In Reply to: The main reason Skipper can't be our HC next year... posted by BuscH on October 25, 2025 at 11:32:36
I think you also have to factor in that Cignetti brought his staff and some players with him when he went to IU. I honestly don't know how tough of a guy he is, but I would would guess the assistants offset anything that's harsh also. His confidence definitely carries over.
As far as Skipper, I'm still in wait and see mode. I didn't expect much this year, so Skipper breathed some life back. He has still done a lot to get UCLA in a conversation. At least we still have games to go to see if Skipper is an option to consider. Personally, I'm still concerned about who would have genuine interest in the UCLA job when the interviews start and what kind of staff they'll have. If someone like James Franklin was an option, I'd be good with it. I don't really think that would even be a consideration.
