Chip Kelley wanted no part of the SEC and Frost was going back to his Alma mater.
Kelley probably would have had similar results at UF as Mullen did, and Frost probably would have been worse than Napier.

UCLA is not a good job. Nobody gives a shite about UCLA. Too many things to do in LA and they are way behind USC.

There are FCS programs that are better jobs than UCLA

They barely fill up their stadium for home games because most of their students are at the beach or partying

Easily.

FU doesn't have conference games three time zones away, and they aren't trying to move to a sterile, corporate arena 13 miles from campus.

I will say UCLA has the highest concentration of OT 8s and 9s I’ve ever seen and that includes most SEC campuses. If I were a UCLA student I’d spend my Saturdays wherever the women are. They’re usually not at the Rose Bowl.

All UCLA has is it is sunny California with no humidity. That school bases its recruiting on playing at the rose bowl. But they don’t pack that stadium the hype of it is losing its luster and the rumor of switching to sofi doesn’t help their case. Florida is a much better job.

They’re all at nightclubs in downtown LA or walking the Venice Beach boardwalk

likely true but doesn’t negate that the UAA got stuffed into a locker when trying to make their hires

Florida is a good job with the right AD and coach. UCLA job pretty much sucks all the time. Too many obstacles.

UCLA is better if you’re into the govt taking 50% of your pay in taxes.

UF is not behind FSU.

FSU might have to cut sports they are in such bad financial shape. They are hundreds of millions of dollars in debt due to the stadium remodel, ticket sales are bad, and they are staring a $50 million buyout in the face that they can’t afford.

Your anti UAA opinions are valid. When you start saying stupid stuff like we are behind FSU, you lose credibility.

Yes, UCLA doesn’t care about football

That said, if they ever did and went all in, it could be a juggernaut of a program. I don’t think that will ever happen
