On Sunday afternoon, a report surfaced from CBS that talked about head coaching candidates for the UCLA job, and Jonathan Smith's name was mentioned.
The second-year head coach is from Pasadena, Calif., and it might make sense for him to want to move closer to home while still leading a Big Ten program, but the job is just not great. DeShaun Foster was run out of two just three games into his second season and the addition of Nico Iamaleava this offseason has done next to nothing for the offense.
UCLA is bad.
Still, there had been speculation that Smith might consider the move, and it warranted a write-up.
