UCLA fires Rick Neuheisel

UCLA fired head coach Rick Neuheisel after four seasons. He earned a 21-28 record with one bowl appearance, a win. UCLA actually won the Pac-12 South despite a 6-6 overall record and will play in the inaugural championship game. Neuheisel will coach the conference championship game but not the bowl game. The Bruins did appear to be mired in mediocrity, and losing to your crosstown rival USC 50-0 is inexcusable. I think the timing of this announcement is strange. I realize that it's a long shot, but what if UCLA upsets Oregon and plays in the Rose Bowl. UCLA should have waited a week before deciding Neuheisel's fate.
