Sealy is a good man but I have no idea how UCLA is struggling so badly. I meant Sealy is safe until the move to the new conference. UCLA is a plum job and UCLA should be contacting Petrie, Greeny and KBB No one’s contacting KBB or Petrie because they have said time and time again they will not be moving, for sure with kbb. I doubt even Nebraska could convince her to move Why would they? DBK is on line one ready to pack her bags and move at the first hint of an opening. I’ll also say there’s rarely any benefit in head coaches indicating they’d leave for another program until the ink is dry on a contract. In fact, it’s stupid to do so. I’m not saying they’d leave for UCLA. I’m saying there’s no reason for them to even ponder it until the situation comes up. Be where your feet are. |

What I’m saying is both pietre and KBB have been contacted for big name jobs. Both of them have turned them down. Both will not leave their current roles and if they did, it would be a HUGE shock to anyone connected in the coaching world |

Which is not the same as saying it can’t happen. |

not sure when sealy's contract is up but it would make sense for ucla to get a new coach before moving to the big10...usc & ucla are going to be able to capitalize on some of the top recruits in country with living in sunny california & play in the competitive big10...they need a new coach...& i'm not saying usc & ucla don't get top recruits...i'm hoping david hunt stays @ texas for a few seasons (but who knows)

I'm not 100% sure DBK would leave Louisville when Cook retires. On paper, it makes all the sense in the world. She's from a tiny town in Nebraska (just south of where I used to live) and is a Nebraska alum. But what if she wins a national title or two at Louisville in the meantime? Dabo Swinny is from a small town in Alabama not far from Tuscaloosa and is an Alabama alum, even being a part of their 1992 national title team. And no one thinks he would leave Clemson. At a certain point, I think it would be very difficult for her to leave what she's built at Louisville, no matter what other opportunities are available. |

I love this thread.
Nothing in my life is as disappointing as Sealy. Smh.
I was a freshman at UCLA in 2011 and watching them with the natty that year was fun. It’s been disappointment after disappointment since then.

If the position opens up, I could see the AD doing what he just did for womens soccer. Hiring an experienced female assistant coach from a top program who can recruit. New soccer coach had 5 plus years at Stanford and was known for being a top recruiter. She’s off to a great start in Westwood. Why not try to do the same for volleyball . . .

Players will not want to play for programs where they have to spend 15-20 hours every other week week traveling cross country for match's. Players will end up going to San Diego, Pepperdine and schools in the WCC and Big West where travel requirements are sane |

Players will end up going to San Diego, Pepperdine and schools in the WCC and Big West where travel requirements are sane Players will get used to it. Hawaii has to fly into California every other week for 5 weeks(minimum 5 1/2 hour fly each way).I know the girls are sometimes tired but they know what they signed up for when the choose to go to Hawaii. Elite athletes should not fear such thing. USC/UCLA longest flights will be to New Jersey and Maryland. Maybe the BIG 10 can work something out where UCLA/USC will only travel to Rutger/University of Maryland every other year and Rutger/UM only fly to Los Angeles the other years. That way the Cali schools only fly to east coast once every two years and the east coast schools only have to fly west once every two year. Other flights in the BIG 10 will be to Ohio/ Michigan/Iowa/Minnesota/Illinois is just 3 plus hours. It’s not something young and healthy athletes should be worried about. Hawaii is home for 2 matches and then on the road for 2. Repeat for the entire 20 games conference season. |

Players will end up going to San Diego, Pepperdine and schools in the WCC and Big West where travel requirements are sane You keep spouting this in a variety of threads. It simply isn't true. Recruits have specifically spoken about how USC and UCLA moving to the Big Ten makes them more attractive. It's opening up additional recruiting areas because athletes will be able to play in the best conference, close to home for many of them, and get to live in LA. The coaching staffs and current athletes are also excited. Changes/upgrades in travel will happen. It is certainly going to take some work to figure out the logistics. But the WCC schools are not really a comparable student experience (the lack of big-time athletics/Power Conference football being a major one). Those schools are also not as academically strong or with as extensive alumni networks. The general crossover between recruits for those programs and recruits for UCLA/USC aren't as much as you would think. |

I’m a Recruiting Coordinator at a major club who also happens to have a background in Academic and College Counseling and ten years of college coaching experience. So, clearly I don’t know what I’m talking about. But do go on… |

Mr Ed, I think Mr. jcvball22 just took you to the woodshed, as they'd say in the midwest.

The point is that circumstances can change. And I'm not all that confidenct that Alberts will even still be the AD. Nebraska goes through athletic directors at about the same rate that they go through football coaches. |
