Alford to Indiana

[Franisdaman]

I guess we'll know soon. I just now saw Alford being interviewed on Tv and it didn't sound like he was going anywhere anytime soon. Said we are getting ready to open up a new practice facility in about four months and said he was excited for the (think he said #2 and #3 players in next year). Would be a dumb move to go to Indiana where he couldn't begin to get players of that caliber. Of course he does unethical things like the huge extension he signed at New Mexico then a day or two later signed with UCLA.

Sounds like they LOVE the LA weather and life style, too

Not that unusual. Coaches (or more specifically, their representatives) have conversations with schools while seasons are still ongoing. If UCLA's AD hasn't been doing his due diligence on who he would want to hire if his current coach left, he's not earning his money.

The UCLA AD obviously didn't do his due diligence before he hired Alford. Hence the blow up in the fan base and alumni after the PP criminal activity became known. Whoops. I remember reading lots of articles over that one. The AD about lost his job, people were calling for his head anyhow... Hopefully for the university as a whole, he will pay attention this time.

Alford DID have conversations with Indiana. But now it is looking like they may have called him for advice. Which is probably a pretty smart thing to do.

Yes it would be (Bad for us tho). He would bomb at Indiana. And has maybe one year left at UCLA. Unless he can win....

Losing his kid and Ball, would be addition by subtraction. And adding all that LA talent makes it easy to not lose. But there is still hope, if you are a UCLA faithful. That he will lose, that is...
