Outside looking in . . . I am thinking likely first call to Keller. Smart play would be for Keller to be interested enough to get USC to extend him. We will see if there is a USC announcement this winter.
Second call to Petrie. She says no, but you need to talk to Reft.
Round table the Bruin Bubble and Reft, interview and hire the best person for the job.
After the women’s soccer hire, I see no reason not to get on board with who the AD hired . . . Athletic Department is on a heater . . .

No one any UCLA fans we’re gonna like would come for what they were offering 🤷🏼♂️

Glad it’s not dullivan but not jumping for joy about Reft either. UCLA needs to stop being stingy! Who did you want UCLA to target? As long as Wolfgang knows who it is, I'm good.

Maybe we will like who we didn't know to like. Anyway, in three years UCLA will be able to be more generous.

If you're not going to pony up to pay a competitive salary, why push him out now? If the new coach doesn't work out and they have to fire them in a few years, that's probably a worse look than if they just let Sealy stick around until 2024.

There's one more year in the PAC, which can serve as a transition year for the new coach before facing a pretty rough competitive transition to the B1G.

If I'm UCLA I do not commit to 5 years, knowing more money will be available by end of 2025. Maybe I commit to a 3+1+1, with the final two years being tied to performance... such as, well, whatever they think.. winning Conference Record, or whatever. Like they said in Office Space, you don't have to fire the person, you just stop paying them and everything works out.
I'm sure UCLA got stuck with Sealy by giving him a contract that starting in 2013 was starting to be unmerited.

Okay, but if that's the case, then it's stupid to fire a coach if you're not prepared to pay a competitive salary for their replacement. I guess it is UCLA, though, so it's kind of on brand for them. Just look at their last two men's basketball coaching searches. They ended up with like their fifth choice both times.

After the hire is announced, and the autopsy report can be released, I think that's what the findings will show.

And UCLA doesn't really need a great coach, as it basically recruits itself. Still, this seemed like a great opportunity.

In the new landscape, they need a coach who can WIN in the B1G, not just simply one that can recruit, if they really want to compete for Championships. Otherwise, they will relegated to the middle of the B1G pack, a space that is already pretty crowded.

You are right if they want to compete for Big Ten and national championships.
