Ucla Coaching Changes

adman · December 29, 2007

UCLA has hired Rick Neuheisel as head coach.

So what is the over/under until UCLA is investigated by the NCAA for some kind of violation?

My guess is that the first one will be a recruiting violation.

Great hire for them. It was only a matter of time before someone gave him another chance.

I must've forgotten his recruiting problems. I remember him being fired for being in some sort of betting pool (NCAA bracket?).

Do you know him? Maybe he learned his lesson.

He left Colorado in NCAA violation hell when he left there. If I remember right, he was violating the recruiting dead period by sitting out front of recruits houses while calling them.

Much of what Gary Barnet had to deal with was set up by Neuhesial.

Have to admit that I am not a fan of Rick N. I think he will embarass UCLA in due time. He is less than ethical and operates on the edge of the rules. They have compromised/sold themselves to the devil. Disappointing. Maybe Rick has cleaned up his act as he has matured. Let's hope so!

ESPN was spot on: in 3 years they are going to be buried in scandal, or absolutely spot clean. The NCAA will be watching.
