UCLA​

The Hokies were raided in the portal during the offseason, losing defensive back Mansoor Delane (LSU), offensive lineman Braelin Moore (LSU), offensive lineman Xavier Chaplin (Auburn) and safety Jalen Stroman (Notre Dame), among others. Notable names to watch at Virginia Tech who could enter the portal include defensive lineman Kemari Copeland and wide receiver Ayden Greene.

At UCLA, Tennessee transfer quarterback Nico Iamaleava could be on the move again. Landing somewhere that can help continue his development will be key. Oregon transfer Rodrick Pleasant has started all three games at cornerback for the Bruins and is one of the fastest players in the country.

I was thinking about the same thing yesterday...a few pages back in this thread. It hit me eating lunch.

It's not just the shirt. Revenue sharing contracts, NIL deals...FUBAR.
