The '82 Washington-UCLA game was one of the best defensive classics I've ever seen

Classy dude. Waiting for our group to be seated in a restaurant in NB the night before my final wedding (he was waiting with his wife), he noticed a very large ring I was wearing, and came up and asked if it was a Superb Owl ring (it was not). Had a little convo, I paid my respects to him...After being seated, he sent a bottle of champagne to our table...RIP, CSB...Gritty Little Bruin

Donohue had a winning record against James. No USC coach did

UCLA was a real program for much of his tenure. Had some great teams in the 70s and 80s. When the PAC 12 was tuff.

Last coach who could consistently win at UCLA.

Top 5 Pac coach of all tim.

RIP.

Their '82 team was 10-1-1, with the only loss being to Washington, 10-7

But still James had almost the same number of conference wins with 2 fewer seasons at the helm. Still the best Pac 12 coach of the modern era, unless we want to go with Carroll.

I think James has the best blend of longevity and success that typically is associated with greatness. Pete was undoubtedly a better coach on a per game basis but look at somebody like Kelly - he was too, until he wasn't.

It's DJ (ILTCHDJ) wiff a bullet.

True, but still USC and no blicks in the SEC.

USC started a black QB in the 60's

And no USC coach other than Caroll can even approach that record

Maybe some of the olden time guys

Neither McKay nor James had to play a ranked Oregon State.

There was also the Giant Killers of ‘67 that beat McKay. 3-0. First version of the toilet bowl.

Back in the good old days, the LA schools and Washington ran the conference. No trash from Eugene

Glad Beavs had a huge celebration to remember losing to UW in 1967

USC also started a black running back in 1967 who won the Heisman trophy
