As for the comment that Hawks is already in the top 3 coaches in UCLA volleyball history, this is asinine, as UCLA has only had 3 coaches since the start of the program, and #3, Hawks, hasn’t even started yet. Also, as for the comment that I don’t like Hawks or Speraw because my kid didn’t make the cut, my kids play basketball. Seriously - UCLA deserves the best and that just isn’t Hawks. They should have made a quality hire like Brad Keller or Stein Metzger. Hawks is an insult to Al Scate’s legacy!

You are not even remotely deserving of exchanging constructive comments. You aren’t making any points, you’re just spewing drivel and hurling personal insults at Speraw and Hawks with nothing backing it up. At this point you’re just cluttering the thread and should be treated as such. |

YOU are the one that never says anything useful and is a waste of space. I have cited the records of Hawks compared to other coaches and potential hires at UCLA and have found Hawks to be lacking. Deal with it. If you want to challenge my opinions then back up your comments with some facts or shut up.

Deal with it. If you want to challenge my opinions then back up your comments with some facts or shut up. Recruiting is a significant part of collegiate coaching. So to say Speraw didn’t do much but recruit well there is part of your answer which Hawks was a huge influence on the recruiting part. There are plenty of people who are not great coaches but tremendous recruiters, while others are great coaches but bad recruiters. I love that your arguments is evaluating a program that is winning at the highest level. You are on some emotional rampage that does lack substance. You want people to take you seriously then I would take the emotion out of it. But for now, your argument has no support with it. “Almost choked the championship” meaning they still won it. He still averaged 20+ wins in his 12 years there. Speraw won three championships at UCI. It’s hard to win in volleyball. It’s even harder to consistently win in volleyball. This is like saying Alan Knipe has under performed at LBSU. If Speraw in your mind was a bad higher and a bad coach I can only imagine who you think is a good coach and would love to hear your examples. |

You said Brad Keller, a women’s head coach at a rival school and Stein Metzger, who coaches beach. Please be for f***ing real |

News flash bitch that’s what a forum is for. You feel you have to come to the defense of the players and coaches everytime like your some angel and are never wrong man stfu people can speak their minds about anything and anyone. Even in the Hawaii thread you do the same shet. Get a life you think you’re getting brownie points or something no one even knows who you are or gives a shet. Brah you’re one of the worst posters in the Hawaii thread making other posters feel insignificant and dumb everytime they disagree with you. You’re toxic to this forum. Hawaii doesn’t claim you and never would even if you are a self proclaimed fan. |

I am a little surprised that Loyola hasn't updated their website yet.

I don’t have to take a stupid, unfounded argument seriously. That’s how you enable foolishness. Just because you have an opinion on something doesn’t make it a valid one. I know the posters worth respecting and having constructive dialogue with. I will save my substantive commentary for them. Why would I ever take obvious nonsense seriously? Or even worse, some paddy wagon @ss b*tch like you who wants to defend all the idiot posters on volleytalk for their right to crap post. You obviously have no idea what it’s like to coach at a high level or the ins and outs of keeping a program successful so please cry in a different direction I’m not interested. |

As for my choices for Head Coach at UCLA, before Brad Keller took the Head Women’s Coach job at USC, he was an excellent Assistant Coach for the UCLA Men’s volleyball team for years. He’s a great guy and highly qualified.
As for Stein Metzger, he not only played for UCLA, but won numerous Gold medals at the Olympics and would make another awesome choice to run UCLA Men. I’m sure there are others, but these 2 come to mind because of their history at UCLA, as well as their extensive resume.

I am predicting the Banana Slugs go 23-4 this year and win the NCAA finals in 4 sets over rival Fontbonne.

I’m sure there are others, but these 2 come to mind because of their history at UCLA, as well as their extensive resume. I didn't know Stein won won numerous Gold medals at the Olympics. I think he would make a great coach but he chose to focus on beach, and women's too, so there is not a lot of overlap there for men's indoor and he doesn't have the recruiting connections. I am confident that he could build the indoor coaching chops for the modern NCAA men's game and a recruiting pipe line faster than anyone and most likely surpass Hawks on those after several years or more but Hawks has decades of experience and development on Stein. I am not sure Stein would want to start over and he also is probably making much more $ that the UCLA jobs pays, he would have to really want the UCLA men's job to take a setback like that and he is over 50 and has put a lot of effort into being the best in the track he is on. Keller, like several other women's coaches, would be good but it would be a lesser but still big shift in career and he would have to accept a pay cut plus a ceiling on pay compared to the women's side. Not many coaches come back from the "darkside" after they make the shift. They may like coaching men more but once they established a cost of living it is hard to revert to less. Hawks is a great option and checks all the boxes. Head coach positions, like many have said, take more skills than just a good coach. A great mechanic isn't necessarily going to run the best garage in town, it sure helps but takes a lot of other skills and without those other skill it doesn't work at all. Hiring one of the assistants would be a steep learning curve and unlikely to go well for several years. |
