2023 CFB Coaching Carousel begins to spin and spin…

[How Sway?!]

UCLA is now on an island in the Big 10, granted with USC. They have lost their longstanding conference and will be competing with mostly midwest schools. Look at their road schedule next year: @Hawaii, @LSU, @Penn St., @Rutgers, @Nebraska, @Washington. That is an insane amount of travel! Is it really that attractive of a job?

Thats a normal OOC schedule nowadays.

DeShaun Foster is probably the best bet to preserve some of the roster.

Coached under Jim Mora @ UCLA two different times. Mora gave Foster his start in coaching and then hired him as his RB Coach after a stint @ Texas Tech.

Better to be in the club than on the outside looking through the fence these days of power consolidation:

Maybe he just like SC and wanted to go back

More accurately he's moving from a low level G-5 to P-2.

I think he was a modestly successful head coach and he had topped out with no clear path to becoming a head coach at a bigger program. So, you might as well take a P2 assistant job.

Bingo! This article from ESPN explains it:

Apparently he never moved his family from South Carolina.

Crappy to do that in middle of spring practice.

Strength coach to interim head coach is interesting.

Was he their only coach? Surely they had another adult available.

But to what end? Can't properly assess the players of you don't know what schemes the team plans to run.

By pausing they kept practices available for the new coach to implement systems and assess. There’s a limited amount of practice days allowed
