Sports: UCLA football coach search, the saga continues ...

Plaschke has a point:

Two days. That's how long it took Mississippi to find a new head football coach.

Fifteen days. That's how long it took Washington State.

Sixteen days. That's how long it took Northern Illinois.

Nineteen days. That's how long it took Duke.

Twenty-five days and counting. That is how long it is taking UCLA, the self-styled heavyweight dropping in class by the day.

If this goes on any longer, the Bruins will be reduced to dueling Temple for the services of a coach with a 5-19 career record.

Oh, wait, that has already happened.

And UCLA was knocked out.

The guys over at Bruins Nation are trying to hold their fire and they are honest enough to admit that the coaches on their list are long shots.

So DG should hire RN soon unless as the BN people speculate DG is working up a deal no one has caught the scent of yet.

We shall see!

UPDATE: Its official. UCLA has hired Rick Neuheisel.
