Jarmond switched gears and decided to go with Fossy. "The players really like him"??
From the 2022 NYT article, Aikman's comment was spot on, “Chip is the only one I can think of who has had other opportunities.” Chip was the only HC we hired since Donahue retired who either had another HC offer (Florida) or was working as a HC. We offered a # of then head coaches over the years post TD, Neuheisel (then HC at Colorado), Barnett (NW), Glen Mason (Kansas, I believe we offered), Petersen, Petersen, Al Golden. All passed. UCLA fans, administrators tend to overrate our Head Football Coach job as compared to the coaching world's opinion of the job.
I'm fine with hiring a successful FCS HC or a top FBS coordinator but...we won't be looking to do that for a while...
