As much as I disliked the playcalling at times and the penalties, and the loss of course, to compare Chipster Alfraud - the dumpster fire to Coach Fos is not even close to being fair.

Coach Fos needs a great OC and needs to let that OC call the plays. Period. Coach Fos needs to get HIS recruits which he will as he is a natural genuine recruiter and enjoys it, and he needs to secure NIL funding which he embraces.

CA was an a** through and through, who hated recruiting and had zero affection for UCLA or fans - he was about the $$$$, that's it. He was a disgusting excuse for a coach and person.

I too believe this loss was inexcusable due to the poor play calling and penalties, but Coach Fos is a fine and intelligent human being who has humility and will learn from this season. He made mistakes but he deserves a bit of grace. A great QB and OC will help a lot.

The vitriol against Coach Fos is amazing to me considering how much he loves UCLA and how he has really reached out and connected with the Bruin community. He is a smart guy and will right the ship and become a very good Coach.

I think folks know my opinions about Chip Alford (I coined the moniker!) and glad he is history, and I wish nothing but the best for Coach DSF and hope for all the positive things you mentioned. I just wish he and his OC did a better job against U$C!
