08:57 AM ET 02.19 | If the UCLA Bruins struggle to another disastrous season next year, all bets are off. Rick Neuheisel will be squarely on the hot seat and all that hope he's been selling will have long evaporated. We already are seeing a diminishing of the pixie dust Neuheisel sold his past two recruiting classes. It's reflected in the rather subpar class he currently is putting together.

Isn't he already squarely on the hot seat? I think there's a chance he doesn't make it to the end of next season.

Neuheisel is on the Hot Seat?? ZOMG!!!!!! I never even imagined this was possible!!! I mean he's done just such a stellar job dethroning USC and leading his team to ten-win seasons-- oh, wait... he hasn't.

I don't remember ever seeing a coach on the sidelines look more lost and confused with a look of "I don't have a clue" on his face than when I saw Neuheisel against Stanford. He was yelling at his asst coaches, yelling at his players, getting his calls in too late, having to blow timeouts, players not knowing if they should go in the game or not. It was a mess.
I did not know a lot about him up to that point but he look overwhelmed by the task of being a head football coach.

I don't remember what Tuberville was like on the sideline but I can tell you that his last game was Auburn's least inspired Iron Bowl ever. I'm pretty sure he already had his house packed and the movers scheduled.

Isn't it more likely Neuheisel isn't being given the resources to do the job? A lot of colleges, and I mean A LOT of colleges give lip service to wanting a winner, but then don't provide the resources and support it takes to get one, opting instead to fire one struggling coach after another. Not all coaches are good, but didn't Neuheisel prove he could coach before he came to UCLA? I doubt if he suddenly forgot how. If UCLA wants to win with ANY coach, they will have to provide resources and support to do it. If they don't, then they only have themselves to blame, not the coach. UCLA has been through several coaches since their glory days. It is time to start wondering if the problem lies somewhere else and get serious about it fixing it or stop whining. I'm not saying they have to keep Neuheisel, he may be burned out by now, but whoever they keep or get, they need to support with more than just lip service and an inadequate budget (budgets as compared to the teams they want compete against).

RN needs to hang around-otherwise SDSU might lose out on a recruit or two from a decent UCLA HC.

After "retooling" his staff, if they still suck this year, it might be Skippy's fault

I think this would be great. With Colorado coming into the Pac 12, he could hold the distinction of running 25% of the football programs in the conference into the ground (Colorado, Washington and UCLA). How much longer can "pretty boy" survive after all the nonsense he has pulled in major college progams?
