Eric Bieniemy hired as the Offensive Coordinator for UCLA

They still have budgets to adhere to unless they have sizeable endowments from the alumni that are specifically for the sports program, and apparently right now they missing that. The sports program posted like a 35 million dollar debt last year. Same reason why Cals football program is falling apart as well

UCLA, Cal-Berkeley athletic departments report deficits in FY '23

UCLA and Cal continue to bleed cash as both athletic departments posted a combined deficit of more than $80M in FY2023 when support from central campus is removed from the equation.

yes and UCLA and Cal aren't gonna take time trying to convince alumni to donate for NIL neither. They focus on other shyt

Bad coaching hires, especially for basketball. Plus the football programs has to give kick backs to fellow UC school Cal Berkeley for leaving them hi and dry and bolting to the Big Ten.

Honestly they should have taken a shot at Prime, because it's going to take that type of intrigue to invigorate the alumni base. But as you said they really not trying to make those moves. I mean going back to the Riley hire, SC boosters bought his old house and gave him a new house in Ranchos Palos Verdes and that's the kinda shyt you need these days

Chiefs winning while losing mad players and him was obviously not to his favor.

But there must be something else. People keep saying black coaches like other black coaches don’t get hired. 30-something black coaches get hired for HC jobs, this seems more like a Bienemy problem. I see cacs saying that Beli isnt getting hired cause he’s white too. It’s funny though, cause somehow he managed to stack mad fans like he was a legendary player or something. I’m tryna understand how

Dude is hustling backwards. 2 superbowls and he taking an OC job in college? If you go to college then it should be as a head coach with his resume. Would have even been more respectable if he we to an hbcu as head coach and pull a prime.

The Pac-10 schools have always been good on hiring Black Coaches so I'm not surprised UCLA hired one.

It's wild how huge the racism gap is when it comes to different leagues and Black hires. Pac-12 has hired 4x as many Black head coaches and AD's than the SEC has, despite being in a far whiter region.

The numbers behind the gap in Black hires for college football's top jobs

ESPN examined the hiring of Black leaders at every Power 5 football program, spotlighting four positions: head coach, athletic director, and offensive and defensive coordinator, the jobs most likely to produce head coaches.

SEC states have by far the largest Black populations in the country. They recruit from the Blackest neighborhoods, they have a higher # of Black players coming through their program, they have connections to by far the most former NFL athletes who enter the coaching ranks. And yet outside of Vandy (cause no one at Vandy cares about football like that), only FIVE of their last 155 head coach / AD hires have been Black men.

Compare that to the Pac-12, where outside of California there's hardly any Black folk in their regions at all. Yet over the same time period, the Pac-12 has hired 20 Black head coaches / ADs.

5/155 = 3% black leadership in the blackest region of the country
20/137 = 15% black leadership in the whitest region of the country

[By the way, Vandy has 5 Black head coach/AD hires in that same time frame. Which means Vandy by itself has hired as many black folk into leadership as THE OTHER 13 SEC PROGRAMS COMBINED! And, of course, they do that can Vandy is an academic school without the fanatical racist white football booters that fill up all the other SEC schools. ]

Maybe but if the goal is to become a nfl head coach I would imagine he trying to show his offense will work against tougher competition

Is hue still at gambling?

I wish it was someway to snatch all the talent out the sec cause them racist ass states get a lot of money from college athletics

 

[the next guy]

We've seen many other black coaches get hired so something is just wrong on Bienemy's end

 

[Gritsngravy]

I wish somebody would ask these dudes, why black oc don’t get hired, or black offensive dudes in general don’t get hired

And I see the nfl gave him the green light to shyt of eb now

Ain’t got proof of shyt but it’s his fault he didn’t get hired

 

[aceboon]

shyt has been completely downhill for him since he left the Chiefs. was he forced out of KC? he would have been better off just letting a good thing roll if that wasn't the case

He should have taken a HC job in college years ago straight off the Chiefs run instead of going to the trash ass redskins and then trash ass ucla.
