UCLA Coach Fired After 0-3 Start

What's that Dr. Pepper team? Nico might go there.

The fact ucla paid Nico and family a dime should get several people fired.

 

[Delmar]

He wanted it.

If he did, his judgement was questionable and he deserved to be fired.

Nico probably will hit the 30-day portal window. My money is on Stanford. Like others have said, he’ll stay on the west coast. And no way Oregon will touch him. It’s gonna have to be a desperate program that takes him.

His camp will see if there is aniy interest in him, and if there is, he will hit the portal. But I'm not sure there will be any interest in Nico at this time of the year, with the money he will want. But if he stays at UCLA, I don't think he will make it to the end of the year with their ol.

I've said this since he was in HS and I'll say it again. Nico is going to end up playing volleyball and will be much better there than on the football field. That's where his heart is and that's where he excels.

UCLA has a top men's volleyball program so I could easily see him staying there and changing sports. Unless, of course, his father has made that impossible. If that's the case, he could go to several other schools on the West Coast with top programs like UC Irvine, UCSD, Pepperdine, etc.

Word going around his posse is shopping him around?

Well he had a disastrous start you can’t get dominated by New Mexico St and lose to UNLV. I remember once upon a time UCLA had a respectable football program. He was in over his head and a bad hire. I think Nico winds up back in the SEC next season at Ole Miss.

New Mexico Lobos, don't confuse us with the school in Las Cruces. It's bad enough a lot of folks don't understand we're a state.

 

[volanatic]

Gruden to UCLA?

Littlle Beamer to Va Tech?

Just asking.

Ha! Would be incredible! Although I would be disappointed if little Beamer went to Va Tech. I kind of want him to hang around the SEC and keep getting embarrassed in our conference.

Done are the days where people can play Tennessee for money without consequence. Not just Nico, I’m talking to you too, Mike Gundy. Who’s laughing now?

I've gotten the same feeling - I also feel that his family / daddy pushed him towards football because of the money.
I may be wrong, but I don't see professional or Olympic volleyball players making NFL or even CFL QB level money.
