Stevie is out at UCLA

[CycloneErik]

First you have to realize he is never coaching st ISU again. Then you look where he could be successful, then you look at what he wants. We can be certain of the first two.

After all that, he wouldn’t bother ISU out at UCLA.

Personally, UCLA is my seconds fav college team (wife is Alumn), so we get to cheer on Fred! FTR we boycotted UCLA MBB under Steve.

So this would hinder his ability to buy out Prohm?

Delay it. If he just rolled the ball out, he would probably be released in 2-3 years but have a pretty big severance to be able to make the full buy out.

wonder how much the twins are tied to hinsdale central. fred made a big deal about not pulling his daughter out of high school.

that said, i bet fred could talk ucla into giving him a 5/6 yr $25-30m deal - they'd be desperate to do that.

and it'd be even funnier if fred just made his assistants do all the traveling for recruiting, and fred could just host official visits in jan/feb/mar and lock up his classes in advance with kids 25 miles from campus.

I'll take it, I've had my eyes on this primo crib in Pacific Palisades.

UCLA is my second least favorite college (MBB) team. So that would be a bitter pill for me. But would be happy for Fred if he landed at a blue blood like that.

Since when is firing a coach during Christmas break the norm? Something missing from the story?

 

[Gunnerclone]

People really love jerking it to Fred going to coach at some other school. My grandma says he’s enjoying this break and is already planning on coaching in the NBA next year, the college thing went out the window when he left ISU he’s not coming back to college and a big part of that is loyalty to ISU.

Agree with your first certainty.
We'll have to stay tuned to whether or not UCLA is Fred's next dream job.

Even while a coach in college Fred watched NBA at night and would jot down plays and text with his assistants.
I just see him as an NBA guy right now, even though he’d be a great hire at UCLA.

I probably agree with that but NBA might not be available.

I think he’s going to get paid thru June 2020. If I was him I’d be very selective.

He could sign a certain somebody that has visited UCLA recently that I think we lead for.

They've lost 4 in a row, they lost to Belmont and Liberty at home, Liberty beat them by 15. I can't believe we don't have any Lavaar Ball to UCLA hype. I'm sure he'll weigh in.

 

[Bigman38]

I don't know how he feels about coaching at college again, and apparently I'm the only one. But if he does end up in college again UCLA would be a place where it'd be pretty easy to root for him.

He's outside of the 25 miles from campus. No worries.

True but Prohm is the one who built the relationship with Foster and his family.
Not to say Xavier isn't aware of Fred and his style could be a good fit but likely if he was going to UCLA (or USC) it is more to play in Cali for a historically great program rather than who the coach is. IMO

Well now the door is open for Steve Alford to swoop in so everything's fine.

Yeah, I just did that.

 

[cycloneML]

Please please please Fred to UCLA.

His dream job. What a user.

Failing at a Blue Blood program with unlimited resources and great recruiting base never looks good on your resume.

Stevie will be lucky to get a head coaching job at a respectable mid-major program. I'd bet he will end up an assistant at a high profile Power 5 school.
