UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel: “It’s every bit as important as your offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator. Now Mike Linn will read that and say, ‘Where’s my bump in pay?’ But in terms of the amount of time and the amount of energy expended and the importance of these kids having the physical tools to be capable of playing successfully on Saturdays, it’s huge. And by rule, he gets more time with them than any other one of us. It’s a hugely, hugely important position, and he’s done a fabulous job.”
