Q for jarmond apologists
Posted Sun, Nov 24 5:29 pm
The JAs always lead with, "jarmond (Ucla) was FORCED to hire an unqualified, unpolished newbie to be hc because EVIL CHIP KELLY early Feb departure"

And thus, bad season in 2024 follows from bad hc. It's impossible to have a good team with a bad head coach.

But what now? It's not Feb anymore. There are going to be lots and lots of candidates available in a matter of weeks, if not days.

So what is jarmond gonna do?

1. The incumbents (DF and EB) are trash but they're all we could get and that's why the team looked so under coached, unpolished and undisciplined, and now we're going to upgrade in December 2024

-OR-

2. These are the guys we wanted all along so we're going to keep them

I think the answer is 2. So it doesn't matter when chip left voluntarily or was fired. It was always going to be DF.

so can we just lose the stupid, "chip fvcked us" loser lament?

It’s important that random people on a bb hammer this issue out here and now.

God’s work my friend.

What was Jarmond supposed to do? Who should he have hired

instead that was available on short notice? If that person you picked where hired and he had the same record as Foster has now you would be calling for him to be fired. You know NO one whoever coaches this team of the basketball team will EVER be GOOD enough.

Not impossible to have a good team with bad HC

LSU won National Titles with Ogeron and Les Miles and both of them were poor head coaches. You do need to have good asst coaches and recruiting (pipeline, cash, etc) to make up for a bad HC.

The answer to your question is #2 but I would qualify that by saying those are the guys MJ always wanted given his budget.

No coach of any consequence is going to take the UCLA coaching job as it stands, as a result Jarmond kept the guy the players wanted.

like this have ever worked in a profession where they were hired to lead a team and that team was comprised of employees that they did not hire or recruit themselves? And if so, when the results that followed were subpar, did they claim that it was 100% their fault as boss or did they lobby to remove the subpar performers and replace them with their own targeted recruits? To claim that the coaching staff is "Trash" when not one HS recruit or Dec-January Transfer had been signed is ridiculous "at this point". Ask any head coach why they are successful and all of them will say the same thing. Its the talented players and coaches around them that make them successful. This staff has yet to have the requisite time to add a full slate of new players and coaches. Is it the AD's fault when the HC quits in mid-February? Please list one example of a D1 Football head coach leaving in Mid-February and the interim coach or successor wins during that same year without having a chance to make changes. I would like to see one example of that in the entire history of collegiate football.
