This isn’t your conventional coaching search. It comes at a very inopportune time. It’s always the right time to fire a failed coach, but there are more opportune times to hire a coach than in February.
Right now, many would-be coaching candidates are preparing to kick off their spring practice at their current programs. Many start in March. So, it would likely have to be a situtation where the move to UCLA is obviously a step-up and it’s understandable, despite the bad timing, or the coach candidate isn’t currently employed as a coach.
We’ve heard from sources close to UCLA that it intends to make this a quick search, but we’ll believe it when we see it.
Here are some names that 1) we’ve heard already mentioned, 2) we think make a great deal of sense and could logically be considered or 3) both.
