"I've said there would continue to be an exodus from the program.

The biggest issue with the UCLA staff in regard to Murray, IMO, is that it didn't believe it needed to take more OLs in the last couple of years, not anticipating it would have to compensate for easily expected attrition -- transfer, injury, not developing, etc. We've been preaching it in every recruiting story we've published. But UCLA doesn't ever seem to get it.

From what I've heard, there could be more departures among the OL."

 

[Bobby Layne]

Love goes before Fromm IMO. Had a awful year but has more talent, and someone is going to over correct for passing on Mahomes.

 

[witnesskb24]

Fromm will be a good NFL QB if he doesn’t have to pass the ball

He’s owned a house there for years. It’s where he became friends with some of the sportswriters who excuse and normalize a lot of his ********.

He's had a house there at least since he got fired at Tech, probably even earlier

On the surface, there may not be a more likeable guy than Hoke but I don't know if he can coach in 2020 at a high level... As old school as they get

 

[Bobby Layne]

He couldn’t coach at a high level in any era. He’s trash

On why the Pac 12 hasn't released a schedule yet when all other conferences have:

Any Day Now (or not)

It’s the question the Hotline is asked more often than any other these days:

When will the Pac-12 Networks be on DirecTV?

Nope, not that one (although it still comes up).


When will Larry Scott get fired?

Another constant, but not No. 1 at the moment.

When will the schedule be released?

Ding-ding-ding.

It’s 2020, and the 2020 Pac-12 football schedule remains a riddle wrapped in a mystery wrapped in administrative processes.


We’re here to help lend clarity (as best we can) to a source of growing frustration for Pac-12 fans.

Because the conference is a tad late.

It typically announces the schedule in November or December of the previous year, and the 2020 schedules for other Power Five conferences have been set for months, if not years (in the Big Ten’s case).

Let’s start with the bottom line:

There isn’t a scheduled date for the schedule release, according to the conference.

The process is, well, fluid.

“Several models have been developed and are under review, to be voted on by the athletic directors,’’ said Dave Hirsch, vice president for communications.

Our expectation — that is, the Hotline’s expectation — is that the schedule will be finalized and made public within two weeks.

That’s an educated guess based on our understanding of the process, which generally follows these steps:

1. The non-conference dates are, of course, set years ahead.

2. The special-date games (i.e., the Thursday and Friday matchups) are selected by ESPN and Fox approximately one year in advance.

3. Sometime in the late summer or fall, the Pac-12 sends what amounts to a giant grid, with the non-conference and special-date games already filled in, to a Denver-based scheduling company.

4. Eventually, the company spits out several models for the athletic directors and coaches to review.

5. After each model is reviewed, the ADs vote: Any schedule that receives a majority (seven) is adopted.

6. If none of the models receives a majority, the conference takes the top two and resends them to the ADs for a second round of voting.

My understanding is that the voting process is underway now.

If it’s clean, we could see the schedule in the next week.

If a re-vote is required, it might be several more weeks.

We noted above that the schedule release is late this year, but not unprecedentedly so:

The 2017 edition wasn’t unveiled until Jan. 18 of that year — just seven-and-a-half months before the season.

If we learn more about the current situation, we’ll pass it along.

And as always, fans should expect the kickoff times for games in the first three weeks to be announced in the spring. — Jon Wilner

Question:
I've seen it referenced several times that after going 3-9 [Chip Kelly] wanted out but UCLA wouldn't let him out. Is this accurate truth or internet rumor?

Not that I would've minded it, but I find it very odd that a coach would want out after his 1st season.

Tracy Pierson:
There were rumblings that, after starting this season 1-5, he had told a few people he might want out. Then UCLA won three games in a row and I didn't hear any talk related to it.

I can't completely verify that Kelly was contemplating leaving. I have it from a good source, but in this situation, with so many people talking, I wouldn't want to assert it based on just that one source.




He's in Annapolis currently meeting with the Navy staff for triple option scheme study and research purposes

 

[witnesskb24]

Kelly been washed, he was a flash in the pan

 

[witnesskb24]

Might be the best declaration paragraph

 

[newbs24]

He couldn’t coach at a high level in any era. He’s trash

Won 11 games at Michigan with a Rich Rod built roster and the last W vs the Buckeyes... Depressing
