UCLA athletics director Dan Guerrero, who hired Neuheisel, might be signaling the end of his own tenure by firing the coach he hired.

And maybe all these bad UCLA football vibes go away if Brehaut, who will get the start at Oregon State next week in the Bruins' league opener, throws a bunch of touchdowns and the Bruins start knocking people down on defense and UCLA becomes a factor in the Pac-12 South race.

But there is urgency in this situation. There may not be a hotter seat in college football.
