OK big question about Tedford real quick.

[BeaverPoke]

With Sarkisian, the Washington coach, accepting the USC job, that means the Washington job is up for grabs.
Everyone is saying Mora from UCLA will likely take it since he played at Washington and has said that his dream job is the Washington job.
So if he leaves UCLA to take the Washington job, who does UCLA hire?
Do they go after Tedford?
Would Tedford want the UCLA job? Does he want to be back in the Pac12 already?
He obviously has tons of connections in the state of California, and knows the Pac12 really well.

I hope that the Pac12 musical chairs fiasco doesn't mean Tedford gets back into the Pac12.

If I was him, I would UCLA over Wyo in a heartbeat.

Lot of ifs and whats there...

But to answer the question - UCLA is not going to hire a Cal retread (Tedford).

I saw on twitter that Mora had already met with Washington and was working out contract negotiations.

Interesting. Still don't think UCLA is going to hire a retread. It is UCLA. They have the athletic budget and booster group to pretty much go after whomever they want. Think Jack Del Rio.

UCLA won't hire Tedford. What is more likely to happen(no saying likely but more likely) would for UCLA to hire Deruyter out of Fresno and for Fresno to take Tedford.

Agree with you. The linchpin to me in all this is where, if anywhere, Deruyter goes. Fresno State would be a better fit for Tedford than Wyoming if everything falls a certain way.

That may be one of the reasons they want to move fast. Pick him up before those dominoes fall.
