LA sports radio is reporting that Chow gave a bad interview and he is out of the running. He also gave a bad interview at Stanford a few years back. UCLA seems to be down to Neuhisel, Harbaugh's brother, and June Jones as the dark horse

Lane Kiffin was being mentioned for Arkansas. I wonder why his name hasn't come up for UCLA? That seems like a good fit.

Maybe we've already got Kiffin under contract

What happened with Mariucci?

Mariucci wanted north of a milion. Dwayne Walker their DC and best recruiter is also still in the mix

Hell, were willing to put up $1.5 million. Maybe we should be considering him!

Because its a challenge! Also, would YOU want to live in Michigan? (Its a HELL of a lot warmer here than it is in central Michigan. I'll bet they are praying for some GLOBAL WARMING right about now! )

yea i guess but he was coaching in DETROIT a year prior to that...he doesnt want a challenge, he wants money and a sure thing

The sure thing is $2 million/year for 5 years. That comes to $10 million secured by a written contract. Sounds pretty SURE to me! Plus you get to live in Dallas, which is in the sunbelt with a relatively low cost of living and NO state income tax! That last item is a SIGNIFICANT advantage of taking a job in Texas versus a lot of other locals that hasn't been mentioned on this board!

Maybe, maybe not. I don't know if he will, and I know that you don't know either, but financially we can offer a HELL of a lot more than a lot of other locals just matching their offer!
