They are going into the Big Ten so he will get three years and they move on.

I doubt he gets that long. Probably closer to Arnett at MSU.

No, that won't happen. UCLA is DeShaun's alma mater and he's coached there 8 years prior to this. And, he's black.

I mean we are in the middle of February. They really didn’t have any other good options.


They should've gone the elite, small school coach route, like a Troy Taylor, Chris Kleiman, etc.

At least hire a guy who knows how to run a program. Now they have hired a guy from the staff of the guy they wanted to fire. Genius!

Kleiman and Taylor have better jobs than UCLA.

I am referring to someone LIKE them. A coach from the lower levels.

Those dudes know when a situation is set up for failure too.

They know the timing is shitty and they're going to suck so they got a cheap hire they can cut loose easily.

K-State & Stanford?

Stanford is probably the worst Power 4 job right now. And K-State is historically one of the worst.

Any lower level coach would take UCLA without hesitation.

Then why didn't Kansas State not take the UCLA job?

Pretty lazy hire. They are going into the Big Ten so he will get three years and they move on.

Let's hope UCLA will beat LSU this coming season.

DeShaun Foster


Havent heard that name in a long time. I remember watching him play for them. Didn’t realize he was coaching.

We can’t compare old hires like this to the age of the transfer portal now…
