1) Is this the replay of the 2009-2010 season as the 3rd losing season in 9 seasons for Ben Howland? – Anonymous
No, I think UCLA ends up with a winning record.

2) Out of curiousity, if Terry Donohue, or another prominant UCLA Football person was the UCLA Athletic Director (ie Gary Beban, Randy Cross, Tom Ramsey, Jay Schroeder, Kenny Easley), do you think coaching candidates such as Chris Peterson, Sumlin, Golden, or even higher profile types like Urban Meyer would say no to UCLA if they offered them the football coaching job at UCLA? – rejn
I think what matters is the money and the commitment of resources to the staff and facilities.

3) Do you believe UCLA can get back to competing with its cross-town rival and contending for Rose Bowl berths, as it has in the past, with Dan Guerrero as the athletic director? Yes or no, please explain why. – Anonymous
Yes, but UCLA will have to get very lucky and have some things break its way. It’s certainly not going to be an easy fix. And why? Because I think the role of an athletic director does not dictate the success of a team.

4) 1. re: facilities: I’ve always wondered if there is something about the current facilities that has contributed to all of the well-documented injuries the Bruins have suffered over the last few years. Is there something actively wrong or bad with spaulding field, or is it just cursed? – Rich
Seems just like bad luck.

5) What do the players think of Mora and the process that led to his hire? – Rich
They seem to support it, but most were sort of aloof about the whole process. Given his reaction to the whole wall thing, maybe they’re a bit scared now, though.
