I made some comments on this in the game thread. I’m really over Chip. He doesn’t have any passion for winning and I think it drives his behavior in other areas. He doesn’t recruit, and the portal can’t fix gaping holes in personnel. Yes, there are a few quality transfers each year, but I don’t think anyone has brought in the majority of a winning team this way. Colorado tried this year and they still need heaps of players. SUC tried and improved but they’re not a top tier team. I honestly think Chip is just happy drawing up plays, and experimenting with whoever is on the team at the time. He was asked last week about personnel and said he didn’t check or care which specific player was in the game when he calls the plays. It’s something that us fans keep pointing out - that he’s wasting talent and not designing the offence to work with the strengths and weaknesses of the players. I thought UCLA should have fired him after year 2, before the recruiting issue poisons the well for the next coach, but here we are. I don’t wish the Bruins a losing season, but feel like we’ll see the end of him at the end of a bad 2024.
One last point - there was a fan posting that Moore was definitely going to transfer. I don’t really know what will happen with him, but he looked broken mentally (and then physically) in this game. If I were someone in his circle, I’d tell him to look for a team with a good, young, and deep line, and a system designed for a pocket passer. Transfer, take a redshirt year, get your head and body right, and then you’ve set yourself up for success. It’s probably a year or 2 more in school than you planned, but you might still go in the top of the draft. Moore can throw an amazing ball, but Chip is unwilling or unable to provide a scheme that works with his skill set.
One more last point :). We came into this year deep at QB. 5 QBs saw action in 1 game. But we might exit this year with several injured QBs, and no direction at this position for the future.

Well said, J. Chip simply does not care. Never has. Never will. Jarmond can and must end this nightmare. We shall see.
