I never followed that closely but curious if there is a lesson there. Maybe it is UCLA is hard to win at

Go check out his speech at B10 media days last year and you will get an idea why it didn't work out

Go watch his first press conference. He came across as retarded.

UCLA is hard to win at, but going by his first press conference it’s not really surprising that he failed.

Unqualified idiot at a place that doesn't care about football. The recipe for disaster.

Look at the last several coaches at UCLA.... they have all failed. No football support. No one wants to move to that cess pool.

and I don't think Foster was HC material at all on top of all that.

Means nothing...

We just had a coach who could probably talk for hours at a press conference and couldn't field a competent football team at all 3 phases. Coach Orgeron often sounded like he was reading from note cards and fielded the greatest team ever.

Foster was unprepared and was dealt a bad hand because of the timing of Chip Kelly's unexpected departure.

That guy looked like they asked him to speak 5 seconds before they pushed him out on the stage.

“Uhhhhh we play football…. Uhhhhhhh in LA…….. uhhhhhhhh they have this USC team……. Uhhhhhhhhh….. they play football……. Uhhhhhhhhhh….. also in LA……… I think there might be helmets…….”

Ed Orgeron sounds like Willy fricking Shakespeare compared to that Foster PC
