If they didn't buy him out this year there's no reason to after next season. They're just going to ride it out. Not following you at all. It depends on the length of his remaining contract and how well he does. There doesn't seem to be any reason for a long leash for Sealy, other than buyout costs, or for any assistants. The entire staff desperately needs to show immediate results, not in future recruiting classes down the road. There doesnt seem to be a reason for a lot at UCLA, but dough boy tanked the football and basketball programs for the last 20 years, dont think he cares more about womens volleyball than the 2 main revenue sports. Guerrero retires next year and he is a career bureaucrat. Working hard to build the program is not in his nature. UCLA lucked into Speraw. When UCLA got Chip Kelly, Guerrero was never mentioned inthsearchor negotiations and they are not talking about him now about looking for Alfords replacement. Nothing will happen until fatboy retires.

And Keller does not need to show immediate results... he needs to show results in his future recruiting classes.

In case you've been living in a cave, UCLA fired Steve Alford a few days ago ... (AP) UCLA fires basketball coach Steve Alford after five-plus seasons. Steve Alford has been fired by UCLA midway through his sixth season, the school confirmed Monday. The move came two days after the Bruins lost at home to Liberty, their fourth consecutive defeat.One has to ask, what about Sealy? Sure basketball is much more on the radar screen at UCLA than Women's Volleyball, but if the AD had the balls to fire Alford, why not Sealy, or is he on double secret probation? Alford had one pretty good season (the Lonzo Ball year), followed by two really crappy seasons. Sealy had three pretty good seasons, followed by one crappy season.

Sealy will be there at least 2 more seasons. He won a National Championship.

Well, the Aunties at the Stan Sheriff Center love him no matter what.

Not putting down the new assistant but how good could the recruiting really have have been when they have to rely on two hawaii bench player transfers to stay competitive.

We were watching the game last night and in between sets, they had hitting lines with 15 players warming up(not including the guys setting.) UCLA has a ton of players and I asked my son, who is the terminal hitter for UCLA? Usually teams have a pin hitter that can carry the team in spurts or a large chunk of playing time. With all the players UCLA have, Rattray seems to be the best Pin Hitter. UCLA's outsides seems fairly small and nondescript.

So, what you're saying is that the UCLA staff already has gotten more out of those kids than Hawaii was capable of in an entire season? Got it.

Alford had one pretty good season (the Lonzo Ball year), followed by two really crappy seasons. Sealy had three pretty good seasons, followed by one crappy season. Or you can say that in a much easier tournament to make that Sealy missed twice in 5 years after the school missed a total of once in the previous 42 years, while Alford missed only once in 5 years after the team had missed 4 times in the 11 previous years. Some of the in game coaching moves (like timeouts) by Sealy are questionable, but even if you subscribe to the idea he is an ok coach, he probably gets a grade of C- for attracting and retaining talent, which is by far the most important measure of success in the sport of Women's College Volleyball. Because of location, prestige, and history of UCLA (and their Women's Volleyball program), that grade should be at least a B.

The next year will be spent getting a new basketball coach and getting the most important program at UCLA back on track.

Guerrero does whatever is easy. He won't make the basketball hire either

It is very, very, very hard to sustain success on the mens' side, and not have a cyclic pattern.

So, what you're saying is that the UCLA staff already has gotten more out of those kids than Hawaii was capable of in an entire season? Got it. If you say so,after one match. Question is why is that coaching staff not getting more out of their endless bench and recruiting classes full of fab 50 players, that three transfer bench players from Big West schools go straight to their starting lineup. Isn’t it more likely that these two team’s coaching staff( Hawaii and Irvine) are developing their bench players better to be able to step in and start when needed and wherever they go. Not like Rosenmeier, Cowell, Rado and Wilmot wouldn’t be starting at UCLA either.
