Hilarious how passionate they are especially when you consider the majority of these press peeps would vote to abolish all carry and conceal laws..... "this but not that." And why all the opinions when no one knows exactly what happened in this case? Did Luca compromise the well being of the players? Did he tell the staff to F off after being given several warnings? I didn't see a detailed account of what little Luka actually did to get "suspended." anyone?
"Riley showed that for all his football genius, he can be an incredibly petty control freak who hasn't yet adjusted to this big market's culture of transparency and accountability."
Plaschke has always been scewed in the head...Jim Murray he is not...surprised the Times kept that moron around as long as they have..and I've got news for him...if he thinks the market culture gives a rats ass about anything but winning he's more stupid than I thought...closed practices and getting rid of paper boys that aren't helpful to the team...is nothing new...
Obviously you have never watched Nick Saban....considering how many times last season you brought up BAMA I would have thought you would know a little more ..
I would like to make fun of this, and what a salty bitch he is being, but I can't. The media is horrible and no matter how much of a diva Lincoln is being on this, I can't not take his side.
I guess. But you see, I am not used to having any media outlets report on anything UCLA because:
A. Chip Kelly refuses to let them near the program because it causes his assburgers to flair up and he doesn't like people questioning his obvious flaws, instead claiming that they are "learning opportunities" in his BS growth mindset mirage.
B. There has been nothing to report on, no one cares about UCLA football outside of a select few
3. UCLA does not play well with the media by choice when it comes to aathletics, they would rather not have them and would like to instead be featured in Scientific American or some other such bore.
Maybe Riley should ratfuck Prime and hire Warren Sapp. I think that is what this is actually. The focus has been on Prime, and that chaps Lincoln's ass.
I think that CLR wants as little attention on himself as possible. He hated the constant attention he got in Norman. Hated it. Just wanted to coach and have his private time to himself. He doesn't do commersials. He doesn't do outside speaking gigs. He doesn't do endorsments. He doesn't drive arount LA at midnight in a white van trying to fix gang problems like Carroll.
CLR is wicked smart, careful with his words and talks to the press a little as possible.
This last move was very Kiffeneque, But CLR is not an asshole. Maybe he is in private, but he doesn't come off that way. Kiffin was always an asshole.
Utla's problem with football is that it needs to win something. Actually win something and your games will go to SOFI and get more fans than it could ever want. Came close last year. You have a better quarterback this year. A lot better.
ps, Has Sapp ever coached the d line? Most GREAT players don't make great coaches because most got away with more talent than actual technique . It's the average player that worked his ass off that turns into a great coach. The great player that becomes a great coaches are the exception to the rule.
I didn't realize people are so pissed at Riley for this. Seems minor to me, but people are all over him.
From Plaschke at the LAT:
"Riley showed that for all his football genius, he can be an incredibly petty control freak who hasn't yet adjusted to this big market's culture of transparency and accountability."
This isn't going to help him in the Coach Rankings.

USC being stupid and petty on this. Which is something Riley does. He's a control freak when it comes to info on his programs.
