Slick Rick with another winning hire

[BuffNut99]

Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel announced another change Monday: special teams coach Frank Gansz Jr. has left the staff for personal reasons and he has been replaced by Angus McClure.

McClure was the team's director of on-campus recruiting, though he possesses more than a decade of on-field college coaching experience.

McClure has been a member of the Bruins staff since 2007, when he was the tight ends coach under Karl Dorrell. He has spent the past three years in his recruiting position and has handled recruiting administration and organization; managing all official and unofficial visits; tracking all recruiting paperwork, including transcripts, serving as liaison to college All-Star game representatives; liaison with pro scouts; and other assignments from the head coach.

McClure came to UCLA after serving as the offensive line/run game coordinator on Turner Gill's staff at the University of Buffalo during the 2006 season. He spent the two previous seasons (2004-2005) as an assistant on Bill Callahan's staff at Nebraska. He assisted with the offensive line, coaching the offensive tackles, as well as serving in several special teams roles. From 1997-2003, McClure was the assistant head coach and offensive line coach from 1997-2003 Sacramento State.

You mean he was part of the Waterloo that was 2004-5 Nebraska football? And he hasn't even coached since then? Did Kent Riddle not return your call? Really Rick, this just keeps getting better.

Slick Rick is a sinking ship at UCLA, if he hadn't been a rose bowl QB there way back he would already be gone.
The only question now is does he get fired for losing before he gets fired because of new NCAA violations.

Every school he has been at has started out strong and gone downhill, every school he has been at has been left with a disaster in the interior lines, and every school he has been at has been burdened by NCAA investigations since he thinks the rules apply to somebody else but not him.

He took over a perpetual top 10 program from Coach Mac and by the time he bailed out it was taking secondary bowl bids. Barnett ended up with only six O-linemen in the program his first spring practice following Neu. Barnett also had to deal with sanctions by the NCAA from Slicks loose handling of recruiting and benefits

When he went to Washington they were a program that had expectations of top 10 finishes and contending for the Rose bowl. When he left they were in shambles with NCAA sanctions on the way and hoping to contend for a bowl. The program is finally now recovering to a respectable level after he left it devoid of interior linemen.

His first year at UCLA he talked about contending with SC for dominance in LA. He went out and beat some teams that he wasn't expected to beat and got everyones attention, from there it's been downhill. Based on past history the NCAA should be just around the corner and with the penalties they leveled on USC and Neu's history of infractions UCLA will get absolutely hammered if the NCAA finds anything of note.

With all this going on if you were a front line assistant would you want to take a job that probably will be gone before the end of the season. The top assistants aren't going to touch this staff with a ten foot pole if they have any other choice. He didn't have a lot of options other than guys who were desperate to get back onto a staff.

That last paragraph sounds strangely familiar...

Slick is in the process of demolishing D 1 program number three. The only thing funnier would be if ASU hired him, I mean who wouldn't find Slick being hired by Lisa Love funny?
