Until one of those two schools hires a coach that can develop the talent and manage games, they will both continue to underachieve.
UCLA has developed individual player talent very well under Mora. The weakness of the program is largely schematic and game management. I know the jealously is real with other P12 fans of the LA schools, but I think there is still upside for Mora at UCLA. More talent more depth and the program has the OL pipeline finally rolling after three years of predominantly first and second year starters on the OL.
SC is a just an average coach away from a juggernaut.
If Peterson manages a 10-3 year in either of the next two years, we know 81% of this board will be lining up to give him HJs, and won't call it underacheiving. Bias much?
We've had one ten win season since Poison was a cool band. I really hate to admit it and was on denial for a long time, but Warshington isn't really relevant and hasn't been for a long time. 10 wins is a start.
