Back on the Air, in Las Vegas
I'm at the Las Vegas Bowl, and UCLA is about to kick off to BYU.
It's easy to dismiss this as a meaningless game ... especially for the Bruins.
But we think otherwise.
This game could be very meaningful for UCLA.
It could determine who coaches the Bruins in the near future..
DeWayne Walker is the interim coach, taking over for Karl Dorrell. And he is one of the handful of candidates still in the running for the UCLA job.
Rick Neuheisel, UCLA alumnus and current offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens, is the only other serious candidate still in the running.
The man UCLA names as coach of the team, next week, could hinge on how well the Bruins play tonight.
If UCLA stinks it up, Neuheisel likely will be the next UCLA coach.
If UCLA wins or even is competitive, Walker could be your man. Even with his lack of head-coaching history on his resume.
That makes this game worth watching.
