Jim Mora Jr. is currently considered a top candidate. That should tell you all you need to know about UCLA's coaching search.
People laughed when USC hired Carrol.If he'll take the paltry sum I'm sure UCLA is offering, it would be a nice pickup. Being able to point to well over two decades of NFL coaching experience, six as a head coach, no matter how unsuccessful, is something blue chips will look at and like. And couldn't ask for a better campus on the west coast.
