Lets take a look at their coaches since 1975:
Chip Kelly - 6 year tenure - closed on 3 straight winning season of 8+ wins
Jim Mora - 5 year-tenure - won 8+ games 4 of his 5 years.
**Going back to 2012 and including this year, UCLA has won 8+ games a season 50% of the time.
Rick Dorell - 10 win season in 2005
Rick Neuheisel was a mistake - only coach in the past 50+ years not to win 8 games in a single season. Lasted 4 years. You have go back to Bill Barnes in the 1960s to find another coach who didnt win at least 8+ games in a season
Bob Toledo - multiple 10+ win seasons in 7~ years
Terry Donahue - multiple 10+ win seasons in a 20 year span
So going back to the 1970s, only one coach has failed to win 8+ games in a year at least once. This was all before UCLA was getting a $80 million dollar yearly payout from the Big Ten. People are acting like this program is Vanderbilt or something, it is absolutely wild.
Even if UCLA only spends 50% of their annual big ten payout on football - that nearly matches the total the ACC schools got last season (45 million).
Then you have this “they don’t care” narrative. No school fires a 2nd year coach 3 games into the season if they don’t care or don’t have the resources to replace them. So what am I missing here? They have the resources - they have the motivation. Every coach has won there. Where is this narrative coming from?
