didn't read the 'couple lawyers' piece, but did see the BHGP piece and the comments underneath. i don't know if there is a coach who has entered a job with lower fan fare than steveo.

I seen some of the same comments, Alfraud may get a few boos the first time he is announced as coach at a game.
 
i don't believe i've seen - in all of these alfred postings' a reference of the 'freaking iowa' bit he played on a reporter.....that was one of my faves......

pure class...
 
The irony of this situation is Alf will bank a bunch of coin, save most of it, get let go, then become an analyst.

Then, we'll get to watch/listen to him regularly.

Ugh.

(When I said 'a couple lawyers' I was referring to Bruingirl83's post and some other lawyers in the comment section. I wasn't very clear there.)



Here's the link to the guest blog from BHGP: So You've Hired A Steve Alford - Bruins Nation

This lady (Bruingirl83) spent 15 years as an Assistant DA and decided to google search the case after reading the guest blog from BHGP.: No Leadership By Guerrero Leads To No Integrity For Our Program - Bruins Nation

Here is another post reacting to Alford's response to a question about the PP case during his introductory press conference: Alford Shows No Remorse & Takes No Responsibility for His Past Actions in Iowa - Bruins Nation


Judging by the comments in several articles over there, I'd say about 70% of the fans on that site want him gone now. Not sure about other UCLA sites.

thanks - i think 70% too low. i said earlier, but i can't imagine a worse start for a coach anywhere, let alone UCLA. he'll need to win early and often.

If the pressure heats up more and is never-ending over the summer, do you think Alford might bail out of this gig before October this year? If so, what happens to him then? To Minnesota?

He is stuck, NMU already hired Neal so he cannot go back there. Obviously money drove him to UCLA, he can say blah blah blah about playing where Wooden coached, UCLA tradition, and what not we all know why he took the job. In his mind he has done nothing wrong and is the greatest coach since Wooden. According to him based on his accomplishments at Iowa and NMU he is already a legend by coaching them to all those "championships". His ego will not allow him to leave now, UCLA just made him a very rich man in a position that he has no business being in.

I think most of the hate from middle aged men for Alford stems from the fact that most of your wives wanted to have an affair with him. Its alright Sioux, Stevie wouldnt have gone for your heifer.

My wife always thought he looked like a hick.
 
He is stuck and UCLA is stuck. My god, even a LITTLE contrition could have neutered this.

How could SA and DG not anticipate this, after the Bernstein article, and prepare a solid answer? PR malpractice.

And yes, the anger towards Guerrero is white-hot right now. It had been simmering for awhile, around transparency issues, clumsy football and basketball search processes, relations with UC administration/regents etc. but this has just blown it open.

Oh well, nothing a Final Four won't solve...
 
Actually a final four will not fix this for Alf. If he does not win a national title, and soon, he will be toast.

Three Final Fours didn't fix anything for Howland, bro. For crissakes, that guy won the PAC12 this year and got fired.

Alfraud's F'd. Two years max.
