USC v. UCLA

Looks like Chris Peterson of Boise State is out of the coaching derby. And Houston’s Kevin Sumlin is a former Texas A&M assistant, so the Aggies might come calling. Could be heading toward Mike Bellotti and Tom Cable, who we mentioned early in the week.

  1. Sumlin has been offered the job already at ASU. I’d take ASU over Texas A&M. The competition for A&M will be brutal in the SEC.

    You are wrong. We are so going to get Petersen. Who wouldn’t choose Bel Air over Boise. We are going to get him and be the bestest football team ever. I am going to hold my breath and kick and scream until he comes so we can beat the cheaters forever.

  3. Dude.
    Chris Peterson was never in the race for the UCLA HC job. First, you have to have someone who is actually interested in the job.

  4. UCLA’s going to have no one left to go after. If I were them I’d go after the sweatervest(Jim Tressel) or Norv Turner(after he’s fired).

    I saw projections that had UCLA playing San Diego State in the No One Cares Bowl. To keep it interesting, the winner of that game should get to be a member of the PAC-12.

  5. Is is really a choice between Mike “I need one more big check to cover my divorce” Bellotti and Tom “Does anyone need a beatdown” Cable? You might as well stick with Rick. After all the bRuins are only one win away from the Rose Bowl.

  6. You say timeout, I say touchdown,

    Clever handle. Also, I like your suggestion about the bowl outcome. If our kids can’t beat SD STATE, they DO belong somewhere else. Even if it’s just for football. Make us an independent until we prove we can play.

  7. I’m sorry, but why would a UCLA fan come into this lions den of a blog with the name “BearPuss”
    Dude are you like begging for insults and humiliation?

  8. dcard,

    Yeah, dude, I’m “like begging” for humiliation.

    My name, unfortunately, reflects the current product on the field.

  9. something leads me to believe BearPuss is a Trojan faking to be a bRuin troll. I think this because he seems to be the only bRuin that actually makes sense.

  10. Petersen to ucla would be a step down, you don’t go backwards in your career, you go forward and ucla football isn’t a forward step. Cable cannot be hired with his past, no way. Belotti is the choice but ucla can’t afford him, so it’s on to plan B and the B list of coaches. Isn’t there some ucla football alum that is of color they can hire?

  11. Vanderbilt’s Franklin is out. Contract Extension today.
    .
    Hello, NMSU? Yes, this is Dan again. Can you let DeWayne know I called. Yes, I realize this is my fifth call today.

  12. Fightontovictory,

    I’ll take that as a compliment. The idea that a UCLA fan would be talking smack to ANYONE, at this point, is utterly absurd. It’s this kind of di*k measuring that will hold us back. We need to focus on football and figuring out how to get into the top tier.

    .mownyc –

    I suppose you’re correct about everything except our budget. Clearly, Petersen agreed with you.

  13. Fat Dan is SOOOOOO stupid. His next coach is right under his nose:

    bRuinSlob!

    Here’s why:

    1. Thinks he knows everything;
    2. Really dumb as a rock;
    3. Never made any $$$, so you could hire by the hr;
    4. Already has asst. coaches….The 3 Little Slobs;
    5. Has never won a thing, will fit right in; AND
    FINALLY, when the program crashes and burns, bRuinSlob already has an URN!

  14. Ah, yes. BruinRob for coach. The man whose mouth apparently, on these blogs, has done nothing short of ruining UCLA football.

  15. And now, as an extra Bonus, I present my List of Coaches NOT to hire:

    1. Super Mario’s bungee jumping coach.
    2. Super Mario’s hang gliding coach.
    3. Super Mario’s parachute packer.
    4. Super Mario’s free climbing instructor
    5. Super Mario’s optomotrist
    6. Super Mario’s receiver coach–told him to go deep
    7. Super Mario’s frisbee coach–see #6
    8. Super Mario’s shoe-lace tying coach

    Pretty good, huh? You’re welcome,

    N0BS

  16. What about Efrain Martinez, head coach of the Pierce College Brahmas? Even though Pierce went 3-7 this year, he’s a local guy with energy and inroads to SoCal recruiting and could provide the cattle-prod-to-the-nuts that bruin football needs. But, now that I think about it, I have too much respect for Martinez to suggest that he take on the suicide mission that is the ucla coaching job.

  17. oh N0BS… don’t you know making fun of a dead kid gives you bad karma? How are your bRuins going to pull the upset tonight with you making fun of dead kids left and right?

  18. NOBS, you gotta be shi**ing me. You’re gonna write something like that AND PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE?

    It doesn’t get lower than that. Good luck in life I believe you’ll be having some trouble.

  19. NOBS,

    I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to the coward pretending to be you. Love your “bearpussy” reply, though. Good punch.

  20. Why is it that I have to come to your blog and not Gold’s to get any updates on the UCLA coaching search? If you see him, tell him to stop eating and start posting.

  21. If you haven’t heard, Wolf is in love with UCLA. And i think both of them need to stop stuffing their faces. Oh and Wolf should look in to getting some rogaine.

  22. I wonder if any of these prospective coaches realize that the practice field is only 80 yards long and may be the reason that uclol has difficulty scoring.

  23. Whassup, my Band of Brothers? I make fun of SLOB’S late wife all the time! Don’t be such crybabies! WAH!

  24. Zero, you’re the one bringing bad karma on your team. I’d actually like to see UCLOL pull off the upset tonight and see the look on Larry’s bald-headed face. It’s too bad you put this karma on them…

  25. N0BS

    I couldn’t care less what NOBS does to you. You and your comments about their kicker are complete bearpuss. Come on, man. Rise up. Get real. We got a game to play tonight. Are you in or are you sitting on this board posting hate under a fake name?

  26. I really hope UCLA wins tonight. It would be epic that the coach who pulled off the monumental upset in the week that he got canned can’t coach them in the Rose Bowl. This would be too comical! How do you fire your coach BEFORE the Pac 12 Championship game? If you are Dan Guerrero, you now have to hope you lose. That’s an odd position to put yourself in.

  27. Pete, I totally agree….and it kills me. It would be hilarious. But it might knock us out of the Top 10 as Oregon would be considered dog $h!t losing to a rag tag team like Fucla. But, who cares? Our season is over and on to 2012 and ANOTHER Southern Division Championship.

  28. Something weird brewing around Westwood, for sure.
    Jon Gold never acted this way before. Does that mean we are getting Petersen? Hell, it may mean we are getting Paterno or Sandusky.

    Could you all imagine working for Dan Guerrero.

    OK, here’a all you need to know about us. If we roll over early, it’s gonna be … well, you already know, 50-0. Well, in truth, they’ve all been like 50-0 against really top teams recently.

    Well, then lets just settle on this:
    Watch out for the weird BruinPussy handle. Crazy poster who likes to watch the boys in the shower, if you know what I mean.

    Kinda like your 714 & Carlos. Give a dude the creeps, you know?

    Party on, Trojans … let’s spill this bitch on Oregon.

  29. Sure, UCLA Rockies, these guys are your friends. They listen to you. Good job with your attempt to slander me like that. Great time to be cracking shower/Sandusky jokes. Try focusing on football, your comedy’s weak, bearpuss at best.

  30. Dear UCLA-Rockies-Guy, you really need to get over your obsession of trying to one-up me, and for 3 reasons:
    1. You lost that battle some time ago
    2. Nobody cares but you
    3. Youre just boring
    Please do not waste your time and the minimal amount of brain cells you have trying to come up with a…shall we say…”rebuttal” to this post, because it’s just going to result in you getting stressed out and shitting your pants, and because I aint gonna waste my time reading it lol. Good luck buddy.

  31. Chris Petersen turned down a reported $4 million annual package from UCLA. Ouch! There goes the only top-tiered available coach unless you think Belotti is top tier. It’s time for Plan B–Sumlin.

  32. TrojanPete –

    Sumlin is more likely to go back to Texas A&M than ucla or even ASU. ucla will end up getting some retread like – Belotti, Cable, Mora, Jr., or Weis. DelRio and Fisher will never coach at ucla, and Tressel would not want to ruin reputation by taking the ucla job. Perhaps an Occupy protester will be interested?

    ucla is not a top tier program, and therefore not a draw to a big name coach. Their best bet is to take a chance on a young coach (DeWayne Walker, Brent Venables, etc.) that can make a name for himself at ucla. And if he does well, start paying him before he gets hired away. At this point, a successful ucla coach is far more likely to get poached by another school, than ucla is to hire a successful coach away from a program.

  33. Jerry Sandusky on a Train right now to Westwood! Charlize Bucksh*t is sitting on his lap telling him sweet nothings about that fine foozeball program in Westwood.

  34. How Does Scott Wolf…,
    I think UCLA has a legitimate shot at Sumlin only because I think most schools will realize he is overrated and they will back away. Houston didn’t play anybody and he can’t win without Keenum. Sumlin will cash in before the bowl game and leave just like Brian Kelly did to Cincy. He’ll most likely go to A&M as you say but I think UCLA has a decent shot at him. UCLA will either have to overpay for someone like Sumlin or some re-tread like Belotti or do as you say–go with an up and comer. I agree that they are best served taking a chance on an up and comer who can recruit well and occasionally steal a great prospect from the jaws of SC instead of always settling for the leftovers. Either way, I think UCLA alums/fans will be disappointed in whoever they hire.

    No way anybody-including UCLA-hires Tressel with all of that baggage.

  35. BruinRob,

    Tonight’s loss is on you. Drawing buttholes? Pretending to be someone else? Get real. It’s clowns like you that keep holding us down.

  36. Btw, BruinRob,

    If you’re not N0BS, I apologize. I’m only talking to the imposter. If it’s not you, forget what I said about the loss being your fault.

  37. @bearpussy, if you’re going to live up to your name, get the hell outta here, this is no place for pansies…you are a disgrace to Bruin fans – although I doubt you’re one – my guess is you’re a fraud posting as a Bruin fan trying to make us look bad.

    @JethroTull, I’ve very proud of my team, they fought hard til the very end competing against a great team, surely they did not cause our conference an embarrassment on a national level as some of you trOJies were hoping for. UCLA and Neuheisel received nothing but but praise, even from that dirtbag Marcus Allen.

    Win lose or tie, I’m a bruin for life, til the day I die.

    Sumlin is a fraud, and it would be a mistake of epic proportion hiring him as our coach. Dan Guerrero is a dumb shit and he should be replaced immediately by Rich Neuheisel, and let Rick hire his replacement.

    Go Bruins!!

  38. SlobDusky, next to YOU, Sumlin is PERFECT for the job. Like you in soooooo many ways:

    1. Loser
    2. Stupid
    3. Thinks he knows everything
    4. Has three slobs, at least, as asst coaches
    5. Minority

    One thing you have over Sumlin is the URN!

    8 Clap Go bRuins!

  39. BruinRob,

    So you are N0BS… And I’m the one making Bruins look bad? Get real. You think “Rich Neuheisel” should be the AD? Let me explain something to you. You’re a fool. Why would Rick make a good AD? If he’s telling the truth, HE DIDN’T REALIZE HIS JOB WAS IN JEOPARDY. He thought he was doing a good enough job. That’s the LAST guy you want as AD.

    You are truly unbelievable. Complete bearpuss. Man up.

  40. Hire a DC from either ALA, LSU OR SC, and u get someone who can coach and has an in with recruits from the south.

  41. Any coach that would want to be the HC at Fucla is an idiot. Here are some FACTS:

    In the last 50, yes FIFTY, years,

    1. How many NC in Football? ZERO
    2. How many Heisman’s? 1 – 1965?
    3. Do you have a winning record over USC? NO
    4. How long does it take to drive to work? 1 hr?
    5. Your asst’s drive? 2 hrs?
    6. Housing? Yikes, for any coaching staff
    7. Is FB the #1 sport at Fucla? NO
    8. Is Fucla FB #1 in Los Angeles? NO. Never has been

    Yep, the Fucla HC job in football is a real sweet job.
