...is opening on 1/2/2026 for a brief 10-day period
The earlier, the better. Gotta find a new coach before Jan 2 arrives--hopefully, as soon as possible after the season ends. Otherwise...what high quality players are going to come to Ucla when they don't know who the coach is going to be?
I think we're going to see more dismissals in November, even October, because university admins are going to need time to find the new guy. And many coaches don't want to interview for a job that isn't technically open. Bad karma.
