Remember when UCLA hired Chip Kelly?
Remember when Dan Guerrero, he who hired Karl Dorrell and Rick Neuheisel, conducted the coaching carousel’s most efficient search by contacting, negotiating with and signing one of college football’s most elite coaches in the span of a week?
Given what transpired at Tennessee, Arizona State, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Florida, Oregon and elsewhere, it feels like Chip Kelly has been UCLA’s head coach for 3 years instead of just 3 weeks. UCLA dominated the news cycle on a Saturday morning for a hot minute.
But there has been a lot going on in Westwood since Kelly took over, and it doesn’t even account for UCLA’s acceptance of a bid to the Cactus Bowl to take on Kansas State in Phoenix on December 26th.
