The ball is already rolling... it's sealy's job if he wants it. Mike and Romey have no desire to live in LA they have made that clear many times. Clearly, Sealy could not have turned down Loyola if he hadn't applied for it, so your premise is entirely wrong. I stand by what I've said previously.

The words of a PSU-obsessed fan with a short-term vision who can not see beyond the hills of the surrounding Happy Valley. I am sure with your mind-numbing PSU obsession you can not understand the discussion is about coaches who have a long future ahead of them. Suggestion: Do a Rip Van Winkle and come back in twenty years when you have hopefully developed some maturity. A little reading comprehension wouldn't hurt either. Ask the poster you responded to this question... “Who has the better comprehension of your post?”

Let's see if someone at FSN or ESPNU is smart enough to sign him up and turn him into the John Madden or Dick Vitalle of Volleyball. Don Shaw has been trying to get a gig like that on TV for years now. We who've listened to him on KZSU knows that he is an incredibly knowledgable (and articulate) color commentator... but that doesn't seem to be what either wants. Obviously Andy knows his volleyball, but I don't know how much color commentary he's done. Probably less than Don.

I will definitely miss seeing him here in Hawaii every year. He's been a heck of a coach and a class act all the way. I wish him luck with his golf game or fishing or whatever he plans to do. Aloha, Andy!

Haha. Karch reads VolleyTalk, just like many coaches and players do. For those who hadn't already seen her during JNT days, every Texas fan who'd ever sat in on a practice/match knew about Faucette's tip "tell". She's spectacularly consistent in doing something so simple so poorly. The truly elite players take the same approach as always and adjust their shot in the air. She doesn't have that ability; she commits to either roll-tip or cannon blast before the takeoff, and once she's in the air executes the pre-determined move with seemingly no awareness of where the defense is. True...I was sitting with some people fairly new to volleyball during the replay, and they noticed it, and asked if that was the way things were supposed to be done. Also...picking up on an occasional player tendency that others may not see does not make a good, or even average coach...and has even less bearing on being a head coach. I never made up my mind about what I was going to do with an attack when I was playing volleyball, not until the last possible second. That may be why I perfected the whiff.

What about coaches who have most recently - last 5 years - been to a final four? Many great names being thrown out here, but when you get down to it...will UCLA turn their program over to someone who has not proven success at the highest (DI) level in recent years???

Reading Tomclen's history outline, I am wondering if he stayed too long.
Would Andy Banachowski be more highly regarded as a coach if he retired from coaching in 1995? Has his reputation lost some of his luster over the last 15 seasons?

Many great names being thrown out here, but when you get down to it...will UCLA turn their program over to someone who has not proven success at the highest (DI) level in recent years??? But, of those coaches, who are willing to Move. 20 slots--here's my analysis of them: 3 appearances- (9 slots) Russ Rose isn't going anywhere--he will retire from PSU, IMHO. John Dunning- not sure a move like this would make sense--seems pretty content working at Stanford. John Cook- with daughter going to Nebraska, can't see him leaving. also, Nebraska doesn't face same budget crunch as UC. 2 appearances- (4 slots) Jerriot Elliot-- has a ton of talent in program and on the way. UT not in same type of fiscal crisis as UC system.....would be a tough call. Jim Mac.- hmmm. would be an interesting move, but radically different than current UCLA culture 1 appearance-7 Slots Andy B- duh. Dave Shoji- See entry under Rose, Russ Mike Herbert- See entry under Rose, Russ Mick Haley- doubtful. Rich Feller- move within the UC system? would be interesting Rob Patrick- hasn't made it past 1st round in NCAAs since 2005 Jon Wallace- Hasn't been past 2nd round since 2005.

Unfortunately for the UW folks I think that analysis will be troubling. Feller would seem to be the only other one on the list to make sence but don't realy see him making the move to LA. With JMac's folks in LA area its the obvious choice if UCLA realy wants a proven winner.
Given JMac's disappointing results (his words) this past year I'm not sure he wouldn't want a change to invigerate things a bit.

Possible candidates: Nina Mathies Mike Sealy Jon Wallace Jon Stevenson Bob Stoops Jim Harbaugh David Rubio Nina should be thinking of retiring not moving. Although as a former Bruin, a good idea. Sealy Why not Wallace maybe Stevenson possible, good idea Stoops can teach passing Harbaugh nope Rubio not enough success Out of the box Call: Jerritt Elliott -
