you can say this about virtually every assistant coach. The jury is still out on if Lynn is even a good DC. But let's say he is a great DC. Still nobody has supplied any evidence that he will be a good HC. And that is the point. UCLA should not be a petri dish for testing out coordinators as head coaches.

if you're going to trivialize and distill it down to "virtually every assistant coach", then there's no discussion to be had.

Face facts, again. Donut Dan, Chipster, and Jelly 2.0 have run our football program into the ground. What should be is no longer the case.

With the situation and timing weтАЩre in, our best options are rolling the dice on a coordinator of interest, vastly overpaying a lower level head coach on the rise to abandon their current program at the last second, or hoping a retread can rediscover their mojo.

Who would you like to hire at this time, thatтАЩs a realistic option?

I'm not disputing that our best options are now rolling the dice. it's literally our only option, in fact. Give a coordinator or mid major coach an offer they cannot refuse (i.e. a power 5 head coaching job), hold your nose, and hope for the best.
