Seems like no one wants to play for Kelly any more.. based on the way Kelly treated him, I don't blame Moore for leaving. As for Lynn, he needs to do what is best for him; UCLA needs to pony up and try to keep Lynn home.

It already sounds like a pretty much done deal. I would imagine that Lynn doesn't want to coach under Chip Alfraud. I anticipate a mass exodus of players who want nothing to do with an imposter.

SUC likely offered Lynn a huge upgrade in pay at a school that cares about excellence in football. Jarmond has cemented his legacy as Guerror 2 (courtesy of War Planner). Hope he feels proud when we get pillaged in the BIG.

Haven’t verified this but I did read that Lynn is getting 2 million plus a $500K housing allowance from his new employer. 3 year deal IIRC.

UCLA needed to fire Chip and give Lynn a chance to be coach. What a cluster... in the era of Jarmond.

Extending and not firing Kelly, letting Lynn walk without a fight, tells me that UCLA is not serious about winning a natty in football. Apparently, just being an average .500 is good enough for our administration.

The UCLA defense totally outperformed the offense and special teams this season. Having an inept "offensive genius" who is unable to develop and utilize talent and doesn't motivate or inspire his players, it's not so surprising that the resulting disunity and frustration have contributed to these departures. I'm sure Moore wasn't fully mentally prepared to step in for Garbers during the Cal game, and the rest of the team pretty much gave up mentally as well, especially after giving up that 100-yard kickoff return for a TD. The Bruins football program is currently unable to fire a bad coach, can't retain a good coach, and will find it even more difficult to attract talented recruits and transfers. What a train wreck!

The Trojan Wire and Yahoo sports report it is a done deal with Lynn.

Wonder what players will join Moore on December 8?

Ironically you have people anxious to see who we can get from the transfer portal to play on our team.

Yeah, apparently some folks are still trying to arrange deck chairs on a sinking Titanic. After experiencing 6 seasons of continuous mediocrity and an upcoming 7th iceberg awaiting them in the Big-10, you have to wonder why they're still on the ship. I'm sure Chip Alford and Martin Guerrero will have lifeboats staked out for themselves in 2024, leaving behind their loyal supporters wearing "Diarrhea" life jackets, whille the U$C ship celebrates as the Bruin football program disaster unfolds.

Only UCLA football has the drama for its faithful fans and classy, educated alums to write such superbly sardonic paragraph

Had to scroll down to #60 on Rivals for UCLA's next year's recruiting class.
