Florida might be a better job, but I think UCLA makes more sense for Chip. He is already familiar with the...

recruiting area, the Pac 12 is not a conference known for defense which plays into Chip's strength of putting a dynamic offense on the field. There is less pressure than there would be at Florida, he will have more time at UCLA to get things going than he would at Florida.

UCLA is a no-brainer. Low-ish expectations. Weaker conference.

Recruiting familiarity.

UCLA. Easier conference, lower expectations, pro sports town

Florida would be a better place to live, but the SEC is a tougher conference.

UCLA...he knows the PAC12 and should have better ties on the West coast for recruiting....

With an attitude like that you might as well coach at UNC or some other

Ulysses14

11/22/17 4:49pm

Exactly. I'd guess LA has more college fans than NC as a whole.

Jeffacka

11/22/17 6:33pm

NC as a state may have fewer people than the LA metro area, but about 90% of

90%? I think you grabbed that out of nowhere. That number is way too high.

No one in LA cares about college football. That's funny.

UCLA. They’ll give a guy longer than 3 years, recruiting just as good, easier

UCLA is a no-brainer.

Florida. And I'd dethrone Saban's rule over the SEC

Ulysses14

11/22/17 4:47pm

You’d try for 3 years then they’d fire you.

Either way I'd rather compete against the best
