Updates: Chow Excited About UCLA, Didn't Return Kiffin's Calls While Barkley Was "Dreaming" About Chow At U$C

She was absolutely exposed as a fraud and shill for South Central.

And ROFL with your qualification: “who can read and write and have qualifying SAT scores”

King your right how fast the suc spinsters hit the airwaves. Chow is overated and ucla offense was awful. Didn’t ucla lose all there games this year. Sc better off without chow, it was never gunna happen. What a joke that’s been the spin on 710. These guys are desperate they see it’s about to crash and burn over there. It’s our time Rick go get em

any news?

Not sure how long this post will stay up on WeAreSC.com. A reader just emailed us the following post from that site from a diehard Trojan fan:

“With PC gone, Gary finally made some remarks. With Lane’s arrival he is now giddy. Of course he has to be this way because his living depends on his relationship with these guys. Mine, of course, does not and I might not be around to see Gary’s “new era.” So blast me now, but I hate it when the bad guys come out on top.

I thought Al Davis had gone out of his mind when he hired Lane, but then realized he has long been out of his mind. I wrote then Lane would last no more than a year and he may become tarnished goods from the experience. Sark was smart for turning it down. Lane was stupid for accepting. But like Vol fans feel today, at least it got rid of him. Incredibly, Tennessee hired him and I thought what are they doing? This is too good a program to experiment on a coach who has done nothing. What ******** this guy must be able to do in a meeting. But he was blessed with USC program association.

And sure enough in the Vol opener Lane on 4th and 2 inside Bruin 10 in final moments called a similar play as he did against Texas with the same result.

It took a lot of years for so many people on the site to finally see the dark side of P. Carroll. Those who criticized the last 5 years, like myself, were called all sorts of names. But still no one could deny that he was a talented coach. With Lane, all U.S.C. gets is more dark side without the benefits. Arrogance, ego and rule bending.

He has done nothing in his career to justify this job. Garrett pushed the panic button. He made a deal quickly to try to save the recruiting class but a long line the coach is what is important. Monte, of course, is a good pick-up, and while O is valuable he also has to be watched. To me the right coach is more viable in the long run than some lost recruits. Get the best man available. Not the worst

The big news was that NC would come back. Davis, too. Garrett said that NC was a priority. This site, despite many delusional members who have tried to put Chow down because he was no longer the U.S.C. coach, started going wild at the news. But what was anyone thinking? Lane was the guy who masterminded Chow’s ouster in the first place. These 2 are going to get along? Kiffin is going to hand over to Chow the keys and say always knew you were better in the first place? And Davis…he left because of what they did to Chow. He is going to comeback for Kiffin?

I know personally Garrett was upset over what happened to Chow. Now he wants him back but thinks Lane is the guy to get Chow back? Last I heard Lane has not called him yet. Garrett should have hired NC as the coach. Garrett says he looks for a coach about the bloom will here is a guy who has not been given the chance. Get him a good assistant coach to cover a lot of the program details and a good staff and he is on his way.

What happened to Gruden, Edwards, etc.? Were they offered? There are a lot of proven coaches out there. Skip Holtz. Want a coach about to bloom—-Walker.

Just as in national media eventually saw through P. Carroll, it sees right through this “kid”, too. No one has expectations of him ever being a Saban. He is not going to be popular and is not going to be the face you want on the program.

I have always said I never blamed Lane for taking the job or even going after it (accept it was sort of shady). I blamed PC for going along with it and bumping Chow and giving it to Lane.

When he was hired by the Raiders I had a sigh of relief never thinking in my wildest imagination this would occur. If anything I thought Sark was being groomed as the successor. Maybe if PC had been a little more honest about his future plans and goals a deal could have been made to keep Sark around knowing he would take over. McKay was brought to U.S.C. to take over when Don Clark retired. John Robinson was then later brought U.S.C. for the same reason. Each knew they were getting the head job. All PC probably had to do was tell Sark he would being going back to pros soon.

As I said before PC’s manner and timing in leaving "fricked" USC. That it resulted in the hire of Lane means he really fricked the Trojans. And of course we see the PC dark side clone outdid PC in "fricking" Tennessee.

I have been in a love affair for 55 years with U.S.C. How do you continue it when you can’t stand the coach? Not just coaching, but personally.

Tollner was not so bad. Smith off his record at Arizona was a good pick. And his first-3 teams went to the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, he had arrogant issues as well and his team lost respect for him. Did ok resurrected at Missouri. As to Hackett, he had been a great OC, but failed in his other head coaching try and was probably a dumb pick. But there were more reasons to hire Hackett than Lane. He had a lot of success as OC and had developed Vince Evans and Paul McDonald. What has Lane done?

To me Lane will always be known as 4th and 2. The man who connived to get Chow’s job, and had dads influence to assist, starting the downward spiral in U.S.C.’s once apparent dynasty to the program that is.

He needs a line coach, an OC, linebacker coach, etc. And someone who can say "Lane, no." But I doubt the latter exists. You would think there would be some deference to his father, but his father certainly could not control his mouth at Tennessee.

We needed someone who makes us think of a John, like in McKay, Robinson, Wayne, Kennedy, Wooden. But all I will ever see is 4th and 2."

Wow. At least we wait about 2 years to get going on Dorrell!!!

Chow said “I have a couple I’m bringing in.” Love the use of first-person.

rough transcription of conference call at

yeah, I think I’ll let it go to voice mail

“I don’t know that. It’s not about the money. It’s really not about the money. It’s about the excitement we have here at UCLA. At my point in my career I think I’d like to give Rick a little bit of a hand in helping UCLA football.”

This is a nice read that was tweeted by allmightybruins. Warning to recruits.

People do honor contracts.

People do keep commitments.

Money is not everything. Sometimes, passion and loyalty is more important than dollars.

Geezer Brother Chow, Thank you for the lesson.

sjh

PS. GBC (Geezer Brother Chow) handled this with incredible class and dignity. He did not let the press force him into commenting. What we didn’t hear was deliberate. He was not going to jump on their merry-go-round.

From the moment this started, I kept saying that GBC was a man of faith and integrity. He handled it like a man of faith and integrity.

I am so proud of him. Not for what he can do with a football team, but for the lessons he can teach all of us — and particularly the young who have allowed the economic climate to steal their passion and believe that one must follow the money wherever dark it may lead them.

The Greatest thing about all of this..We are getting UCLA name out there to the whole country. Espn, Usually does not report to much on UCLA. Now, they are talking about UCLA nationally. Plus, we are the topic on all over the radio. This is a win win for UCLA. This will show how classy UCLA is, and help us with recruiting. Thanks NC. You helped out a lot. With out saying much at all. Go Bruins.

Stumbling all over himself on the radio
